Protesters interrupted Gov. Rick Snyder's appearance Tuesday at a church in Detroit, and the governor cut short his appearance before a group of Baptist pastors.
Snyder spoke briefly at Bethel Baptist Church East and had been taking questions for about 10 minutes when about 50 demonstrators demanded he answer their questions about Public Act 4 and the state's consent agreement with Detroit.
Snyder immediately left the church. Protesters followed outside, carrying signs that read "Stop bullying Detroit" and shouting "cowards" as the governor was whisked away in a black SUV.
The Rev. Charles Williams II, one of the protesters, said he could not understand why Snyder wouldn't answer his questions about the more than 200,000 signatures gathered for a petition drive against Public Act 4, the state law that empowers emergency managers.
