Ex-Detroit mayoral candidate hides with intruders inside home.
2013-08-22
She was on the phone when she heard the break-in. She called police right away. They showed up 20 minutes later. One advised her to get a CPL license.

#6  I just wonder, If she had called and NOT said she's a Politician, would the cops be quicker?

Thy know who's at fault in Demopoit, Umm Detroit.

#5  Howze called police, telling a dispatcher she was a former mayoral candidate who had just completed a news conference.

“I thought that if I explained who I was that it might illustrate the state of mind I was in,” Howze said. “I was hoping for a faster response time.”


Like Rambler sed, I wonder what a non-pol would have gotten for as response.

#4  I wonder what the cop would have told a non-politician.

The cops took 20 minutes to arrive. As Glenn Reynolds is fond of saying: "When seconds count, the police are minutes away."

#2  Â“To think that a youth could do this randomly or selectively, I canÂ’t imagine that,” Howze said.

You're a BIGOT, profiling Youths. (How does that get you, tarred with the same brush)

Probably just bored. A lot of that going around of late.
