The Detroit mayor and Detroit police chief held a joint news conference Monday morning to discuss "illegal" block parties following a block party shooting that left two people dead and 19 others hurt.
@dunnrite8299 I don't think that's the problem. It was 21 ppl shoot. You think out of 21 ppl there wasn't any home training. No the problem became when they legalized weed. Their minds aren't developed enough to handle whatever it is that they put on the weed. All that stuff you get in THE GAS STATION and purchase has a big effect on the human mind. Because what they do when they're not in the presence of their parents has nothing to do with the up bringing
I live on the street this mass shooting took place on and I don’t know why they keep callin it a “Block Party” because it WASN’T. A block party is a party that the people who LIVE on the block throws to have fun with their neighbors that ALSO live on the block. We didn’t know them kids. They don’t live on this street. I’m sure majority of them don’t even live in this area. This was WAY too close to home. Maybe open back up the Recreation centers so these kids have something constructive to do with their time other then drinking, smoking and shooting up a street they don’t even live on. We have a LOT of elderly people on this street and that was soooooo disrespectful and dangerous for them AND the rest of us. That ish was so sad.
Does accepting god stop bullets? Does accepting god heal the wounds of those injured? Does accepting god heal the trauma of those who were there? I could go on, but the answer is no.
@@AnonymousCommenter.not meaning to make this a religious discussion but listening to God would prevent one from going to these type of events. I am not being cold hearted to those whom were hurt and the families of those whom had perished. My prayers and condolences goes out. However, after this incident if people still attend these illegal block parties knowing the shootings that had occurred at the last ones then attendees will be taking their lives into their own hands
God has absolutely nothing to do with this...People are ignorant and enjoy being that way. Our culture has become overwhelmingly toxic! When I was younger women and children were off limits...Not these wild a$$ mfs they shooting auto hand guns into crowded party! You don't know or care who you're shooting..
From being in the streets too losing my vision in 2014 getting shot in the face and being blind now for 10 years smh i wish i can help these young brothers
I luv the bity also, but my brotha do u see wats goin on in and across our city or understand that they're currently white washing Tf out of the DPD...Think about that for a min, this ain't about tryna make the city safer
Idk, they are making a point to repeat the fact that some of the victims are not living in Detroit. Implying that no one can say it's a detroit problem. But... those suburbs are seeing high migration rates from detroit. So... just because they moved out of Detroit to get an apartment in the suburbs doesnt mean they ain't from detroit. Tell us where the victims were born.
Sadly, if there's no shooting, to some it's not a party. If you have to go to a party STRAPPED, maybe you should give a second thought to going to that so-called "block party." NOONE KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG WITH YALL!!!🥺🥺🥺
Some of these local bars do the same thing, block driveways and have large groups of people from all over littering and open til 3-4 am. Stop them too!
Maybe they should have more police in the inner city than just down town and fix the poverty in inner city poverty follows crime they like to play dumb
Hey I back the City I need my sons to be safe I like the direction the City is trying to go I support whatever is going to keep my neighbors and family safe
@@drewhill1291 I dunno...I personally think the city doesn't owe that and couldn't ever do that. Its funny, 20yrs ago there was twice the people and half the cops.
Law enforcement DOES not conform to youth culture. And if Trump gets re-elected. You best believe he will send in the National Guard to urban cities like Chicago that continue to be out of control! And another reason why the government is reinstating the draft for young men 18-26 for the near future wars.
Not all youth's heads are the same. I raised my son as a single mom and did a great job. It is not up to politicians to not raise thugs. It's the parent's job.
I teach in Detroit and yes, we have what's called SEL (social emotional learning) infused in the curriculum. I'm a reading teacher and students are taught character traits like respect, empathy, integrity, and compassion. In many cases, kids don't see these things being demonstrated in their homes or community.
You can see the pastor is at his wits end. I agree that parents need to do their jobs, but what do you suggest we do with all the kids whose parents have abandoned them? He's offering a solution that may help teach the next generation to be more responsible.
@@mr.getthepartylive4731 this great comment. Truth. It is a black issue that starts at home. The citys can't help much but pickup the peices after the fact. If black really cared, they would stop this on their own. I know your sick of "looking back" all the time also. In reality, you know we (whites) can't do anything to help at your home. I wish I knew the answer. I really do.
Happens in your white communities as well. Don't forget about the loudness in white communities. I know angels in your white communities don't forget about that
This will never change until the demographics change and that isn't going to happen. The original homeowners of these neighborhoods are spinning in their graves.
@amyambrose6286: There's a rule to close a street on a block for a party - a yes for 75% of those that live on that block...not a percentage to stop the party based on a disturbance.
Thank you, rap culture. We in Detroit never needed policing to do what needed to be done. Detroit always took care of itself. Self responsibility its a must.
@dhuston521 No, it's rap. Media dictates social outcomes. It's been proven. Glorify low life's, end up with low life's. It's very simple and not hard to determine who's responsible.
What I want to know I’ve been gone from Detroit for 20 years. Since I’ve been back for 4 years because my Mother is getting older the age of 87. I can Count on half of a hand. Not seen Any Police on any Streets on the East Side where are they. Detroit Gotta Do BETTER FRFR.
Ever since he's been in office he's been overcharging black homeowners homeowner taxes. He embezzled over 600 million while doing this. He's not from heaven. He has never given that money back. 600 million from black homeowners many of these were black seniors and they lost their homes. I'm 75 years old born and raised in the city I know exactly who he is
@terryrejniak: Hold on now... I wouldn't go that far. I haven't trusted Duggan since all that DMC drama. Alot of us older Detroitiers know the score on him.
@@salemdesigns65 I hope something does. I love and appreciate the city of Detroit! We need peace! People shouldn’t fear for their lives on their own street.
Illegal block parties. Repeat Repeat Repeat I'm sure they just didnt understand that they needed a permit. 😅 this has been going on for years, neighbors need to start calling the police immediately, Duggan's a fool, he's going for prosecution 😂😂😂😂 oh ok,
safe huh? you have not yet solved the major case of a high profile neurosurgeon in his home in Detroit or Samantha Woll murder brutally stabbed to death in what seems to be a crime of passion, not some random stranger robbing cars! And drag racing is still going on WTF Kim Worthy please tell me when you will talk about these issues and that fool in the Detroit hat that is a joke! FOR REAL JOKE
Everything he mentioned been mentioned and tried with minimal positive results for DECADES. Call a spade a spade. Some people just don't give a shyt about nothing besides themselves.
I'm a 54 year old white man, and my brother in the "D"hat is what we need more of is his kinda of passion for his people and community" not just the black community, because his community is Michigan. our people, Michigan people are all our people. Color of skin has nothing to do with this ..... I'm 3 hours away up north in Michigan and am very sad hearing about all this. But I love his passion. Mo's time to teach!! So all el's and bay's it's that time to step up and spread peace and teach the 5 highest TEACHINGS OF THE BOOK! IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IS. LOVE, TRUTH, PEACE, FREEDOM AND JUSTICE!!! THE FIVE HIGHEST PRIORITIES IN LIFE TO ACHIEVE!!! SO FOR MY MAN IN THE "D" HAT ... I LOVED THE HART FELT MESSAGE YOU SPOKE!! NOTHING BUT LOVE FROM THIS MAN "me" 3 HOURS UP NORTH OF DETROIT.. AND I AGREE WITH YOUR MESSAGE... AND DONT EVER LOSE THAT PASSION THAT COMES FROM THE HART AND I FELT IT!!!! just because I'm white doesn't mean I don't understand what you mean. But I can't be as effective as you can be in this matter so don't give up!!!! We need more good guys like you!!! WITH that passion for community!!!! ....Bob.... By the way I was born in the"D"!!
Well, you guys decided to close off Belle Isle in the evenings. Parks closed off at 10. Decided against the race track. Where do you expect people to go to do the things they want to do? Only place left is the neighborhoods. People are going to party and race their cars. Always have, always will. Give them a place thats safe to do so or you'll just keep running into the same problems every summer.
There are vast amount of empty land within the 140 square miles in Detroit. Why not hold a block party on one of those parcels? That’s just an excuse young Detroiters make for their lawlessness.
Why don't they just go home and mow their lawns? Or pick up the trash on their street? Or fix something broken? Or play ball with some kids? Or just have some time with their parents? Their girl? Be American, ffs! Assimilate already!
What’s going on in the Black community? Seems like they’re going backwards instead of forward. Gangs were heavy when I was younger in the Asian community. All my brothers were gang affiliated but as we grew up and had children, we wanted better for our children so we steered them away from gun and violence. Mind you we also lived in the ghetto and on government assistance. The community moved forward as a whole. We shamed those who wreaked havoc in the community and held them accountable. Now, if you’re gang affiliated we just look at you like you’re goofy. Nothing is going to change if the community doesn’t want to put the effort.
So, you have a block party. Kids have social media and hear about an event and they’re coming from all over. Some may have been in town visiting relatives and heard about the event. You say you’re not victim shaming but you are, Chief. Errbody knows that Detroiters live all over the place these days, including the burbs but what is true is that the shooting probably wouldn’t have gone down if the party was in the burbs. And why is that? It’s not so simple. We need to take a hard look at this.
🙌🏼 ever since gangster rap , Now murder Rap , the lyrics say shoot , beat another man or woman, kill, make that illegal money, rob another rapper for his chain , shoot & kill, after that violent video games, movies, Hollywood & the music industry don’t give a f about the hood ! 💩 sells / sex& violence sells to them , & bye the way blm profits off blacks death bye Caucasian cops, but don’t care bout the high numbers of black on black violence/deaths ! Truth / facts!
That’s actually a good idea who would come to I was growing up. I lived in the warning counter project the old side we had the own mini police department. This was the early 80s early 90s no drama plenty of parties. Everyone got along used to have many police stations everywhere but now the police are just as bad as, the one gangsters who can you trust?
When you take into consideration that they don’t want you to do anything, what do they expect? They literally don’t want you to do nothing but go to work and go home. Simply put, police know what they signed up for and no matter what or how they do things, this is going to happen no matter the city! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Is There A Connection Between Detroit , Chicago And Philadelphia Mass Shootings All Within 4 Days July 2024 ? ❓ Is There An Organized Rich Group Directing These Shootings ? ❓ The Three Cities Should Talk And Find Out If There Is Anything In Common Or Similar .
what do you think is going to happen when you take everything away from the people? Yall took Bell Isle and all the parks so what do you think is going to happen.. PULL UP WE KICKIN IT AT >>> BLOCK! FTP like NWA said and we outside tonight so eat a EXTRA LARG JOHNSON F.A.Y
@@thanosdoomjuggernaut2846 it was a CITY PARK OPEN ALL NIGHT 24/7 city gave it to the state for 30 years and you not knowing you can't be from DETROIT but I will educate you
The Brother is the only one 1 l trust and I challenge anybody to provide security for the mind body and our city for the uprising of our people and the knowledge of self and nature
