STATE OF DETROIT, MAYOR KILPATRICK DISAPPOINTS, SCANDALS, FAILURES

DETROIT - STATE OF THE CITY, KILPATRICK SCANDALS - DISAPPOINTS
Mar 11, 2008

TONIGHT - THE FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP IN DETROIT, ITS MAYOR KWAME KILPRATICK - SPOKE ABOUT THE STATE OF DETROIT.

EXPECTATIONS OF EXCELLENCE - The Mayor has failed the residents of Detroit, its vistors, BUT not his supporters who gave an embarrassingly long welcoming applause - for a mayor involved in such crimes as, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to obstruct justice, perjury and is probably the subject of FBI investigation involving murder and public corruption.
kilpatrick.....failure on police issues...

* mobile police stations - need to be manned by police officers, they need more officers in the current district stations, not a 'its showtime' mobile police stations. There is a need for police officers in district stations to take reports now - taking more officers and putting in another area - its wrong.
* honor EEOC laws - that detroit has failed since 1974 to do....
* low pay, bad policies need to be addressed: crisnet, reorganization plan
* coleman young always used the police dept to get elected, garner support in troubled times - same strategy
* detroit needs a new outside police chief...best and brightest - not a bobblehead.
* the police districts are too large to properly patrol - need more actual olice stations. $600,000 worth of stolen items from closed police stations.
* detroit needs black role models - the mayor is not one, a failure as a husband, man, political leader.
* the 'haddad memo' confirmed what i have been saying -
* detroit police executive leadership has failed detroit residents visitors not its police officers...

Mayor Kilpatrick has the breeding and the credentials to have been a great mayor - but he failed, he disappointed. He must resign. But he will not because of his EGO and the need for city attorneys to fight the inevitable - his removal from office or his going to jail.

Detroit has a right - to ethical, honest political leadership - Mayor its time to leave.

MAYOR KILPATRICK, RESIGN NOW, LIAR, CHEAT, PERJURER..

"I am on a mission from God," how can Detroiters who have a large illiteracy rate, a large poverty rate, without computers, not able to read newspapers and a dearth of ethical leaders to help guide them through this scandal, be asked to 'demand more'.

Their Mayor has spoken, the Free Press/ media is out to get him and God is on his side
look at the progress Downtown - it must be true. Don't look at the police department with a failed reorganization plan, that shut down 50% of the jail space, spends millions of dollars on unnecessary prisoner medical expenses and has virtually abandoned it police headquarters with no plans for a new jail/medical facility or headquarters. A city council that can't and won't lead and has its own ethical failures. Its school board that has organizational and ethical problems as well.

Those residents that can - have the means to leave, have left, for the suburbs with safe streets and good schools - black and white residents this is not a racial exodus, but a better life exodus.

The Detroit Free Press, Detroit News, TV and radio stations must lead. They must with one voice say: Mayor Kilpatrick - Resign Now....with no equivocations. He and his administration has permanently injured and damaged the City.
