    Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, here! (none / 0) (#7)

    Panhandlers are a royal pain the the you-know-where in the P.R.o.D. I've dealt with them more than a few times myself, and didn't need to be a tool to others in the process.

    How these two officers reacted to that situation on Jefferson is indefensible.

    But, before you toss the entire Detroit Police Department under the bus, take a gander and the clip below.

    Also keep this in mind: the reporter has to wear body armor (this ain't Iraq), something is very seriously wrong here!

    When a city government sends out people without even the most basic resources to do their jobs (i.e. radios, computers, even jail space), this is downright criminal.

    One last thing, I know that this is a relatively long clip, but I recommend watching the entire thing. I've written more than a few posts blasting what passes for local government there. But, the part at the 5:00 mark should be especially telling that Detroit isn't a total loss.
