It was a sad weekend in Detroit. Four police officers were shot inside their precinct. It was the latest round of a series of violent and seemingly escalating incidents in the city. Is it just the natural ebb and flow of urban life or does it speak to a more underlying current of fear and desperation? Does the slow process of renewal give way to frustration and hopelessness? How does the escalation of violence affect the psyche of a population trying to move forward and into a better place?
"That four were shot at once in Detroit wasn't shocking; that they were all uniformed and armed was. And it capped another felonious weekend during which three bodies were found in an eastside home on Friday and five people were shot outside a strip club early Sunday. "
