Now the streets will be flooded with more violence and outlaws because of the city itself is near bankruptcy.

read the article: Why Detroit is breaking up its Gang Squad | Michigan Radio

With no more gang squad? Ooh. It'll be hell. It will be hell. It's gonna be crazy," Tagg says.

here is a video that National Geographic made about them.

The emergency manager takes over in the next two weeks. The city council really has no clue how to run a city. And the sad thing is, Detroit could be such a magnificent city if it ever got its shyt together.

I was literally just on a panel (presented a paper) about the rise and fall of Detroit in Indi. Hopefully Detroit can recover; however, the city needs a completely new infrastructure (because in many ways the city was designed to fail in a post industrial economy).

ONE THING IS WE HAVE 700K PEOPLE PAYING FOR AN INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT 1.5 MILLION PEOPLE. WE HAVEN'T CUT ALL THE FAT OFF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE YET.

And you do that how?

FOR ONE CONSOLIDATING OUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS. ALL THOSE BLOCKS WITH 1-2 HOUSES LEFT NEED TO HAVE THOSE PEOPLE RELOCATED OR LOSE CITY SERVICES. MAKES NO SENSE TO PAY A GARBAGE TRUCK TO DRIVE DOWN 4 CITY BLOCKS TO SERVICE 3 HOUSES. THAT'S A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW FOR SOME BUT SOME TOUGH DECISIONS HAVE TO BE MADE. EITHER THAT OR START PRIVATIZING ALL THE THOSE SERVICES.

Kwame really fukked our shyt up.
And I had a run in with these gang squad losers(I wouldn't say that shyt to their face. Same situation with the dude who commented above. Except I got caught at the spot. My boy started running his mouth and got power bombed into the cement, not to mention they was taking nikkas money out they pocket. White boy from the burbs got caught up to. They took his money, whip and told the dude to find a way home. We was on like 6 mile and mound. I'm sure I didn't make it home. fukk these nikkas.

KWAME DIDN'T fukk IT UP. HE JUST KEPT THE CYCLE GOING. DETROIT HAS BEEN HEADING TOWARDS THIS SINCE JUST BEFORE ARCHER TOOK OFFICE. DECADES OF POLITICS LED TO THIS. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE LONGER BUT THE AUTO INDUSTRY TAKING THAT HIT MADE THINGS HAPPEN WAY SOONER THAN EXPECTED.

Yeah your right. Ive been gone for years so i cant really talk in it,But dudes like Kwame, Ferguson, Conyers, etc took this shyt over the edge. The whole Detroit government is corrupt. Not to mention our schools. That's why you'll never catch me living in Detroit, let alone Michigan again. To easy to get into some bullshyt. Only thing I appreciate about the city is that it gave me the tools to deal with individuals on the streets as well as other areas in life.
