It's tough to say. There are also a lot of measures that area that are causing potential problems. Frisks without warrants, for one.
There's a big law enforcement problem, however, because the overwhelming majority of crime, both violent and non-violent, in Detroit is committed by blacks (disproportionate to the already large majority of citizens blacks constitute). If you're a police officer, how do you separate the idealist notion that everyone is equal from the reality that disparities in crime rates among racial groups are very pronounced?

If you're going to "pat someone down" you had better have probable cause beyond "that guy looks suspicious".
