They are the ornamental type and don't really produce pears. They are the newest type tree you see…Read More in all the new developments. I don't feel that they belong in a historic neighborhood. Funny how quick they are to cut down trees for developers but don't seem to care or listen to the people who are losing the trees in their neighborhood. Soon there will be a lovely parking lot for us all to look at instead.

I have a son the exact same age as the boy who was supposedly beaten. We have lived in this…Read More wonderful city for many years and never have heard such ridiculousness as police brutality. I taught my son to treat authority figures with respect. I have read many comments on here and the news herald and what bothers me is that you don't hear anything from this boy's parents or even a member of his family trying to build his character at all! What we are hearing instead is about him being uncooperative with officers, pushing an officer, underage drinking, harboring a minor, contributing to the deliquincy of minors, staying in a home with no electricity or running water, drug use. The only people that have defended his character is the lady that rented the home, she's definitely a nut case. As well as his friends. At that young age their peers hear something and run with it without taking into consideration the whole situation. If you are going to be aggressive with our officers they will be aggressive right back. Their are no "kid gloves" when you are 19. Take into account the drug use that was reportedly going on the home. I can't help but believe that this is why the situation escalated as it had. I have seen our police in action they have always been polite and curtious even to people that are drunk off their asses and calling them every name in the book. I am proud to live in this city. I choose to live here just as the people on Lincoln St. Do. Numerous calls to the home was an issue already. If you are going to try to start a battle against the officers in our city make sure you have a basis because you clearly don't. All this negativity surrounding this young man is not helping you make your point. My hope for this young man is that his family is concerned and step back into his life and lead him on a positive road to be a productive and responsible member of society. Everyone who is supporting him and ranting about the police are not helping him. You are hurting him. No one should ever have to live in the conditions this young man was living in, the home was condemned that day by the city. To me that is the most disturbing part. Would you want upwards of 10 people mostly teens staying in a home on your street destroying it and your property as well? If you are going to make a stand against police make sure the example of the person you are using wasn't up to no good in the first place because clearly he was and had been.

I apologize for not addressing your son's friend being tackled at the park. What charges were filed…Read More against the police department for it? Was there a settlement for the city to pay the boy's medical bills? Why was the boy running from the police?

Carla this boy is now in the Navy serving our country, it was the incident that let this young man…Read More know there is NO future downriver and kids (boys in particular) today are lucky to escape this area as there is no jobs or futures here. And the boys ran simply because one started running, there we playing basketball and in today's police state we are dealing with that is what these kids will do anymore. Instead of steering our young adults they are punishing them, harassing them or beating them as you see Jacks comment on how they are now trained. There is NO sense of community with police officers anymore. I am 50 years old and remember having several incidents with police as a teen and I despite getting into trouble I was treated as properly with no abuse and in fact a few times they used there common sense to know these are KIDS doing what kids do and not punish the parents with hundreds or thousands of dollars of fines for something that can be handled internally. Dont get me wrong Carla my son has had the benefit of the doubt 2 times from Wyandotte PD when they could have stuck him good, so I do have respect for 95% of the force, they do have the most dangerous hardest job imaginable, for those that do follow the code of ethics I tip my hat off to them, its these over zealous police that makes me mad as again if you seen the pictures I seen its distrubing to thing that could have been my son getting beat and tasered by these 2 much bigger officers with training. There job is to apprehend him, not teach him a lesson or beat him senseless or perhaps lose his eyesight over something that should have easily been handled. For this teen arrest could have been made without the injuries this kid will have to live with for the rest of his life. And when a officer clearly violates our 1st or 4th amendment laws do you think these officers get suspended or punished? If they do we are not allowed to know what happened, its the only profession where you can do whatever you want and the end results in cloaked in mystery to the general public like the stolen gun in Wyandotte pd, he clearly STOLE the gun which should have been immediate loss of his job, instead he gets a vacation and dont do that again. The rest of us have to follow the law or face endless fines, probation etc, they get a bad boy, here's a paid vacation don't do that again. this is where the lack of respect comes from me, if I go to jail for stealing guns for a police car how does this guy get a slap on the wrist and continue being a officer? Until these double standards are corrected and officers are made to face the same consequences we have to this will never end and why some of them have the I am God complex.

Agree, sorry that happened to you! Last year, I had hanging baskets along the inside of my fence on…Read More sheperd's hooks, the local kids liked to reach over the fence and purposely knock my baskets off, it is really infuriating!
Kara Golden June 10, 2013 at 01:52 pm
So sorry to hear that. I would be very upset if my baskets went missing...or were knocked over. This…Read More isn't the first time I have heard someone say that their things were stolen. I hope that the local police are taking these things seriously.
