Here is the actual letter that was published on June 4, 2011. Talk about severe editing!
How about a little outrage over the latest FBI crime statistics? Our city again leads the nation in crime. Our murder rate, for example, is 500% greater than the rate in Los Angeles. It’s time to seriously challenge the willingness and capability of the Detroit Police Department to fulfill its stated mission of protecting and serving our city.
The latest example of incompetence comes from the disgraceful and probably criminal failure to secure the former crime laboratory — which, by the way, was closed because of incompetence in ballistics testing. Thomas E. Page Retired, Los Angeles Police Department
The philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote that "Hell is other people." In the firm belief that Sartre was right, I will periodically identify those people who create Hell on earth! This designation is not a traditional award. It certainly is not an achievement; rather, it's a mischievement. It's not something that one strives for; nor is the designation won. By action or words or both, certain people deserve metaphorical, if not actual, eternal damnation. Enjoy.
