George Cushingberry, Jr should resign...from Detroit City Council
George Cushingberry Jr, was stopped by Detroit Police Officers, and their are three versions of the event - including: location, police chase, contents of the car, but he has charged 'police profiling'...there is agreement that their was a stong odor of marijuana (from a friend in the car with a marijuana medical card)...
"Profiling"...yet the officers (one who may have been black) 'were so far behind him that they couldn't have seen if he was using a turn signal' - then they would be to far behind to profile the driver or any passengers !!!
Cushingberry is a 'stink bomb' on the Council waiting to go off - and he maybe sizzling with his 'go to to he...ll' (Detroit News statement) and now this traffic incident.
If their was a delay in confronting Cushingberry, by the officers - it could have been they were waiting on a response from their computer, with information about the car and license plate, and / or they were contacting dispatch, informing them - of the situation. Detroit Police officers should not be denigrated for doing their jobs.
The Detroit City Council needs to be a hard working exemplary group, working together to 'move Detroit forward' - already Cushingberry is a bad distraction - and its only going to get worse...
Council member Jenkins had every right, when asked for a comment to give one - and she would have made a better Detroit City Council President than Brenda Jones.
PC Craig needs to get the investigation - correct - he cannot be seen as giving special favors to politicians, and neither should the Detroit Police Department
Detroit Police officers don't need another Detroit 'political leader ?' creating a controversy over their actions - we are in Bankruptcy and are being offered 17c on the dollar to take away our health benefits. DPD have suffered pay cuts, poor equipment, poor training and poor executive leadership for years upon years. Newly appointed Police Chief James Craig, had spent months correcting the mistakes and errors of previous police chiefs and is trying to put DPD on the right path to fight crime - Detroit, the Chief and the Department do not need Cushingberry, acting badly and then trying to shame DPD...The TRUTH must be told and if Cushingberry was wrong - then he should accept responsibilty and apologize and change his behavior patterns.
