He's not he tells you what happened, backed up with stats and you blame him for the stats or at least for talking about them.

Woman killed, 3 men wounded in shooting in Detroit
Detroit Police are investigating a fatal shooting that has left an 18-year-old woman dead.
The victim has been identified as Aundrea Garland.
It happened at around 11:00 p.m. Wednesday in the 16600 block of Edmore. Police say four people were standing outside a home when a car drove up to them and stopped.
Four men were inside the vehicle. The man sitting in the front passenger seat got out and opened fire with a high powered weapon.
All four of the people standing outside the home were hit. In addition to Garland, the victims are a 19-year-old man, a 20-year-old man and a third man who has yet to be identified. He is believed to be 18-years-old.
The 19-year-old and 20-year-old are in temporary serious condition. The unknown man is in critical condition.
After the shooting, the four African-American men drove off from the scene. The were traveling in a red Saturn. The car has been recovered. However, police are still searching for the men.
Update, 2:25 p.m. Friday: Five people, not eight as originally reported, were shot after a candlelight vigil was held for a homicide victim killed Monday, Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody tells Deadline Detroit. Of those shot, one has died.
After cars fled the scene, a Chrysler Cirrus crashed into a fire hydrant and front porch. Of the four people in the car, one died after being ejected from the vehicle, Woody said. Another was critically injured. The two other people in the car were arrested in connection with the shooting, and a gun was recovered.
In all, four people were arrested in connection with the shootings.
Meanwhile, at Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit, relatives of the wounded started showing up. Five were taken into custody and ticketed for disorderly conduct after they refused to settle down, Woody said.
Earlier: Craziness broke out following a vigil for a homicide victim Thursday night on Detroit's west side.
The Detroit News reports that two people died and eight were shot in a hail of bullets and a car crash that resulted afterward. Residents said the vigil was for a recent victim of violence.
“It’s senseless, and it’s stupid, and there’s no reason for it,” Assistant Police Chief Steve Dolunt told the News.
The shooting took place in the 14000 block of Patton. Police were called to the scene about 1:55 a.m. Friday.
Police told the Detroit News that eight people were shot at the vigil. One of those people died.
During all the madness, some vehicles sped away and a female died after her car struck a fire hydrant and a front porch in the 9300 block of Burt, the News reports. The woman had been ejected from the vehicle.
"No justice no peace".... Where's Al?

Al Sharpton Says He's Helping The White House Pick The Next Attorney General
Rev. Al Sharpton said his civil rights organisation, the National Action Network, is “engaged in immediate conversations” with the White House as they work to name a successor to Attorney General Eric Holder, who is set to announce his resignation Thursday afternoon.
“We are engaged in immediate conversations with the White House on deliberations over a successor whom we hope will continue in the general direction of Attorney General Holder,” Sharpton said in a statement.
Sharpton also praised Holder, the first African-American attorney general, as the “best” one in history when it comes to civil rights.
“The resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder is met with both pride and disappointment by the Civil Rights community,” he said. “We are proud that he has been the best Attorney General on Civil Rights in U.S. history and disappointed because he leaves at a critical time when we need his continued diligence most.”
According to a Politico profile in August, in the aftermath of the racially-charged protests in Ferguson, Missouri, Sharpton has become Obama’s “go-to man” on race issues.
Another senseless shooting. Another dead child.
Amiracle Williams, a 3-year-old girl, became the third Detroit-area child to die in a hail of bullets in just the last few months. She was shot, along with four other people, including her immediate family, as a result of a tiff that started on social media, according to police.
She joins an agonizing list that includes 9-year-old Jakari Pearson and 2-year-oldKamiya Gross, both killed in July. Jakari lost his life after a bullet sliced into the bedroom of his Detroit home as he slept. Kamiya's death, after she was shot point-blank at an Inkster housing project, has been described as retaliation and an attempt to make her father suffer.
A fourth child, 7-year-old India Williams, was shot in the chest as she rode her bike in northeast Detroit last month. India survived with severe injuries, according to police, but her shooting as two cars chased each other fits the disturbing trend of children caught in a crossfire of adult violence.
Frierson was not home at the time of the shooting about 4 p.m. Thursday, but he and his neighbors could easily have seen evidence if they chose to look this afternoon. A bloody trail on the front porch and steps, blood-spattered sneakers in the yard and bullet holes in the door remained for all to see.
Police said Amiracle was gunned down by a man with a hand-held submachine gun.
The 23-year-old shooter and a 22-year-old man, described as the getaway driver, are in custody, according to Police Chief James Craig.
Police said Amiracle's father also shot the driver, although it's unclear who opened fire first. Five people in all were shot, including Amiracle, her father, her 40-year-old mother and her sister, who were all taken to St. John Hospital and Medical Center, although Amiracle did not survive. She was shot at least once in the chest.
The shooting followed a fight outside the young girl's home in the 11000 block of Mogul near Hayes that apparently involved her 17-year-old sister. Craig told reporters today that the girls' 47-year-old father had shot the other man because he was concerned for his older daughter's safety.
Lynch is known to be close to Holder due to her membership in the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee.
Lynch was appointed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York by President Obama in 2010. She rose to prominence as a prosecutor on the team that convicted New York police officers in the 1999 Abner Louima assault case.
Lynch served as a U.S. attorney in Brooklyn during the last two years of the Clinton administration between 1999 and 2001, followed by a tenure at the Washington mega-firm Hogan Lovells — previously Hogan & Hartson.
Lynch met with Sharpton and Esaw Garner, the wife of a New York City brutality victim, in Lynch’s Brooklyn office on August 21, 2014.
Obama met with Sharpton at the White House Wednesday, less than a full day after his party lost the midterm elections.
Sharpton has previously revealed that his National Action Network was working with the White House on replacing Holder.
The MSNBC commentator and recent recipient of a “fine set of new clothes” after his massive 160 lb. weight loss confirmed that he was working with the President on Eric Holder’s replacement and met with Lynch in her office on August 21 to discuss her thoughts with Esaw Garner, wife of Eric Garner who died at the hands of a New York police officer who is now the subject of a police brutality investigation.
The Reverend was quoted discussing his work with the President recently “We are engaged in immediate conversations with the White House on deliberations over a successor whom we hope will continue in the general direction of Attorney General Holder.” Two hours later he re-phrased his comments after a reaction from the White House about careful wording, “We did not say we are in the decision making. We are in conversation to reach out to them to have meetings about what we want to see in a successor.”
President Barack Obama spends quite a bit of time consulting with Sharpton and other prominent black leaders as opposed to the infrequent face-to-face dialogues he has with members of the Republican Party. Sharpton in particular has the President’s ear regarding many of the decisions needed to be made that will direct the course of our country. Obama is often fond of saying “You can do business with that guy”, which often concerns members of his staff who still remember Sharpton’s infamous advocacy of the Tawana Brawley hoax that propelled him into national prominence years ago, his reputation as a race baiter and historical self-promoter.
Still, the slimmed down version of Sharpton was admittedly consulted actively at the onset of the crisis in Ferguson, Missouri.
After connecting with Obama’s intimate presidential advisor, Valerie Jarrett, Sharpton reportedly received free rein at the White House. At the beginning of the political disaster, the White House relied heavily on Sharpton for inside information on what was happening on the ground while he was vacationing at Jarret’s condo in the exclusive Oak Bluffs section of Martha’s Vineyard, not far from where Obama and his family were staying.
It seems to be making you upset. You must be really upset by all the laws that are being passed by this guy.
