where former residents were having loved one's remains exhumed and moved to cemeteries outside of the City because they felt unsafe coming into Detroit and being alone in the cemetery. Just no respect, and a sad state of affairs.
Why should Detroit residents have to beg police to perform the most basic types of law enforcement? Protecting the structures that house people and businesses is only common sense. If there are no structures left for people to live in or to conduct business there will be no tax base with which to pay their salary.
