A hand in a pocket. A red solo cup. A teen out 7 mins past curfew. Detroit cops jumped out on these males for minor reasons. Major violence followed. See what drives 20% of dept shootings in my latest investigation & how 1 caused a family to flee the city freep.com/story/news/investi…

Stopped for a curfew violation, shot by police: When nonviolent stops spiral in Detroit

At least 20% of Detroit police shootings in the past decade started with stops for nonviolent offenses and escalated with foot chases.

Replying to @A2GOV
@A2GOV I will continue to slag you until something is done about the impassable Division St. bike lane between Hoover and Hill. I've called non-emergency dispatch, I've filed A2FixIt complaints. Nothing works, including public humiliation. You've done NOTHING. #a2council

It seems Michigan journalists and pro-transparency lawmakers have failed explaining to the public how FOIA is used to dig up politicians’ dirt. Thousands of us are represented by people who would vote against the public being able to read their emails. detroitnews.com/story/news/p…

GM now floating a full, self-funded RenCen tower demo if it can't get pub $. "The idea of ‘if you don’t go with this, then we’ll just tear it all down’ seems like extortion to me," said a UM prof. New by me: freep.com/story/news/local/m…

‘Extortion’ tactic: GM panned for floating five-tower RenCen demo if tax breaks rejected

The automaker confirms its backup plan after bipartisan pushback against allocating public money for a RenCen revamp.
