LITTLE AREA OF HEAVY RAIN.
NOTHING SEVERE. NOTHING THAT WE
REALLY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. BUT

YOU KEEP IN MIND IF YOU DO LIVE
IN EAST POINT. OTHERWISE OUR
ATTENTION FOCUS. FOCUS IS NOW ON
TEMPERATURES BY THE TIME YOU
WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNING TEMPS

CLOUDY AND COOL AT THE BUS STOP.

LARGER FACILITY, RIGHT. DEVIN
THAT’S RIGHT. THEY’RE MOVING IT

THERE’S AN AUDITORIUM HERE. IT
CAN SEAT 600 PEOPLE. THEY HAVE
OVERFLOW ROOMS AS WELL. THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT TELLS ME THEY
BELIEVE BETWEEN FOUR AND 500
PEOPLE SHOWED UP ON MONDAY.
MONDAY’S DEAR BOARD SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING TURNED INTO PANDEMONIUM
AS PEOPLE SHOUTED DOWN SPEAKERS
AND BOARD MEMBERS. IT GOT PACKED
TO THE POINT. THE FIRE MARSHAL
CLOSED IT DOWN, AND THE POLICE
CHIEF HIMSELF SHOWED UP TO CALM
EVERYBODY DOWN. WHAT’S RILED UP
SO MANY ARGUMENTS OVER SIX BOOKS
IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
COLLECTION OF 500,000, AND WE’RE
NOT GOING TO LET THEM PUT THE
BOOKS ON THE SHELF. I DON’T CARE
WHAT ADMINISTRATION SAID THE
BOOKS MUST BE ON THE SHELF.
THESE ARE BOOKS THAT SHOULD NOT
BE HONEST SELF. AND WHILE NOT
ALL ALL DEAL WITH LGBT Q SUBJECT
MATTER. IT’S THOSE TITLES THAT
REALLY GOT PEOPLE OUTRAGED. WHAT
ELSE HAD THEM FURIOUS THE
DECISION TO SHUT DOWN THE
MEETING, THE DEARBORN SCHOOLS
COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR TELLS US
TONIGHT, EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO
TALK WILL GET THEIR CHANCE
TOMORROW, STARTING WITH THOSE
WHO FILLED OUT A BLUE CARD TO
SPEAK. ON MONDAY. THOSE WHO
FILLED ABOUT A BLUE CARD AT
MONDAY’S MEETING WILL BE GIVEN
THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO THE
PODIUM AND SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS
. THEY WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES,
WHICH IS THE STANDARD PROCEDURE.
IT’S NOTHING NEW. IT’S BEEN IN
PLACE FOR YEARS. BACK HERE LIVE
AND ONCE THOSE WHO WERE
SCHEDULED TO SPEAK ON MONDAY GET
THEIR CHANCE. THEN THEY WILL
OPEN IT UP TO NEW PEOPLE WHO
COME TOMORROW AND DEVIN
KIMBERLY. ONE MORE THING FROM
THE DISTRICT. YOU SAW THE VIDEO
AND YOU SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL
NOT A LOT SEVERAL BROUGHT REALLY
LARGE SIGNS. THEY’RE ASKING
PEOPLE NOT TO DO THAT. THEY SAY
IT OBSTRUCTS OTHER PEOPLE’S
VIEWS. UM DEVIN KIMBERLY, AS YOU
WERE TALKING ABOUT DAVE MUSTAINE
AND THERE WE KNOW THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT IS REVIEWING THESE
TITLES REVIEWING WHAT EXACTLY
DOES THAT MEAN? SO
DEVIN SCILLIAN. PRINCIPAL AND
THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL GOES TO THE
MEDIA SPECIALIST, AND THEN THEY
HAVE A PANEL OF THEIR DISTRICT
MEDIA SPECIALISTS. LOOK AT IT,
MAKE WHATEVER DECISION THAT
DECISION IS GOING TO BE OKAY? IF
APPARENT, IS STILL UNHAPPY WITH
THAT DECISION. THEY THEN HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK FOR A
SECOND REVIEW. THAT WOULD BE A
PANEL OF PARENTS OF COMMUNITY
MEMBERS STUDENT AS WELL AS
STAFF. BACK TO YOU WATCHING TO
SEE WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW NIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, MARA. THE THIRD TIME
IN LESS THAN A WEEK, ACTIVISTS
MARCHED ON DETROIT’S WEST SIDE
DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR PORTER
BERKS. HE’S THE YOUNG MAN SHOT
AND KILLED BY POLICE OFFICERS
DURING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
PAMELA OSBORNE LIVE TONIGHT FOR
US, PAM. THIS GROUP IS CALLING
FOR EVEN MORE RALLIES AND
MARCHES. THAT’S RIGHT, KIMBERLY.
THEY SAY THEY’RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO DO THESE MARCHES
UNTIL THEY KNOW THE NAMES OF THE
OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THAT FATAL
SHOOTING. THE GROUP BANNED BY
ANY MEANS NECESSARY CAME
TOGETHER WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO MAKE
NOISE OVER THE POLICE SHOOTING
DEATH OF 22 YEAR OLD PORTER
BERKS FIRED FROM THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND WE WANT THEM
JAILED FOR MURDER WAS HAVING A
MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY EARLIER
THIS MONTH WHEN HIS FAMILY
CALLED FOR HELP. DETROIT POLICE
RESPONDED AND FOUND BERKS WITH A
KNIFE ON SNOWDEN AVENUE AND
LYNDON STREET NEAR HIS HOME.
THEY TRIED TO TALK HIM DOWN. MY
NAME IS SEAN. MAN, YOU’RE OKAY.
YOU’RE NOT IN ANY TROUBLE, OKAY?
POLICE SAY BURKE’S REFUSED TO
DROP THE KNIFE AND CHARGED AT
OFFICERS. FIVE OFFICERS FIRED 38
SHOTS. NOBODY SHOULD BE BRINGING
GUNS TO A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
THAT’S WHAT I MAKE OF THAT. WELL
WHAT WE REALLY NEED IS MORE
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE, BUT ABOVE
ALL RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE NEED IS
THOSE KILLER COPS TO BE LOCKED
UP AND THEIR NAMES WERE MADE
PUBLIC, SO WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
DPD SAYS IT’S INVESTIGATING
EVERY ASPECT OF THE TRAGEDY,
ADDING, AS ONE OFFICER DROVE
BURKES TO THE HOSPITAL. ANOTHER

UNTIL THEY ARRIVED. ABSOLUTELY
NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE
EXECUTION THAT THEY COMMITTED
AGAINST QUARTERBACKS. AND THEY
DID REACH OUT TO DPD, BUT WE
HAVE NOT HEARD BACK YET TONIGHT

THAT THEY’RE CONDUCTING AN
INTERNAL REVIEW TO SEE WHAT
EXACTLY HAPPENED THAT MORNING OF
OCTOBER 2ND AND THEN MICHIGAN
STATE POLICE. THEY’RE DOING THE
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. ONCE
THAT INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETE,
THEY WILL FORWARD THOSE FINDINGS
OVER TO THE WAYNE COUNTY
PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE. BUT BETWEEN
