DETROIT, KILPATRICK IN JAIL, NOT REMORSEFUL, NOT A VICTIM, A CRIMINAL

kilpatrick - former mayor of detroit - after watching the over two hour sentencing hearing - observations..

arrogant, smug, unremorseful....the mayor is in denial of his actions and the consequences of it.........he us unbowed.. he seemed desperate to rant at the judge - but finally agreed with his attorney - to stay silent, for his own good, but not really understanding his mouth would have gotten him in deeper.

he and his wife set a poor example for the public and young people...struggling to understand the significance of this situation....

the mayors father - defending his son how - disgusting and offensive - when he stands in the shadow of his potential prosecution - he should have intervened and properly advised his son.
malik shabazz - racism lives...kilpatrick is not a victim - misplaced and not appropriate in kilpatrick's case, the angry statements should have been directed at kilpatrick, so that detroit's youth - know that if you do the crime - you have to pay the time...crime doesn't pay or deserve - sympathy..

a police officer doesn't need a gun to their head to feel fear...its the situations that you know how you should react and act and can't that are most scary...the mayor doesn't understand that and i think the public doesn't either...white and kinney made truthful statements about their encounter with the mayor...a lot of people just cant understand it - only persons put in a situation like that can understand....

remember Marion Berry - Kilpatrick will return - people will forget, forgive and not remember the actions and legacy of this sad chapter in detroit history...

sadly today is NOT the end of this chapter in detroit history...more is coming to damage the city and its reputation...

this is not over - remember Tamara Greene / Manoogian Mansion party....

KILPATRICK=POLICE OFFICERS?? WORTHY-BEATTY, DETROIT SCANDALS

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....

MAYOR KILPATRICK SCANDAL, BEWARE DETROIT & MICHIGAN

BEWARE: Michigan legislators and business leaders, the Mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick, has been publicly ensnared in a sex, lies (perjury) text messaging scandal that he and his supporters say, he can recover from, but has implications state wide.

Mayor Kilpatrick's 'urban legend' discounted by Michigan Attorney General Michel Cox, who state police investigators have testified to - that he obstructed their investigation - was a bachelor party at the Manogian Mansion, home of Detroit's Mayor's, in which Kilpatrick's wife, Carlita, was alleged to have feloniously assaulted an exotic dancer / stripper by the name of Tamara Greene, who was later murdered in a drive by shooting, after telling people she danced at the Mayor's party.

Their was an alleged cover up, that now includes the Governor, Jennifer Granholm, the Attorney General, the Mayor and members of his administration including two police chiefs.Some people believe that the Governor, the Mayor conspired with Mike Cox to cover up the party, with Cox getting a weak opponent and no mention of his infidelity, in his reelection race.

Attorney Norman Yatooma, has filed a $150 million dollar lawsuit, against the City of Detroit, that now again includes the Mayor, his sex partner/chief of staff Christine Beatty, body guards, and other administration members. Yatooma has requested the text messages, emails, voicemails etc of 34 people including the Mayor, security guards (some of whom may have committed fraud in getting hundreds of hours of unearned overtime), police chiefs, and homicide investigators.

The Mayor's troubles are larger than perjury and everyone should look at the big picture and take action to protect the state and Detroit. Detroit has had ethical failures of leadership and poor leadership since, Mayor Coleman Young, including city council members and school board members. Detroit faces maybe its greatest test, now - don't be surprised if it ends badly. David L. Malhalab.

ps. Gary Brown, fired for investigating the Mayor and his bodyguards, (Whistleblowers lawsuit said last night (2-27-08), on Chl 7, that there was enough information in his investigation, to believe that the Manogian Mansion party occured, and that needs further investigation. He said there was not enough information, to believe that the Mayor, his bodyguards were involved in the murder of Tamara Greene, that needs further investigation
