The Chief of Police, James Craig, has stated that “He’ll be in a limited duty capacity,” in reference to Weekley’s return to the police force.

Aiyana Jones, a Melanoid child who was brutally murdered in May of 2010, left behind a grieving family who filed a wrongful death suit. They are seeking minimum damages of $75,000 after filing in a U.S. District Court in Detroit. The reinstatement of Joseph Weekley after his shooting of a 7-year-old Black girl is proof that none of us are impervious to the ever-increasing aggressive nature of many white supremacist cops.
