Encouraging on the face of it. However, my first inclination is to want to compare the decrease in violence with a change in the population resulting from desertion of its working citizens as a result of the financial bankruptcy problems. Couple this with what I’d expect of a relocation of those citizens disposed so regarding entitlements, etc. to newer, better pastures and this might not be such a victory at all.

Less available victims - less crime.

All of the credit goes to the new top cop, James Craig, who came back to his home town to restore order ...

One problem I have with the "justifiable homicide" designation is that they're counted as a homicide even though no actual crime was committed. They are then counted as a homicide when they shouldn't be counted as a crime at all.

There has been a spike in crime over the past 6 weeks or so but I attribute that to the general unrest driven by the democrats. There has been no major protesting like NY or LA.

This is another sign that Detroit is at the beginning of pulling itself out of its collectivist funk.

Could it also be less because there is no one left? I thought I turned the lights off when I left.

I bet if Detroit would do what Kennesaw, GA did back in 1982, by requiring all heads of households residing within its city limits to own a firearm, the violent crime rate would drop even further!
