Who is Standing Up for Us? Local Government Called Out on Neglect by Council Members

Описание: In a viral moment from the Detroit City Council public comment session, a local resident delivers a stirring reality check to city officials. As the council discusses federal immigration enforcement (ICE), the speaker pivots the conversation to the immediate dangers facing his community: local law enforcement and systemic judicial failures.
Key moments in this address:
• Local vs. Federal Threats: The speaker argues that while the council focuses on a "small voting bloc," the Black majority in Detroit is suffering from poverty, poor education, and over-policing.
• The Case of Damon Grimes: He references the tragic 2017 death of 15-year-old Damon Grimes, who was killed after being tased by a Michigan State Police trooper while riding an ATV.
• Kym Worthy & Judicial Reform: He calls out Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy and the Conviction Integrity Unit, highlighting the decades lost by citizens due to "judicial mistakes" and overcharging.
This video highlights the tension between local legislative priorities and the lived experience of residents in America's largest majority-Black city.
What do you think? Should city councils focus more on local police reform or federal immigration policy? Let us know in the comments.
