Read in the Detroit News this morning about some demonstrators chaining themselves together at the Third Precinct to "Commemorate" the 2010 slaying of Aiyana Stanley-Jones. While I morn the death of any child resulting from violence in the city, I have to ask myself, "Why chose the one death that resulted from a white police officer that happened 10 years ago?
What about all the children that were killed or maimed since then? I'm curious as to how many children younger than say, 10 years old were murdered in the last 10 years? IMHO, this is the big problem on the streets right now.
Please don't get me wrong, the death of little Aiyana was a very tragic event and I don't mean to belittle this but I think more effort needs to be put forth to stop this needless bloodshed of our children.
