Detroit to Shut Down Half of Its Public Schools to Kill Deficit

And this relates to the nearly 500 computers being stolen how?

The single thief you brought to our attention no longer attended school.

With the fact that the publicly masturbating former Detroit schools superintendent was also illiterate and Detroit schools get more dollars thrown at them with some of the worst results with graduations and student test scores.....yeah....I don't think anyone will notice.

Most people think financially rewarding failures is a bad idea. You seem to disagree.

What makes you think a single thief can walk away with 500 computers?

Except for the fact that you have to live and work there.

Investors buy up failing companies all the time and turn them around. Not sure why you believe that investing money into the infrastructure of a school to provide a 21st century education is somehow a bad thing.

The Detroit Police Officers Association is warning citizens and out-of-towners that they enter Detroit at their own risk, saying that the "grossly understaffed" and overworked police force cannot adequately protect the public in the increasingly violent city.

“Detroit is America’s most violent city, its homicide rate is the highest in the country and yet the Detroit Police Department is grossly understaffed,” DPOA Attorney Donato Iorio told WWJ over the weekend.

This summer, city leaders cut the police department's 2012-13 budget by $75 million, to about $340 million, in an attempt to reduce the city's deficits, the Detroit Free Press reported. That forced the department to draw up a budget that will result in the loss of 380 positions through attrition and early retirement.

Iorio told WWJ hundreds of officers have left the department since the start of summer.
"Officers are leaving simply because they can’t afford to stay in Detroit and work 12-hour shifts for what they are getting paid," Iorio told WWJ. "These police officers are beyond demoralized. ... They can no longer afford to stay on the department and protect the public,” he said.

Renee Monforton of the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau told NBC News that it’s unfortunate that the police union is using such tactics to move its agenda forward.
“It’s offering an unfair portrayal of a city that’s made a lot of strides in the past couple of years,” she said, noting that companies such as Quicken Loans have recently moved their headquarters and offices to downtown Detroit.

“People who come here are so pleasantly surprised that we see a lot of repeat visitations,” Monforton said.

does it call batman?

I think they can only afford this

Still better than a phone line.

Is Batman's dog like supermans? Supermans dog has the same powers. But Batman trained and spent money to get his "powers." How does that get passed on to the dog?

Ace, the bat-hound was bitten by the bat-mite. He had a radio controlled collar that signaled him to put on his mask and find Batman and Robin.

I happen to love the city of Detroit, but the last time I made comments about it, I had to go to time-out.
