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.
