DETROIT - ELLA BULLY CUMMINGS, MUST GO - CLEAN SWEEP

Ella BULLY-Cummings, the Detroit Police Chief, must resign, be fired, or removed from office by the DOJ or FBI.

She has now been tainted and implicated in the sex text message scandal involving Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick and his Chief of Staff Christine Beatty (now resigned). She apparently conspired behing the back of former Police Chief Jeffy Oliver (now resigned) with Christine Beatty and other to undermine Oliver and to make the Detroit Police Internal Affairs Section a politically responsible organ of the Mayor.

Ella has been nothing but a bobble head since her appointment as Chief by Kilpatrick after Oliver resigned. She doesn't appear to have the qualifications to be in charge of a big city police department and after seeing the texts messages and seeing her loyalty to the Mayor - she has forfeited any ethical claim to being Chief of Police.

Her DPD Reorganization Plan is complete failure, that closed police stations - thus closing needed jail space, increased patrol areas, damaged police-community relations, increased police response time, tangled police officers in a crime report system that left them desk bound longer, failed to implement a Verified Response System (for B&E alarms) and has had a continuing revolving door of police executives.

The Board Of Police Commissioners have always failed in their oversight capacity, at least since, Coleman Young became mayor almost 30 years ago. Every police chief since Young has been a failure - because Detrot Mayors have either controlled them or failed to exercise responsibility to remove them when their failures became evident.

Young and his chiefs and Archer with his problem chief and Kilpatrick with another bobble head chief.

Detroit has had a black mayor, black police chiefs and predominately to almost black city council for almost 30 years - now - and an all black school board - and look what we have - failure of leadership, failure of ethics, a city in decline (except for downtown) with a very high crime rate and a high school drop out rate that is appalling and a thorough disgrace.

I have been an outspoken critic of the Detroit Police Dept, its nepotism, croynism and favoritism and failure of this police executives - Detroit Police Officers have not failed its residents or visitors - but its police exectutives, its Mayors, its City Councils and School Board members have.

Its time for a clean sweep. Its time the state and federal government come in and clean house, except that the Governor and Attorney General maybe tainted by Mayor Kilpatrick too.

So its time somebody stepped up and said - I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.

Detroit needs new ethical, professional, honest political leaders and government. --- now.... just do it...

ps...............................................

Stating facts is not race baiting.Archer was a failure as Mayor of Detroit, not as bad as Young or Kilpatrick, but enough to set back Detroit.He had a chance to clean up and improve the Detroit Police Department - He chose Dr. Joe Thomas, Jr of Southfield as Police Chief, but then he got cold feet and then chose Ike McKinnon.

I had great hopes for McKinnon, I offered to help him, but he began to choose old insiders to run the Department - he continued the nepotism, croynism, and favortism that was a cancer on the Department.McKinnon then had an inappropriate sexual affair with a police officer and granted her special favors.

McKinnon then lost control of the Department and allowed the promotional test answers to be given out to his special people. That ruined the lives of hundreds of police officers who passed the test, but lost promotions, pay raises and a better life - when it was found out and the test results nullified.

McKinnon was said to have resigned to become head of MGM Casion security etc etc..but the rumor is the FBI forced him out.

Archer's son was also a problem.

And Detroit's problems grew and grew.Until today - look at Detroit - not a world class city (as Archer wanted) not a great American city - but a city wallowing in scandal, bad city government, and bad schools.
