BIRMINGHAM, Mich. (AP) -- Detroit Mayor Dave Bing said Thursday the city has no answer to the recent spike in violence that has left at least 12 people dead, including a patrolman, two teenage boys, a grandmother, the adult son of another police officer, and a 7-year-old girl.

Another example of the people’s paradise you get with generations of leftist government.
When was the last time they had a conservative mayor and a conservative council?
Easy solution - kill the killers; on sight.
End the welfare state. That’s how.
SUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE he does.
More gun controls (sarcasm).
Can’t make any arrests, though, as you’ll be accused of “racial profiling”.....
If the feds would only arrest more militia members, I’m sure all Detroit’s problems would disappear. What, the “right wing fanatics” aren’t Detroit’s problem? Imagine that.
Accountability is the answer. Citizens don’t hold their officials accountable. Worse yet, citizens don’t hold other citizens accountable.
This is what you get when children grow up to be adult-aged children. It’s a state of people who can’t problem solve or handle the hard questions.
Having abandoned all reason in the name of political correctness, the chickens, as Rev. Wright would say, are coming home to roost. Detroit may be the first place that the liberals come close to admitting that what’s wrong with this country is them!
Detroit, Africa in microcosm.
"Re-elect me because... uh... sh*t, I don't know...! Oh, yeah -- re-elect me because there ain't nobody else wanna be mayor!"
Detroit can start reducing shootings of innocents by locking their SWAT team up in jail.
Amen, Brother...Amen!
Nuke the site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.
Mayor Bing is an honorable man, conservative in many ways. The mess in Detroit was caused long before he came into office.
"Outside of da killin's, crime ain't so bad here in D.C." -- Marion Barry
Dave, it's simple -- do what the rest of 'em do: Blame Bush!
There are methods that could be tried. Has Bing bothered to talk yet with Rudy Giuliani, whose administration drastically turned around an erstwhile "ungovernable" New York?
Try giving criminals a stern look and wag your finger and blame their actions on rich white people
From what I can glean, that is true.
The mental sickness of Democrats is primarily in the Congress and Legislatures, where they are careerist yes-men to be extorted and manipulated, i.e. the LEFT.
An executive position is a different story. Dave Bing was a successful business leader and innovator. Best of hope for Dave Bing.
