LOL It's not like they don't have other things that should be occupying their time than helping out on the railroading of George.

The Detroit City Council on Tuesday <u>unanimously</u> passed a resolution calling for a federal investigation to see whether civil rights charges are warranted against George Zimmerman, who was acquitted July 13 of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
The resolution, sponsored by Councilwoman JoAnn Watson, sparked a discussion over the need for city leaders and others to focus more on violence in Detroit.
âWe need to have that same level of outrage with respect to the black-on-black crime that takes place in our community,â Councilman Kenneth Cockrel Jr. said. âHow many people were shot â maybe even shot and killed this past weekend in the city â mostly likely by folks who look just like them?â
Watson said there are many events held regularly to address violence in Detroit. âBecause the so-called major media does not cover all of the expressions does not mean it does not happen,â she said. âSo thatâs not correct.â
