Michigan State Police troopers are investigating a possible assault by Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on a deputy accompanying an investigator for the Wayne County prosecutor Thursday at the home of the mayor's sister, Sheriff Warren Evans said."Investigating"?
Evans said the 6-foot-4 mayor, a former star football player at Florida A&M University, allegedly pushed a sheriff's deputy and knocked him into the female investigator, who was working for Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy. The officers were attempting to serve a subpoena on Bobby Ferguson, a city contractor and close friend of Kilpatrick.
What's there to investigate? Did it happen or not?
And the deputy retreated from the property instead of taking his assailant down?
Why? What was "the mayor's executive protection unit" prepared to do if the deputy had?
What does Sheriff Evans mean by "escalate further"? Would Kwame's detail have resisted with force? If it had escalated, would the force level they were prepared to use have as well?
Do you think the deputy would have retreated if one of us had shoved him? Do you think he'd let us go and the police would "investigate" later?
Then again, you and I don't rule a thugocracy. We don't have armed taxcow-funded bodyguard details 24/7. We're not Mayors Against [Your] Guns.
It's good to be the king.
UPDATE: Oh, look. He's been ordered to undergo random drug testing.
What a community leader.
I will choose my words carefully.
ReplyDeleteAs a long-time observer of Deebabwe's politics, I will just say that I am unsurprised by this.
As free entertainment it is worth what you paid for it--then again, Deebabwe, the city that brought us Devil's Night, has been a bleeding wound on the nation's budget for decades and these are your tax dollars at work.
In any event, if this sort of thing amuses you I recommend that you keep an eye on Kwazy Kwamee "I Wanna Be Idi Amin when I Grow Up" Kilpatrick and his zany pals, because this is just getting started. You ain't seen nothing yet.
What I want to know is why all the law enforcement there didn't shoot at him at least 41 times.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Lynch on this. I know, I know, he's NYC, but would he urge the lace doilie treatment for Kwame for "lifting a finger", not to mention a whole cop?
David, can we contact Lynch and ask him about it?
"One investigator, a black woman, testified that the black mayor tried to shame her for working with a white colleague."
ReplyDeletegood for her. i wonder if al sharpton will have anything to say.
yeah, he will, but it will be against his "not black enough" sister.
