Kalamazoo Police chief says Proud Boys completed their mission by causing chaos downtown Kalamazoo
KALAMAZOO, MI — Following a day of unrest that included a violent clash between alt-right group the Proud Boys and a crowd of counter-protesters, city officials met Sunday, Aug. 16 with area activists and the press to address their response to the situation.
City officials were unified in denouncing the Proud Boys “hate-mongering” message, and said it has no place in Kalamazoo,
but Public Safety Chief Karianne Thomas said the group achieved what it set out to.
