"Yeah that makes ZERO sense..." Actually, although it's not a good situation, it makes perfect sense... | ||

So how about sending a team here INSTEAD of one of the other places they were sent, rather than in ADDITION to? Sounds like they're afraid of failure to me. | ||

according to the blog southof8mile, we obviously don't need any federal help, as murders this year are only at approximately 45 or, which puts us at roughly 100 for the year. When compared to over 400 murders last year, that is obviously a huge improvement!! Amazing work by DPD. rise detroit RISE! | ||

Actually, if we were on pace for 100 murders this year, that *would* be a huge improvement, which really would represent amazing work by the DPD, or by someone. Unfortunately, I think your numbers are wrong, I thought it was more like a pace of 300/year, a slight improvement. Even if the murder rate is down, the property crime rate has got to be way up this year, with copper thefts and all. | ||

Detroit does seem to be falling off the list of murders: http://www.philly.com/inquirer /front_page/20070605_Phila__le ads_big_cities_in_murder_rate. html | ||

Yea, that south of 8 Mile blog is on top of the situation, though the stats need to be updated. Hey, south of 8 Mile dude, you got time on your hands to be playing and eating ice creams down by the river but you can't keep the stats current? Let's get with the game plan hoss or I'll be compelled to shave your head with a dull Bic razor and Vicks VapoRub!

Charlottepaul, I wonder if Detroit wasn't included in the statistics because it fell short of 1,000,000. Las vegas is included, but Chicago is not as well. Strange. Sorry, I didn't read further into it. Detroit is mentioned as very violent city, just in the smaller city category. (Message edited by hans57 on June 15, 2007) |
