Don't you agree with me that today's injured must all three be residents of Detroit?

After all, resident police and firefighters care more about about other residents and they do a better job in accomplishing their duties than non-residents - or so one argument for requiring residency goes. Only a resident firefighter would risk life an health for Detroiters.
Unfortunately the state of Michigan overturned that law in 1999. When i lived in Harper Woods the area of Detroit surrounding me was filled with firefighters and cops from Detroit. Michigan overturned the law, they moved out, and the neighborhood went to hell.
