		<title>Comment on TELL ORR, DETROIT CREDITORS: STOP DEBT SERVICE TO BANKS; RALLY FRI. JUNE 14, 9 A.M. by Diane Bukowski</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Look first at the photograph of representatives from Standard and Poor&#039;s and Fitch Ratings at the Detroit City Council table in 2005, pushing for approval of the $1.5 BILLION pension obligation certificates (POC) loan from UBS AG and SBS Financial to Detroit. a chief cause of the city&#039;s current crisis. If you put &quot;banks&quot; in the site&#039;s search engine, you will bring up numerous other stories, including a link to the stories I wrote in the Michigan Citizen at the time of the POC loan. That story says both Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and the ratings agencies threatened lay-offs and service cutbacks, and downgrading of the city&#039;s debt, if the loan was not approved. In fact, they did it anyway AFTER it was approved over the objections of the pension boards, unions, and citizens. This was part of the predatory lending tidal wave that swamped the U.S. and other countries prior to the 2008 economic collapse. THe city defaulted twice on that loan when Wall Street &quot;went south&quot; as a Councilmember warned during consideration of the loan. Even Bloomberg Businessweek ran an article saying, &quot;Only Wall Street profits from Detroit crisis,&quot; noting that loan as well as $474 million in predatory charges for swaps and other maneuvers. Other stories on this site say S&amp;P has been charged with fraud by the U.S. Department of Justice for conspiring with the banks it rates, and that UBS AG was fined $1.5 billion by the USDOJ for fraudulent practices. Saying the banks didn&#039;t hold a gun to the city&#039;s head is like saying they didn&#039;t hold a gun to the head of homeowners who were victimized by predatory sub-prime loans, and blaming the victim instead of the perpetrator. Wall Street profited enormously from these loans, both legally and illegally, and has not been held to account through criminal charges in this country to this day.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have worked in the financial industry for many years, however, not with any of the banks or companies that you listed in this article.  My question to the protesters in this article is &quot;How did the financiers force Detroit to borrow these large amounts of money?   Did any  of the financial groups put a gun to the head of the city leaders, and force them to borrow?&quot;   City officials frantically searched the financial markets to obtain funds.  My belief is that, based on the financial parameters of Detroit,  funds with these specific terms were the only method that the financial agents would accept.

		<description><![CDATA[This child killer will walk because he is a cop. This society is disgusting. He deserves the same sentence any other person on the street would get for MURDERING a child. He was amped up because he was on TV and wanted to be a hero to America, he saw something moving under the sheets and he shot first with intent to ask questions later. Police in America are pathetic. This CHILD MURDERER better be sent to prison.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;d like to ask you about writing an article on your website. I have an idea that would improve education in Detroit public schools. I call it &#039;Labor Education&#039;. The idea of labor education involves teaching students a course in labor politics. The course would also include a brief history of the labor movement. I think Labor Education should be mandatory for all students in Detroit public high schools.

In a class in Labor Education, the students will learn that when they graduate from high school, they may get a job in a non-union shop. If they work in a non-union shop, they may be treated unfairly, and their rights may be violated. Classroom instruction in Labor Education would teach students the basics of labor unions, it would teach them the basics of union organizing drives, so they would be motivated to join unions, as soon as they graduated from high school, and got jobs.

Do you think the Republicans would oppose this idea? Where do you stand on this issue? Does &#039;Voice Of Detroit&#039; have a policy on Labor Education, of do you wish to treat it like a non-issue?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OVERACTING AND OVER REACHING AND WILL GET WORSE POLICE BRUTALITY


Over-acting over-reaching gun happy police officers is what American has train police officers to be. Firing upwards of 50 to 100 bullets at a unarmed human being is normal practice for many police officers in America! Especially if the person being shot at is black! Police supervisor and the American court system are more likely then not to side with abusive and over-acting police officers! Police brutality is normal in American usually never address or corrected. In many cases it’s encourage! With the new Stop &amp; frisk Laws in many city. Young black children as young as 8 years old are made to drop their trouser and take off their shoes in full view of the public. Adult men are pad search by female officer to further humiliate. Many times handcuffed and made to sit or laid on the ground. Without care of the element snow, rain mud there have been incident where citizen are made to sit in dog mess! 


Plainclothes officers “SHOULD NOT” be permitted to stop a citizen on the street or home with out a uniform officer approaching first! In the times we are living in plainclothes police officers jumping out a un-mark car....Is a gang with guns or a robber or rapist in the eyes of a citizen! After the plainclothes NYPD officers murdered “UNARMED” and totally innocent of any crime Mr. Diallo ! Who saw four white men chasing him with guns...Politician and or law enforcement should “STOP” plainclothes officers!

Amadou Bailo Diallo  was a  black 23-year-old Guinean immigrant in New York City who was shot and killed on February 4, 1999 by four white NYPD plain-clothed officers: Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon and Kenneth Boss. The four officers fired a total of 41 shots at a totally innocent and unarmed Diallo. The Sean Bell shooting incident took place in the New York City borough of Queens, New York, United States on November 25, 2006, when three men were shot at a total of fifty times by a team of both plainclothes and undercover NYPD officers, killing one of the men, Sean Bell, on the morning before his wedding. None of the men were armed! Kathryn Johnston 92 years old was an elderly Atlanta, Georgia woman who was shot by 3 white undercover police officers in her home on Neal Street in northwest Atlanta on November 21, 2006, where she had lived for 17 years. Three officers had entered her home in what was later described as a &#039;botched&#039; drug raid

Police officers learn early in their career that their abusive action are many time laugh at and part of entertainment. As they return to their police departments and tell their stories of abuse! Shari Archibald’s black handbag sat at her feet on the sidewalk in front of her Bronx home on a recent summer night. The two male officers crouched over her leather bag and rooted around inside, elbow-deep. One officer fished out a tampon and then a sanitary napkin, crinkling the waxy orange wrapper between his fingers in search of drugs. Next he pulled out a tray of foil-covered pills, Ms. Archibald recalled. What’s this?” the officer said, examining the pill packaging stamped “drospirenone/ethinylestradiol.” “Birth control,” Ms. Archibald remembered saying. 
She took a breath and exhaled deeply, hoping the whoosh of air would cool her temper and contain her humiliation as the officers proceeded to pat her down. The laws governing street stops are blind to gender. Male officers are permitted to frisk a woman if they reasonably suspect that she may be armed with a dangerous weapon that could be used to harm them. A frisk can escalate into a field search if officers feel a suspicious bulge while patting down the woman’s outer layer of clothing or the outline of her purse. She was totally innocent and had nothing illegal on her person. Last year, New York City police officers stopped 46,784 women, frisking nearly 16,000.
Bottom line police brutality and police shooting of unarmed American should be address in the Presidential  campaign. The Emprie State Building shooting is a good example of irresponsible gun happy police officer. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said all nine bystanders wounded in Friday&#039;s Empire State Building shooting had been hit with police gunfire. There was no shoot out just cops shooting with no regard  for public safety!]]></description>

In the times we are living in plainclothes police officers jumping out a un-mark car&#8230;.Is a gang with guns or a robber or rapist in the eyes of a citizen! After the plainclothes NYPD officers murdered “UNARMED” and totally innocent of any crime Mr. Diallo ! Who saw four white men chasing him with guns&#8230;Politician and or law enforcement should “STOP” plainclothes officers!</p>
<p>Amadou Bailo Diallo  was a  black 23-year-old Guinean immigrant in New York City who was shot and killed on February 4, 1999 by four white NYPD plain-clothed officers: Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon and Kenneth Boss. The four officers fired a total of 41 shots at a totally innocent and unarmed Diallo. The Sean Bell shooting incident took place in the New York City borough of Queens, New York, United States on November 25, 2006, when three men were shot at a total of fifty times by a team of both plainclothes and undercover NYPD officers, killing one of the men, Sean Bell, on the morning before his wedding. None of the men were armed! Kathryn Johnston 92 years old was an elderly Atlanta, Georgia woman who was shot by 3 white undercover police officers in her home on Neal Street in northwest Atlanta on November 21, 2006, where she had lived for 17 years. Three officers had entered her home in what was later described as a &#8216;botched&#8217; drug raid</p>
<p>Police officers learn early in their career that their abusive action are many time laugh at and part of entertainment. As they return to their police departments and tell their stories of abuse! Shari Archibald’s black handbag sat at her feet on the sidewalk in front of her Bronx home on a recent summer night. The two male officers crouched over her leather bag and rooted around inside, elbow-deep. One officer fished out a tampon and then a sanitary napkin, crinkling the waxy orange wrapper between his fingers in search of drugs. Next he pulled out a tray of foil-covered pills, Ms. Archibald recalled. What’s this?” the officer said, examining the pill packaging stamped “drospirenone/ethinylestradiol.” “Birth control,” Ms. Archibald remembered saying.<br />
She took a breath and exhaled deeply, hoping the whoosh of air would cool her temper and contain her humiliation as the officers proceeded to pat her down. The laws governing street stops are blind to gender. Male officers are permitted to frisk a woman if they reasonably suspect that she may be armed with a dangerous weapon that could be used to harm them. A frisk can escalate into a field search if officers feel a suspicious bulge while patting down the woman’s outer layer of clothing or the outline of her purse. She was totally innocent and had nothing illegal on her person. Last year, New York City police officers stopped 46,784 women, frisking nearly 16,000.<br />
Bottom line police brutality and police shooting of unarmed American should be address in the Presidential  campaign. The Emprie State Building shooting is a good example of irresponsible gun happy police officer. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said all nine bystanders wounded in Friday&#8217;s Empire State Building shooting had been hit with police gunfire. There was no shoot out just cops shooting with no regard  for public safety!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[You need to explain exactly what you mean by racism. My understanding of racism is the system created by white supremacy, i.e. wealthy whites, based on the genocide of the people who first lived on the continents of the Americas, and the subsequent genocide of Africans kidnapped from their own lands, millions of whom perished during the middle crossing.The economic system was then built on the profits of slavery. It continues to profit from the military-prison-industrial complex which disproportinately incarcerates people of color and sends them to their deaths as they slaughter people of color in other countries, for the profits of wealthy whites. Give me yours please.]]></description>
