INKSTER, MI — A Wayne County Judge’s order to present Floyd Dent’s mugshot and booking video was delivered to the Inkster Police Department Wednesday. A protest followed. “We will stand until these officers are gone out of this police department,” Rev. Charles Williams II, president of the Detroit chapter of the Al Sharpton-founded National Action Network said into a megaphone from the front steps. Floyd, family members and 50-plus supporters cheered.
Dent, 57, of Detroit, is the subject of a violent arrest caught on police dash-cam video Jan. 28. Footage shows Dent pulled from his 2011 tan Cadillac after police reports say he committed multiple traffic violations and appeared to be evading police. MORE
