    LOL It's not like they don't have other things that should be occupying their time than helping out on the railroading of George.

    The Detroit City Council on Tuesday <u>unanimously</u> passed a resolution calling for a federal investigation to see whether civil rights charges are warranted against George Zimmerman, who was acquitted July 13 of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

    The resolution, sponsored by Councilwoman JoAnn Watson, sparked a discussion over the need for city leaders and others to focus more on violence in Detroit.

    “We need to have that same level of outrage with respect to the black-on-black crime that takes place in our community,” Councilman Kenneth Cockrel Jr. said. “How many people were shot — maybe even shot and killed this past weekend in the city — mostly likely by folks who look just like them?”

    Watson said there are many events held regularly to address violence in Detroit. “Because the so-called major media does not cover all of the expressions does not mean it does not happen,” she said. “So that’s not correct.”

  2. Crazy, that story is reminiscence of the also crazy things done by the Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio.

    Delusional maybe? As in they can't face their own problems right there in front of their face.

    Arrogance maybe? As in they actually think their vote means something.

    Distraction maybe? As in they're hoping their mostly black constituents see them towing the race line. Whilst not noticing their city is now bankrupt, thanks to the same city council.

    They really have their priorities royally screwed up. It sounds like the icing on the cake of the Detroit malfeasance by city officials.
