THIS, YOU KNOW IT’S JUST GETTING
WAY TOO CLOSE TO HOME. YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND HOW CONCERNED TO THAT
POINT SCHOOL DISTRICT JUST
RELEASED A STATEMENT JUST BEFORE
GOING ON AIR HERE, SAYING THAT
THEY WILL HAVE COUNSELORS.
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. FRASER
SCHOOLS TOMORROW. THAT IS THE
SCENE RIGHT NOW IN FRASER WITH A
NIGHT CAMPED IN PAMPLIN LOCAL 4
OKAY, TIM, HOW ARE THEIR TOP
STORY TONIGHT? MSU’S PRESIDENT,
DEFENDING HIMSELF AS SOME
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD TRIED TO
GET HIM TO RETIRE EARLY. MARK
MACDONALD LIVE IN EAST LANSING
MARA TONIGHT, THE FACULTY HEARD
DIRECTLY FROM THE PRESIDENT.
THAT’S RIGHT, AND PRESIDENT
STANLEY DIDN’T ADDRESS ANY OF
THE EARLY RETIREMENT ISSUE AT
ALL. WHAT HE DID SAY IS THIS
THAT HE STANDS BEHIND HIS
DECISION MAKING PROCESS ON TWO
ISSUES THAT ARE SWIRLING AT THE
BOARD NUMBER ONE. THE FORCED
RESIGNATION OF THE DEAN OF THE
BROAD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND
NUMBER TWO, THE UNIVERSITY’S
CERTIFICATION PROCESS WHEN IT
COMES TO TITLE NINE. PRESIDENT
STANLEY ADDRESSING THE FACULTY
SENATE TONIGHT TO THANK EVERYONE
FOR THEIR MESSAGES OF SUPPORT
AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO THOSE WHOSE
SPOKEN PUBLICLY SUPPORTING THE
PROVOST IN ME, STANLEY SAID HE
SUPPORTED THE DECISION TO FORCE
THE RESIGNATION OF THE DEAN OF
THE BROAD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS FOR
ALLEGEDLY FAILING TO REPORT
SEXUAL HARASSMENT ALLEGATIONS IN
A TIMELY MANNER. FACULTY AND
BROAD WENT TO THE BOARD OF
TRUSTEES AND ASKED FOR AN
INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT WENT
DOWN. BUT I WAS VERY SURPRISED
WHEN THE BOARD ANNOUNCED IT WAS
HIRING OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL TO
REVIEW THIS DECISION. THE OTHER
ISSUE IS THE CERTIFICATION
PROCESS. THE UNIVERSITY IS
REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH TO MAKE
SURE IT’S IN COMPLIANCE WITH
TITLE NINE. THE PRESIDENT CLAIMS
HE IS NOT THE ISSUE. THE BOARD
IS I WAS NOTIFIED THAT SOME OF
OUR BOARD MEMBERS MAY NOT HAVE
ACTUALLY COMPLIED WITH THEIR
PART OF THE STATE REQUIREMENT IN
2021. WE ASKED FOR AN INTERNAL
AUDIT AND REVIEWED THE SITUATION
WHICH RAISED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR
COMPLIANCE AND MADE IT CLEAR
THAT WE CAN IMPROVE THE
PROCESSES BY WHICH THE REVIEWS
WERE TAKING PLACE. CLEARLY THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES DOES NOT VIEW
IT THAT WAY. DR RIMA VASSAR, A
BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEMBER, TOLD
THE FACULTY SENATE THERE WAS
ENOUGH CONCERN ABOUT STANLEY’S
MANAGEMENT OF TITLE, NINE ISSUES
AND EARLY RETIREMENT OFFER. WAS
EXTENDED. I DON’T WANT TO SAY
THAT THE BOARD HAS NOT TAKEN
INTO ACTION OTHER THAN TO ASK
THE PRESIDENT TO RETIRE EARLIER.
BACK HERE ALIVE, SO THERE HAS
BEEN NO TALK OF A FORCED
RESIGNATION AT THIS POINT OR NO
THREAT OF A FIRING. BUT
IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS TWO
INVESTIGATIONS GOING BEING DONE
BY AN OUTSIDE LEGAL FIRM. THEY
AWAIT FINAL REPORTS. WE’RE LIVE
IN EAST LANSING TONIGHT ON THE
CAMPUS OF MSU, MARA MACDONALD.
LOCAL 4 SOME WAY TO START THE
SCHOOL YEAR AT MSU. ALL RIGHT,
MARA DETROIT POLICE
INVESTIGATING ANOTHER DEADLY
SHOOTING INVOLVING A CHILD. THIS
TIME AN EIGHT YEAR OLD LITTLE
GIRL HAPPENED THIS AFTERNOON
LAND HAYDEN NEAR JOY ROAD ON THE
CITY’S WEST SIDE, POLICE SAID
THE GIRL AND HER 10 YEAR OLD
BROTHER FOUND A GUN WHILE THEY
WERE HOME ALONE DURING THE DAY
THE WEAPON WAS FIRED AND THE
GIRL WAS HIT IN THE NECK AND
SHOULDER AND DIED RIGHT NOW. IT
IS NOT CLEAR WHO FIRED THE GUN.
NEIGHBORS AND POLICE ARE TRYING
TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT HAPPENED.
TRYING TO HELP HER. BUT IT
DIDN’T WORK OUT. JUST HATE THAT
TRAGIC CHILD ABUSE ON THE SCENE
AND THEY’RE GONNA LOOK AT THE
PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ALL
THOSE THINGS THAT I’VE SAID A
ZILLION TIMES. BUT WHAT DOES
THAT DO TO BRING THE EIGHT YEAR
OLD BACK? NOTHING, NOTHING. AND
THEN WE, YOU KNOW, WE THIS NEEDS
TO BE THE LAST ONE. MANY ARE
ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THE
KIDS WEREN’T IN SCHOOL CHIEF
WHITE IS ENCOURAGING GUN OWNERS
TO SECURE THEIR GUNS. HE’S
ENCOURAGING AGAIN. SECURE YOUR
GUNS, ESPECIALLY AROUND
CHILDREN. WELL FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN FIVE YEARS, DETROIT
POLICE WILL BE WELCOMING A NEW
CLASS OF RESERVE OFFICERS. THOSE
NEW RECRUITS WILL BE TRAINING
TWICE A WEEK OVER THE NEXT TWO
MONTHS. VICTOR WILLIAMS JOINS US
FROM DEPUTY HEADQUARTERS WITH
HOW THE DEPARTMENT WILL BE
DEPLOYING THESE NEW RESERVE
OFFICERS. WELL THESE ARE JUST
REGULAR PEOPLE WITH REGULAR JOBS
. AND EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW GIG
IS NOT A PAYING ONE, IT’S STILL
VERY REWARDING IN MANY WAYS,
THAT’S A GOOD THING. THERE’S
SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO DO,
BECAUSE I’M TIRED OF WHAT WE SEE
HERE ON THE STREETS. LEROY SMITH
AND LIBERAL SORT OF NARROW RAZOR
TO ORDINARY MEN ABOUT EMBARK ON
AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY WITH
THE DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AS RESERVE POLICE OFFICERS THE
SERVICE FOR THE COMMUNITY. I
THINK IT’S A WONDERFUL
OPPORTUNITY GOING THROUGH A NINE
WEEK PROGRAM TO BECOME MEMBERS
OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE CHIEF OF
THE RESERVE, STEPHEN LEWIS,
SAYS. IT’S DIFFERENT THAN YOU
MAY THINK OUR JOB IS TO ASSIST
SWORN OFFICERS WERE THERE TO
HELP THEM WITH WHATEVER THEY
NEED TO GET THEIR JOBS DONE.
LAPD POLICE OFFICER BY THE LOOKS
OF IT, YOU WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO
TELL THE UNIFORMS ARE PRETTY
MUCH IDENTICAL TO THAT OF A
SWORN OFFICER, HOWEVER, IS
CAPTAIN TANYA LEONARD GILBERT
EXPLAINS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS
THAT THESE OFFICERS ARE SOLELY
VOLUNTEERING. IT’S AMAZING TO
HAVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO
VOLUNTEER TO COME IN AND SUPPORT
US. AND WHILE THESE MEN AREN’T
BEING PAID, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN
PERSONAL REASONS FOR JOINING THE
FORCE TO HELP A LITTLE BIT.
LEROY ON THE OTHER HAND, IS FROM
BUFFALO, NEW YORK. BUT DECIDED
TO OFFER SERVICES FOLLOWING THE
TRAGIC EVENTS OF THE TOP
SUPERMARKET SHOOTING. NEVER HAD
NOTHING LIKE THAT TO HAPPEN IN
BUFFALO THAT HAPPEN ON
JEFFERSON. LIKE IT DID THAT
PROBABLY MORE, FIRING ME. EITHER
WAY, THE IMPACT MADE ON THE
COMMUNITY WILL BE POWERFUL, THE
FACT THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING
TO VOLUNTEER AFTER WORKING A DAY
JOB OR DOING THEIR LIVES IS
PHENOMENAL. THEY SHOULD BE
COMMENDED. AND OUR HEARTS
THEY’RE HEROES TO THE VERY END
OF THIS NINE WEEK PROGRAM. THERE
IS GOING TO BE AN INDUCTION
CEREMONY FOR ALL THE NEW
RESERVES. IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE
TO GET INVOLVED YOURSELVES HEAD
OVER TO CLICKONDETROIT.COM TO
FIND OUT WAYS TO DO SO. VICTOR
WILLIAMS, FOR LOCAL VICTOR,
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR,
TUTOR DIXON, UNVEILING HER PLAN
FOR PUBLIC SAFETY TODAY IN GRAND
RAPIDS, PLEDGING TO SPEND A
BILLION DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT
FOUR YEARS ON POLICING ACROSS
THE STATE SHOULD SHE WIN IN
NOVEMBER. MICHIGAN FAMILIES
SUPPORT OUR PUBLIC SAFETY
OFFICIALS. MICHIGAN VOTERS
BELIEVE WE NEED TO FUND THE
POLICE, NOT DEFUND THE POLICE. I
NOVEMBER 8TH. I’M CONFIDENT
MICHIGAN BOATERS WILL REJECT
THOSE LIKE GRETCHEN WHITMER WHO
HAVE EITHER IGNORED OR ENABLED.
THIS PROBLEM TURNED THEIR BACKS
ON THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO EVERY
DAY HAVE HAD OUR BACKS AND SEND
A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT WE NEED
MORE POLICE AND FEWER VIOLENT
CRIMES PLAN INCLUDES $700
MILLION TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN
POLICE OFFICERS WITH ANOTHER 250
MILLION ON EQUIPMENT AND
TRAINING. YOU SAW THERE, PERHAPS
TO HER LEFT HER RUNNING MATE,
SHANE HERNANDEZ, HE SAID. THE
BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT WOULD
BE PAID FOR BY USING THE SURPLUS
IN THE GENERAL FUND, IN A
STATEMENT PROVIDED TO BRIDGE MAC
, MICHIGAN WHITMER CAMPAIGN
RESPONDED BY SAYING THE GOVERNOR
IS COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH
ANYONE TO REDUCE CRIME AND IS
INCREASED RESOURCES TO HIRE MORE
POLICE. TURN OUR ATTENTION
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AGAIN AS
TOMORROW THE ROYAL FAMILY WILL
ESCORT QUEEN ELIZABETH COFFIN
FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE TO
WESTMINSTER. TODAY. HER COFFIN
WAS MOVED FROM SCOTLAND TO
LONDON, WHERE MOURNERS HAVE
ALREADY GATHERED OUTSIDE
WESTMINSTER HALL, WHERE SHE WILL
LIE IN STATE UNTIL HER FUNERAL
MONDAY ABOUT 750,000 ARE
EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FOUR
