Armed neo-Nazis at Detroit Pride parade made chimp noises at African Americans to incite another Charlottesville
Detroit police chief James Craig has said that the neo-Nazis who showed up at the city's Pride Parade on Sunday made chimpanzee noises towards African Americans as part of an attempt to incite violence, hoping to recreate the events of the infamous Charlottesville rally in 2017.
"As it turned out, there was no violence. And so, for me, I applaud the Detroit Police Department once again for keeping the line of communication open. This could have been a bad situation had it erupted into violence. It did not." Craig said both sides were shouting racial epithets at each other and to the police officers trying to keep the groups separate to deter any outbreak of violence.
