Detroit has a white mayor now.
Yep.
or into the pay-for-punditry bidness....
Good work if you can get it. Shoot your mouth off and get paid.
That’s great, Cripplecreek :) Color shouldn’t make a difference. Detroit has about 65% black officers on their force. Sadly, Detroit shares the honor with New Orleans as having the highest crime rates in the nation. Replacing white or hispanic or asian officers with black “we-demand-a-daddy-substitute” officers just doesn’t seem to have worked out as a real solution to reducing crime; crime is going to happen regardless of the color of the officer patrolling the street.
Actually Detroit’s murder rate is down some 30% from last year. It makes a difference to have an armed population and a police chief who encourages it.
Detroit journalist Charlie LeDuff is a white guy who walks the toughest Detroit neighborhoods without fear is in Ferguson and says the place scares him and more are going to die before this is over. He even had a guy take a swipe at him with a knife last night.
Really?
I’d wear a white toga and a pillow case, with slits in em ...so I can see...
Hell, there’s a country that is majority white and they voted a black guy in as president. ..
The minority population of Pittsburgh, PA demanded that the leftist city council give them a black police chief. They did. He’s now in jail for a long time for public corruption and stealing tax payer money.
Sounds like a happy place filled with harmony, brotherly love and nothing but post-racial good tidings for all.
Ah the accordion, I felt like I was forgetting something.
“Hell, there’s a country that is majority white and they voted a black guy in as president. ..”
Yeah. What a pack of moe-rons.
Good point. I cannot believe the number of people on FR who are backing the leftist, rioting thugs of Ferguson. It seems to me that “Saint” Mike got what was coming to him.
On Monday we will know every aspect of that individual's life, including his mother not making cookies for her son to take to his second grade class........
We now know more about Darren Wilson in the past two days than B. Hussein Obama in the past 20 years of his lackluster political career.........
Go figure.......
Here we go, another former ‘expert’ police chief fault finding. Working for Charlie Crist tells me everything I need to know about him.
We used dogs at riots and on crowds for years to great effect. Same department still does, and I suspect so do many others.
Chief Obvious then tells us that problems have been simmering before the shooting? Sheer genius.
