From Fox2 Detroit:
277 homicides / murders - so far 2012
259 homicides / murders - 2011
32 homicides/ murders - 2012, last 15 --15 --15 DAYS !!!!
140 shootings - 32 homicides / murders - 2012, last 15 days...
Detoit maybe the only city to host a Super Bowl (50) and still have two (2) unsolved homicides / murders - and this occured with over 10,000 local, state, and federal law enforcement officers working Super Bowl 50.
The Detroit Police Department has failed to comply with Department of Justice -Consent Decrees, since 2003 - in part because a sexual relationship between felon/x Mayor Kilpatrick and the Kroll Worldwide court monitor, and because the Judge Julian Cook has apparently gone to sleep and failed to do his job of keeping the process going forward.
When will Mayor Bing, City Council members and the powerful black ministers of Detroit get out on their bully pulpits and preach, pray and teach - that using a gun is wrong, and harming the black community and Detroit's image around the country and the world.
The Detroit Police Department is undermanned, morale low, and lacking quality leadership. This must change - Detroit needs a new police chief, a national search for a new nationally respected individual that will come in, clean house and demand more from the Mayor, City Council, the State of Michigan and the Federal Government. Detroit cannot solve its problems with the current political leaders and financial situation.
Detroit needs help and the political leadership of Detroit is too worried about a state takeover - rather than making Public Safety the #1 issue - the #1 concern - saving Detroit residents lives and not Bell Isle.
ps: From - Charlie LeDuff, Fox2 Detroit:
Unfortunately, this doesn't include "justifiables" and reclassifieds...the true number is at least 297.
