Yeah, that looks like a shoot out from what was a block party - about 400 people. No one is talking/ snitching.

I guess that black life don't matter as much as when the police shoot them.Yeah, that looks like a shoot out from what was a block party - about 400 people. No one is talking/ snitching.

Zacha, the police do need policing. Too many of their actions are "ego driven" and they don't like to be "disrespected". In a perfect wo0rld, the police would operate with cool professionalism when dealing with the public. Funny, the police have been the politest with me when I have committed a traffic misdemeanor and the nastiest when I was a witness to an accident or a crime.
Wow a shooting at Dexter and Tuxedo. Was it Young Boys Inc?
Yep, that's a pretty bad area as neighborhoods go. Has been for some time.
A woman was shot by a stray bullet in Greektown last night. Pretty crazy when people are shooting each other on Monroe and Beaubien. No matter what kind of trains or lofts they build, Detroit has a long way to go with crime.
If my statistics are correct, there are 89 guns per 100 head of population in the US.
Politically neutral Switzerland [[which is superb at avoiding skirmishes, yet needs loads of guns?) also has a high gun ownership rate. Presumably they have no allies to protect them, and last time I was in Switzerland it seemed the other developed European nations were getting sick of Swiss separatism.
In Detroit, even fake guns [[replicas) are a problem because would-be young robbers from the hood can't afford a real piece. It's up to you if you want to test that it's a real gun before you hand over any valuables.
The neighborhoods you live and walk in, and who you associate with, play a big role in your safety. I think a lot of un-targeted randoms got shot at that recent block party incident on the basketball court.
Here's where I sourced my stats from, but I think unregistered guns and replica guns would be more common in the US than other countries:

For a broad overview of crimes as they occur in Detroit, I occasionally visit this Facebook page, but it has no official law enforcement credentials or statistics-gathering bonafides:

Also, where are some stats on the amount of fatal versus non-fatal shootings in the US? It seems we've established that one-third of shootings in the US are homicides, the other two-thirds are suicides plus a few accidents. Does that include all types of shootings or only fatal shootings?

I believe the Swiss are required to keep guns as part of their military service obligation. I could be wrong though.... Politically neutral Switzerland [[which is superb at avoiding skirmishes, yet needs loads of guns?) also has a high gun ownership rate.

Full automatic with basic load of ammo [[in sealed can). When the practice alert sounds, you show up at your muster point in full field order with weapon and ammo [[and the can seal better be intact).
The problem is people. Period.
Only in Detroit can the chief call the shooting of 11 people urban terrorism and people come out against the chief finding that term offensive but these same people aren't out there telling the community to report who did the shooting. Its like for some the shootings are ok. They benefit from keeping the people in Detroit uneducated and unemployed.
Yeah, it's all about being offended by the superficialities, yet here we go. Senseless crime, running rampant in neighborhoods where people know names but are fearful to speak out. Which is a form of terrorism. Figure it out folks! Stop defending the indefensible while putting in orders for more coffins.

Definitely putting a damper on Detroit's comeback. I think some people were hoping for this, well you got your wish.Yeah, it's all about being offended by the superficialities, yet her we go.

I don't think anyone is "hoping for this", but it gets put on the back-burner and swept under the rug, and not addressed. There is more emphasis on peddling bull, than addressing the problem. Trust me, the stories that make the headlines are only the tip of the iceberg.
It's summertime! Too bad it ain't like this without the party poopers.

What a cool song... almost eh, 'corny' considering many forms of rap now. No wonder he ditched the music career.
Dangy, you're right HT. He did not call not one of the women bitches. And Smith still has some money. So many rappers have gone broke!
This problem is not a "elephant in the room" or rocket science. A good blueprint to follow has already been made. All that is necessary is the investment towards the solution. A zero tolerance on illegal gun crimes would be a good start. Very high bails and mandatory minimums on any and all firearms involved crimes would save lives. A gun culture already exist in many poverty stricken communities and nobody from Washington is going to show up with a magic wand that turns them into bubble gum. It's way past due to act on the solution of strict enforcement of law on illegal guns.

Nice way to introduce your bias. Use your web browser's search feature and you will find that no where in that report is gun or firearm are mentioned.This problem is not a "elephant in the room" or rocket science.

How about a zero tolerance on crime itself? The elephant shakes it's head.
The real problem starts in childhood and progresses, influenced by mass media and dramatisation of violence. We as a society, ancient and modern eat this stuff up.
