Yesterday, on the way to the Tigers game, me and my father were listening to 97.1 The Ticket. They were discussing the appointment of Raphael B. Johnson to the Board of Police Commissioners. He ran for Detroit city council and lost in the primary.

It is well known that he has appeared on the Maury show many times and has a past criminal history that he has already served his time for.

Which brings me to this question stated above. I ask this question because of the already negative image Detroit has nationally. Wouldn't appointing a known felon tarnish Detroit even further?

I would love to hear your responses.
