Is the Mayor/Beatty going to lose representation and legal advice from the law department?
PO John Bennett was suspended 5 yrs without pay and benefits - facing no criminal charges - but merely for his free speech conduct. He was not able to use the law dept
attorney's..
I was suspended and lost 6 days pay and benefits - facing no criminal charges - but merely for speaking to Chl 4 about the Beatty traffic stop. I was not represented by the law dept.
Numerous police officers (4th Precinct) were suspended without pay and benefits were
suspended without pay and benefits - after being charged in narcotic related issues. They
were denied legal representation by the Law Dept - by City Council.
It's not fair, that the Mayor and Beatty receive legal representation and advice by the Law Dept - after being charged with criminal charges - Is It?
The Mayor has assembled his own legal dream team - but is the Law Dept available to him and his dream team? If so its not fair.
The Detroit City Council should examine these issues and suspend the Mayor's pay and benefits - and any legal representation or advice by the Law Dept
They should enforce this by ordering - the City Treasurer - not to sign any paychecks for the Mayor - and forbid the Law Dept from aiding a criminally charge Mayor/Beatty.
The Mayor if 'vindicated' has legal recourse to recover his pay and benefits, later - as police officers are forced to do....

Here here. When is it going to stop? When will he step down and stop embarrassing the city?
The incontrovertible fact is that he (and Beatty) committed perjury. I know he's entitled to a fair trial and all that, but you make an excellent point. Give him administrative leave without pay, and if he is cleared, he can go through proper channels to get backpay and benefits.
Or better yet, he should man up and resign. I feel sorry for his children - they have a REALLY poor role model.
And I had such hopes for this promising young "star" when he was elected, but at that time I didn't know he was "groomed" by Coleman. We need to stop the corruption. Detroit was run into the ground for decades by Coleman.
And while Kilpatrick has done some good things for the neighborhoods, his feeling of entitlement and "untouchability" has cost the city millions of dollars, and not just in the whistleblower lawsuit.
Resign, Mr. Kilpatrick, PLEASE!
