So this may be a typical cover up by the leadership of a major US city; in this case the City of of Detroit. Only the mayor was listed but not the two other men that restrained the mayors wife nor how many persons of interest where in at the party to include the protective detail of the mayor. to say more would be mass speculation of who was at said party. However, with the time age of incident and the complaint but the clerk make me believe that is will continue to be stonewalled by Detroit until the state and federal investigation begins. This may be tried under loss of civil rights charges.

This is just the very latest in an intricate scandal involving the mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick. It came out on the 6:00 news tonight. The mayor has always denied this party took place, and now a retired clerk from the Detroit PD has sworn this affidavit stating the party did in fact take place at the mayor's mansion. The subject dancer was killed in a drive by shooting 6 months after the party and the police dept. covered it up. The dancer was shot 18 times with a 40 mm Glock, which is DPD issued, and not usually used by street gangs. It came out in the text messages that revealed an affair the mayor had with his chief of staff. Two police officers were fired for trying to investigate this, but they sued the city and won $9 million dollars. The trial was last fall.

Over the weekend, the Detroit Free Press published text messages between Kwame, his chief of staff and their mutual friend who owns a contracting firm, that implicates all three of them in a scam to award contracts to the friend. Many of these projects were federally funded, so the feds are investigating, too.
