@wxyzdetroit: A Highland Park councilman who was charged with refusing to take a breathalyzer after a crash and driving on a suspended license spoke out at a city council meeting this week, saying in part: "make me step down." During the council meeting, a resident criticized Councilman Khursheed Ash-Shafii, saying she was appalled at an interview he did with 7 News Detroit last week where he defended calling police officers "white Nazis." "I feel as what Khursheed did was very impolite and rude, and I think he needs to apologize and step down," she said. Shortly after the public comment portion of the meeting, where council members were each afforded a chance to speak, Ash-Shafii went on a two-minute rant where he said anyone who has a problem with his behaviour should "make me step down." "Anybody who got a problem with me, tough. You want me to move, come move me. I'm sitting right here. I'm going to be here until my term is up or until the Lord calls me back, one of the two," he said. "So anybody that don't like Khursheed Ash-Shafii, that's just tough titties for you, deal with it." He also said that he "loves a good f***ing fight" and then told everyone to have a good night.
