Dearborn Police Chief BEGS Residents to “PLEASE STAY HOME!!” Ahead of Aug. 18 Council Meeting as Fed-Up Americans Plan to Confront Islamic Stronghold
Dearborn, Michigan police are in full panic mode.
Police Chief Issa Shahin released a desperate video message urging residents to stay away from Tuesday’s Aug. 18 city council meeting because “anti-Islam protesters,” including activists planning a “Christian Crusader March” to “Stop Islamification,” are expected to show up and exercise their First Amendment rights.
“Please stay home,” Shahin said.
Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin says individuals and organizations from outside the community may travel to the city for an anti-Islam demonstration. Police will deploy an “enhanced presence” and have prepared what the department describes as a comprehensive security plan.
Shahin claims the expected demonstrators are coming to provoke residents, manufacture a confrontation and generate publicity.
Shahin: “Individuals and groups from outside our community may come to the Dearborn City Council meeting on Tuesday, August 18th. We’ve been monitoring the situation closely and coordinating with our state and federal partners. We have a plan in place, and you will see an enhanced presence of police officers.
But here’s my direct ask of our residents: Please stay home.
These groups that are coming here are coming for one reason, and that’s to provoke a reaction and generate attention. If nobody shows up to react, they have nothing. The most powerful thing that this community can do is refuse to give them an audience.”
