We cannot measure the tragedy of a death by the standard of whether or not it draws the sustained attention of the media or lawyers or politicians. Sometimes politics and the law direct more attention to some deaths than others, but all of them were victims of a toxic culture of violence that has gripped Detroit. May has been a heartbreaking month in Detroit.

We hope for better things.
