NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION - JUST SAY - YES - ASSAULT WEAPON BAN

Rochelle Riley: Loss in the war on guns costs everyone | freep.com | Detroit Free Press

There is no War on Guns...if so the NRA would be spending millions of dollars trying to prevent the War...depicting President Obama as an anti-American whatever, who doesn't
believe in the Constitution ...doesn't want citizens to protect themselves - from big government - let alone your neighbor (who might be white, black, brown, yellow, gay - or an alien).

People of all races are racing to buy guns - to buy bullets (that are in short supply - now) for the coming War on Guns...that President Obama as a black president will surely propose.

But what we have now is an Arms Race - the more guns you have the safer you are ....but that isn't true - 25,000 Mexicans have been killed by guns purchased in the US Southwest states and smuggled over the border - because owning a gun larger that a .38 caliber is considered a military weapon, in Mexico.

The Mexican drug cartels, Mexican gangsters have to protect themselves from the big Mexican government that is trying to eradicate them. The cartels are killing, men, women, children, musicians, politicians, judges, police officers, soldiers, anyone that stands between them and their next drug deal, and US gun dealers are aiding and abetting the cartels, apparently with no remorse, conscience or regrets - because the bottom lines is that selling guns to the Mexicans is highly highly profitable....

President Obama has enough on his agenda...but an assault weapons ban and strict enforcement of gun laws in the Southwest would provoke a fire storm of discontent - that may undermine his efforts..but it is something that Congress - must take up on their own and face down the National Rifle Association, during an election year, to save lives US and Mexican lives - The NRA should no longer be the most powerful lobby in the US - and people should no longer be allowed to buy an AK-47 or FN 5.7 (cop killer gun) and we must change the culture in America - that owning guns is a birthright - this is not 1776, the British and Indians have been defeated.

PO Huff was lost because of a 'ARMS RACE' and loose and easy access to guns (and not enough Detroit jail space)...no 10 year should have to again hear that 'dad isn't coming home' because Congress fails in its responsibility to stand up to the NRA.

DETROIT - MAYOR, POLICE CHIEF, MINISTERS, STAND UP TO VIOLENCE

A 19 yrs old college student was killed and the CODE is SHUSH....as a man on Chl 4 puts a finger over his lips....Don't Snitch and people continue to die - and killers continue to walk free among us...laughing and smirking - believing what a Mayor spewed out..repeated by ineffective leaders, needing to get elected, to maintain their pulpits, to keep their 'street creds'

No one knows a thing...didn't see a thing...wont say a thing.....

A legacy of Mayor Coleman Young continues - reinforced by Ron Scott (Comm Against Police Brutality)...and others who have been conditioned Detroit residents to see the Detroit Police as a "white army of occupation" - 'the man'...a danger to you and your friends - thugs in uniform...on and on....with Detroit leaders standing silent as the Code is observed.

PC Evans is standing up and speaking out...break the code, stop the murders - but after years and years of official acceptance - the perception lives on. He needs help - ministers and community leaders must stand up from their pulpits and on the street corners and say - Speak Up, put murders, robbers and rapists in jail! Black power shouldn't mean you rob your black neighbors, kill and rape your brothers and sisters, and grandfathers.

Detroit has had a black Mayor and numerous Police Chiefs since 1973 (36 years - 36) - now its police force (after official white applicant discrimination) is reportedly 73% black and the murders continue, the Code still lives - what have we gained with the spewing of negative police comments - nothing. The community because of its silent ineffective leaders still believe police officers (who now reflect their color) are still an 'army of occupation' - not protectors of your sons and daughters, your mothers and fathers, your grandparents, your friends, school mates....

Detroit now is the time to change your attitude - now is the time to rally behind you under staffed police officers and stop the killings, the robberies and rapes - They want to protect you but can't do it alone in a vacuum - they need your eyes and voice - Speak Up.

Now is the time for the Detroit Police Dept to stand up and reorganize itself into a model Department, with supervisors that have the intelligence, honesty and devotion to 'do the right thing' by Detroit residents - protect them. Stop the nepotism, favoritism, cronyism.

Now is the time for the Mayor and City Council to Stand Up and Speak Up use your media contacts, get some real credit by saying - we need to help the police and work with them to stop the violence and to make our city streets and schools safe - for everyone.

CRIME IN DETROIT - STOLEN DETROIT TIGER STADIUM ITEMS, MIKE ILITCH IS RESPONSIBLE

DETROIT TIGERS STADIUM UNIQUE AND RARE ITEMS GAME USED! - eBay (item 250255743164 end time Jun-11-08 17:49:57 PDT)

The above is a link to a current Ebay auction of stolen items from historic Detroit Tiger Stadium in 2000.

Mike Ilitch was receiving $400,000. a year to maintain (as it was in 1999) and to provide security for historic Detroit Tiger Stadium. Obviously from the auction site, and from the general look of Tiger Stadium - now - Ilitch looks like he didn't spend a dime of the nearly, $2 - $12 million dollars he got from Detroit, a financailly ailing city.

While we celebrate the Red Wings Stanley Cup victory - remember the millions of dollars he has gotten from the City - for Tiger Stadium, with no obvious accountabilty! No one is above the law - Adolph Albert Taubman the billionaire went to jail - Shouldn't Mike Ilitch??

It seems to be a felony crime that the City is allowing to go unpunished. Ken Cockrel, Jr. told me that he believes that "Ilitch owes us the money" and that " I'll do whatever necessary to get it back" that was over at least a year ago, and he still has done nothing. Councilwoman Joanne Watson has also said, that she believes Ilitch owes the City money for Tiger Stadium. Why? is the Council so slow to recover millions of dollars - especially when Detroit has a deficit?? Do they worship Ilitch or are they afraid of him?

The Packard plant is litterally failing onto the streets of Detroit, the Train Station looms as a ominus tombstone over Detroit - there are dozens of abandon buildings throughout Detroit that are a danger to the public and have better economic locations for business- but there is no rush to demolish them. Why? the rush to demolish Tiger Stadium.

Legitimate proposals by upstanding businessmen were offered to use Tiger Stadium as a money making entertainment facility since 1999, those offers were ignored, dismissed or discouraged - there was no legitimate offer that the City would accept. Detroit has lost millions and millions of dollars - $$$$$$$, Why? There needs to be a criminal investigation.

George Jackson and members of the Detroit Economic Development Corporation have lied to the Corktown residents, the Detroit City Planning Commission, the residents of Detroit and Michigan. And yet the DEGC is getting its way - with the demolition of Tiger Stadium.

Detroit recieved about $300,000 for items sold at auction from Tiger Stadium - although no public final accounting has been released. That means that possibly millions of dollars worth of items were stolen from Tiger Stadium - in the manner described in the Ebay auction - and Ilitch should be held accountable for that.

There needs to be an investigation by the Detroit City Council, the Michigan State Police and the FBI into what public corruption was involved in the 'demolition by neglect' of Tiger Stadium and Why the City has lost millions of dollars for the use of Tiger Stadium since 1999, and the theft of items from Tiger Stadium, including the Historical Marker. The investigation must include Mike Ilitch, the DEGC and the Mayor.

Contact members of the Detroit City Council: Ken Cockrel (313 224 4505), Monica Conyers (313 224 4530), Sheila Cockrel (313 224 1337), Martha Reeves (313 224 4510), Joann Watson (313 224 4536), Kwame Kenyatta (313 224 1198), Brenda Jones (313 224 1245), Barbara Rose Collins (313 224 1298), Alberta Tinsley-Talabi (313 224 1645). It is still not to late to preserve what is left of Tiger Stadium and to restore it to a viable entertainment facility - that it should have been since 1999. Call today...everyday..

DETROIT POLICE NEEDS: LEADERSHIP, MOMA KILPATRICK AND MAYOR HAVE FAILED DETROIT RESIDENTS.

DETROIT POLICE NEEDS: MONEY, LEADERSHIP, MOMA AND SON KILPATRICK HAVE FAILED DETROIT RESIDENTS
Dec 26, 2007 11:48 PMCategory: News

The Detroit Police Department is now running double-digit cars in the police districts over the holidays in answer to the rising crime. Officers are working numerous hours of overtime. This latest smoke and mirrors increase in overtime will only last until January 3rd.

Michigan's Self-Defense Act: The law allows people to use deadly force, with no duty to retreat, if they reasonably think they face imminent death, great bodily harm or sexual assault. You can use deadly force anywhere you have a legal right to be.To clarify:Carjackings, Break-ins and other potentially violent crimes, even those that occur away from your home, you can defend yourself or love ones. If you are eligible you should consider a CCW permit or some form of home protection. If don't know a personal trainer we will recommend one for you.

I HAVE SAID IN THE PAST THAT DPD USES SMOKE AND MIRRORS TO MAKE RESIDENTS BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE BEING PROTECTED..

DPD SHOULD HAVE ADOPTED A 'VERIFIED RESPONSE SYSTEM' FOR B&E ALARMS...TO FREE UP POLICE OFFICERS TO RESPOND, IN A TIMELY MANNER, TO CRIMES IN PROGRESS..OR TO PATROL IN AN ATTEMPT TO DETER CRIME..

DPD NEEDS TO GET A NEW CRIME REPORT SYSTEM - CRISNET IS A FAILURE..(HADDAD MEMO)

DPD NEEDS A NEW JAIL/MEDICAL FACILITY - NOW.. A NEW POLICE HQ, NOW...
A NEW NATIONALLY RESPECTED POLICE CHIEF - NOW....

AND MORE MONEY FROM CONGRESS / MOMA KILPATRICK - WHERE ARE YOU?..SHE HAS FAILED DETROIT. DAVID
**************************************************************
READ MY LAST POST..(8TH PRECINCT)..
IN FACT READ ALL OF THEM.

MAYOR COLEMAN YOUNG IN HIS ANTI-POLICE, ANTI -WHITE COMMENTS, CREATED A FEAR AMONG DETROITERS OF THE POLICE AND NOURISHED A CULTURE OF HATRED AND DISRESPECT. HE COULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT MAYOR, BUT GAVE INTO DIVIDING AND NOT UNITING.

HIS POOR SELECTION OF POLICE CHIEFS', DENNIS ARCHER'S POOR POLICE CHIEF CHOICES AND KILPATRICK'S DISASTOROUS CHOICES AND - ELLA BULLY-cUMMINGS HAVE LEFT DETROIT WITH POOR EXECUTIVE POLICE LEADERSHIP.

INDEED THE DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS ALMOST CONTINUALLY VIOLATED FEDERAL EEOC LAWS -IN HIRING FOR THE DEPARTMENT (DOCUMENTED NOW BY FEDERAL COURT SINCE 1974), AND I SUSPECT FOR ALL CITY DEPARTMENTS.

DETROIT HAS POOR QUALITY POLITICAL LEADERSHIP AND ETHICALLY DEFICIENT MAYOR - CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD.

ALWAYS REMEMBER - DETROIT POLICE OFFICERS BLACK AND WHITE - HAVE NOT FAILED DETROIT RESIDENTS, BUT ITS POLICE AND POLITICAL LEADERS HAVE - AND ITS DOCUMENTED.
DETROIT RESIDENTS DESERVE BETTER - NOW ...DLM

DANGEROUS DETROIT POLICE STATION - VACANT AND OPEN TO TRESPASS..$$$$ WASTED - STOLEN

Danger.....clear and present ...Danger...

The 8th police precinct bldg is a clear and present danger to Detroit school children and residents. It is in much worse shape than reported by Florence Walton of WWJ radio. There are broken windows with jagged pieces of glass ready to fall on anyone looking or going inside... the front doorway of the 8th precinct is open to trespass as is windows that are broken out - that can also provide entrance to the bldg..that appears ransacked....police paperwork is strewn in the lobby...the second floor detective bureau windows are broken out.. as is virtually every window in the precincts garage...desks - tables - typewriters are have been tipped over - collecting dust and surely vermin lurk in this place of refuge for them...any person - child - malcontent who has a grudge against police can go in and get a modicum of revenge ...glass can fall and kill a child,in a second or they could slip and fall inside - die - and no one would know...

This did not happen overnight or within the last week...has no city employee or city official noticed the continuing damage and desecration of this place that provided work and safe haven for Detroit residents and visitors...

The Mayor and Police Chief need to be halled into Blight Court, fined and made to be locked up in the closed jail cells and made to serve their time there...where prisoners no longer are held - where citizen groups no longer meet, where police officers no longer work to protect residents and visitors...where detectives no longer work to solve crimes and work to prevent crimes...where frightened victims of crime can seek refuge and help...

Detroit deserves its ranking as 'thee #1 most dangerous city in America' because the Mayor and Police Chief closed police precincts - doubled up police officers in police stations not designed or capable of holding twice the number of police and their equipment...of closing jail cells - so that police officers can not lock up some criminals (and criminals know that)...of leaving police stations open to trespass and destruction...the DOJ (is a convenient excuse - for jail closings) but tell that to a victim - violated by a criminal who should be in a city jail, but who roams free..free to commit crimes because their is no space at the 'police district lock ups'....and because the patrol areas are too large to properly and timely patrol and respond to a call for help...or to catch a thief, murderer, robber or rapists...

We have seen jail cell bars strewn on a vacant lot - as the 5th precinct was torn down - no more jail cells to hold prisoners. The 13th precinct will become a restaurant (?) as if Detroit had too many jail cells and tooooo few criminals / prisoners. This is the state of the Detroit Police Department - which for years I have tried to get the media to investigate these conditions - and which they have turned a blind eye, voice and ear...where have all the muck raking, investigative journalists gone - gone far away from Detroit... reportedly 35% percent of news is not reported because it will hurt the 'bottom line' - the revenue of a news agency - what a disgrace...

Detroit has been hurt by its political leadership and its blind, deaf and dumb news reporters...Its time things change....NOW IS THE TIME...TO DO THE RIGHT THING... David L. Malhalab Sgt...DPD..Retired

ps...safety of Detroit residents and visitors should be a concern of all suburban cities - for crime no longer knows or recognizes boundaries...safety in Detroit can lead to safety in the suburbs....

MAYOR KILPATRICK - GUILTY - RESIGN NOW

The verdict in the whistle blower case against the City and Mayor Kilpatrick shows the cesspool of corruption in the Detroit political leadership from the mayor, city council to school board continues - starting with Coleman Young and continuing today.

Detroit needs new political leadership ...now...and a new police chief not tied to the mayor...residents, visitors and Detroit police officers need to know that the Police Department is led by executives who make the best decisions to protect them - not political decisions.

Mayor Kilpatrick says we (Detroit) doesn't have the money to pay the judgement in the Brown / Neglthorpe lawsuit...BUT..... the City had $7million dollars to pave 10 acres of Belle Isle...and untold millions of $$$$ more for improvements of Belle Isle for the Grand Prix.

Kilpatrick should have friends and family pay the entire award...He has betrayed his oath of office and disgraced Detroit, not to mention allegations of criminal behavior that haven't been resolved - and no should be..now... Call the Detroit City Council (313 224 4500) and tell them to have Kilpatrick pay - and to stop any costly appeals.

Detroit needs new ethical political leadership...now...........david malhalab
