"Some members of the Detroit City Council aren’t happy about the significant increase of police presence on Belle Isle now that it’s a state park.
Yet the police are addressing one of the primary complaints Detroiters had about the island before the state took it over:It wasn’t always a comfortable place for family leisure and recreation.
....City Council President Brenda Jones says troopers need sensitivity training, and she has repeated social media reports that hundreds of arrests have been made on the island, which came under state control Feb. 10.
But Michigan State Police numbers paint a different picture.
Troopers have reported 55 arrests out of 329 traffic stops from Feb. 1 to April 27.
Among those arrests were 25 fugitives who should have been behind bars."
