Detroit Police Chief James Craig addressed the incident on Monday:

"The officers did the right thing," he said. "They certainly left the location and then after they left to avoid any further harm, the protesters then left without any further incident."

"We knew then that we needed to not put ourselves in a position where a group of criminals would surround and attack the car," he said. "In this instance, they anticipated -- they were just blocking the road to redirect, but they didn't think they were going to get the reaction that they got."

Ketner said the protests had been peaceful until four cars blocked the protesters' route, prompting them to surround the vehicles until officers cleared the way.
"Right as we passed all four, the driver turned and started advancing toward us," Ketner told CNN Monday. "I can't explain how or why he thought it was a good idea, but that's what he decided to do. There were other vehicles farther down on Verner (Highway) and if they tried to claim they did it (to) get past us, they could have dispatched another officer (down the road)."
Ketner said police did not instruct the protesters to move out of the way before the vehicle accelerated into the crowd.
