Hundreds show support for mother involved in standoff with Detroit police | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

 

Hundreds turned out to a rally in Detroit today to support a mother, who was charged after a standoff with police last week after Child Protective Services came to take the girl, claiming medical neglect.

Godboldo, 56, was charged with three counts each of assault with a dangerous weapon and resisting and obstructing a police officer, and one count each of felony firearm and discharging a firearm inside a building after barricading herself in her home March 24 with her daughter. She's accused of firing a gun at police, though one of her attorneys said last week that her client did not shoot at officers.

I don’t have all of the details of the story obviously. I don’t condone discharging a firearm for any reason. But I have to say I do kind of admire the apparent willingness of this mother to fight to keep her child at home.

How far would you go?
