Bankrupt Detroit’s City Council Passes Resolution Demanding Federal Investigation…Of George Zimmerman

As if the city of Detroit doesn't have enough to worry about right now with the Bankruptcy looming and the plague of violence and drugs. Now they want to stick their noses into an issue where they just do not belong. The Detroit city council and city government is and has been so screwed up they are mostly responsible for the city being in the condition it is. I live near Detroit and I love that city. It is very sad to see how much worse it is now than when I was a kid; and the city was already in decline before my birth. In my opinion it is the unions that forced labor costs so high that all of the manufacturers including the automakers have outsourced so much of the manufacturing to other countries and places where labor costs are much cheaper. If you drive an American car look at your factory stickers sometime. Chances are it was assembled in Mexico with parts made from all over the world.

The Detroit City Council on Tuesday unanimously 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.”
