Detroit racks up eight killings, 33 shootings in last five days
Even in one of the most violent cities in the United States, the past five days have been abnormally bloody.
There have been 8 homicides and 33 nonfatal shootings in Detroit over the past five days, and Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee acknowledged today that those numbers are higher than normal.
"We're swimming upstream from a violent crime standpoint," Godbee said. "As quickly as we arrest (criminals), someone commits another crime."
With crime dominating the local headlines and budget cuts looming, the Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown, a former police officer, is suggesting restructuring the city's police department
"As a citizen, I am concerned like you," Brown wrote in an email to the media this morning. "My family lives here, too. My son is raising his family here. Both my daughters also work in the city. But my primary concern stems as to why the police department has not yet restructured."
Brown, a former deputy chief in the department, said downtown Detroit is the "safest area of any part of the region per capita, according to FBI crime data. Beyond this point, the crime rate in downtown Detroit is 37 percent less than the national average."
"The crime affecting our neighborhoods is fixable," Brown said. Link to full story
