I just read a short editorial in the MetroTimes where the former chair of the board of Police Commissioners presented a plan to include Angel's Night deployment on a regular basis. I say former because he resigned his position when he could not get the board to move forward. Doesn't Detroit have the guts to try anything positive to turn this city around?

I don't see why without the correct planning that something like this could not work? Why not give it a shot? It definitely could become a sponsored agenda where there are rewards/incentatives for those who become involved in this type of community empowerment. They could start in areas the areas or districts where it's truly needed and beef up community and police presence, even if it's one neighborhood at a time. Retirees, citizens who care about their neighborhoods, churches, student groups, businesses, corporations, etc... could all become involved in a non-violent turnaround of this city.

Something like would have to be a serious proposal put out by the top dog of this city and supported by the state, and surrounding communities. But it really just does seem like they care. This is the time for Detroiters to come together while things like the light railway down Woodward are in the works and other positive projects are in the works. How not could businesses and jobs not be attracted to a city that cares about itself?

Maybe a shot in the dark or wishful thinking but all things are possible! Just takes a few influential, caring people to get it rolling and supporters to follow.
