‘Sex, Lies and Texting’

I've got a rhyme for the hip-hop mayor/ We were laughing then but were I'm crying later/ Ms. Beatty was my chief of staff / In the bedroom I'm the chief and she was riding my staff/ It's a such a shame that it can to come to this/ We were having fun but but now we're in the abyss/ First I got in trouble for the Navigator/ Damn! I'm in the doghouse again/See you later!!

Christine Beatty, you lucky dog, you!!

............

.....Well, Christine Beatty (Chief of Staff) just RESIGNED, but the Mayor is still in hiding. It is Monday afternoon and we have not seen or heard from him since LAST Wednesday. Boy, THAT'S leadership!

Obviously, movedout and doctorjay want to turn this into a racial story as well. I was born in raised in Detroit, went to lawschool and still live in Detroit. I really don't care what color our mayor is as long as they are intelligent, motivated to help the city, and credible. Recent events show Kilpatrick is not credible. No matter what your color, perjury takes away your credibility. As an attorney, I think Kilpatrick should be disbarred for lying under oath. As a resident of Detroit, I think that he needs to step down or be recalled.

I recently moved out of Michigan for more work but I am still watching. People act shocked that this sort of stuff keeps happening. Why? We knew what we were getting when he was elected the second time. These types of problems are just what you get when a mayor is elected based on Bling and street cret. Sad as it sounds, politics is a game and thats the election game in Detroit. The kind of suit you wear and your "swagger" are how you get elected in "The D". Nobody in the City cares because this is minor compared to what they see every day. By getto standards, this is hardly worth mentioning. People, why do you care about a city full of people that would rather shoot you and steal your shoes. Why do you care about a city that would rather put a Cadilac in the driveway instead of caring for their children?

Kilpatrick needs to resign now. Mayor Kilpatrick cannot and should not be allowed to think that the law doesn't apply to him. I am a proud Detroiter and what makes me proud is the city which I live in not the person who represents the city. The city of Detroit has gotten through much worst as a city and this is just another part of our city's history. Detroit needs strong leadership. And the leadership MUST have INTERGRITY. Mayor Kilpatrick have totally taken the citizens love, trust, and support for you for granted. He 's went as far as lying under oath, firing detroit police officers for doing their jobs, being linked to the murder of an exoctic dancer, and costing the citizens over 9 million dollars (at a time where the city/state is going through its own recession. I am a military vet who defends his country and only want great leadership within our own borders.

Kilpatrick must resign now. If not at least take a leave of absence until the investigation is concluded. This is not just about lyiing under oath. This is covering up an investigation by two police officers surrounding the Mayor's lavish and loose lifestyle which could have resulted in a exotic dancers murder. It was rumored that Ms. Kilpatrick did get into a physical altercation with the dancer know as "Strawberry". Then she strangely ended up murdered. Mayor Kilpatrick did lie under oath and some want us to think it was to hide an exteranl affair, but it may be more he's hiding. The Mayor could have settled this case prior to going to court for only 100,000 dollars, but his arrogance got the best of him. and it cost the city 9 million. Detroit citizens have slowing been moving out of the city because of the fear of safety (crime rate increase), children education (closed numerous schools), and many more ongoing problems.

I left Detroit over 47 years ago to join the Air Force and travel the world. Since then, I have retired, and now woking for the Federal Government, currently stationed in Korea. I cannot believe the mess that has involved or tarnish the reputation of our great city. We are caught in difficult situation. If Kilpatrick leaves, we loose all of the good things that he has done or is doing. If we let him stay, then we are condoning his actions. My recommendations is let him stay, slap him on his hands hard, and dont elect him again. I am sure that their are better qualified individuals to talk the helm of our great city. Good luck Detroit

It won't allow me to post the link but you can do a search for "760 WJR news talk radio Norman Yatooma comments about the cover up of the Manoogian Mansion party"

Tamara Greene's son's attorney, Norman Yatooma of Birmingham, was interviewed on WJR radio a few days ago. Here is the link:

DETROIT MAY PAY ANOTHER $150 MILLION DOLLARS!!

From the DETROIT NEWS Dec, 2007

According to the Local 4 News report, Tamara Green was reportedly working as a dancer at the rumored mansion party and allegedly got into an altercation with the mayor's wife.
Green was shot and killed during a drive-by shooting after the alleged party, and her family believes it was a deliberate attack to keep her from talking to officers who were investigating the rumored party.

The lawsuit, according to Local 4 News, is on behalf of Johnathan Bond, Green's 14-year-old son. The lawsuit alleges Kilpatrick and members of the city's police department tried to block the investigation.
"I"m the boy's daddy. Not one time did the Detroit Police Department call me and say, 'Hey what do you know about your son's mother's death,' " said Ernest Flagg, who is Bond's father. "He's asking a number of questions. He's asking specific questions, I don't have answers for."
Flagg said the lawsuit is a way to force the mayor and others involved to talk, under oath, about the case.
According to the court documents, investigators described Green's slaying as a "deliberate hit" and concluded the gun and bullets used in the shooting were the same type issued to Detroit police officers.
Court records also showed that one detective looking into the possibility that a police officer was involved in the killing had her computer files erased and her investigative notes stolen from a locked file.
"I'm not surprised the files were erased, stolen and other things done to short-stop her from the truth," said Flagg.
The city of Detroit has already paid out millions of dollars to two police officers who filed a whistle blowers lawsuit over the rumored party investigation. That case involved officers who claimed they were fired or reassigned for investigating the case.
The federal lawsuit filed on behalf of Green's son asked for $150 million, but Flagg insisted the case is not about money.
"He wants to know who killed his mother," explained Flagg. "Was his mother at this party? We love her but we can't bring her back. I tell my son that every other day."
Flagg said his son keeps press clippings, surfs the Internet and has heard the rumors at school about his mother's slaying and alleged cover-up.
"My son had a right to have his mother's death investigated," said Flagg.
A spokesperson for the mayor's office said the city could not comment on the lawsuit until it had a chance to review the case.
According to Flagg, there is a meeting scheduled for sometime in January with the city but that the family would not accept a settlement offer, if one is proposed.
Flagg said he and his son want to have those involved questioned in a court of law.

How it all started:

Sept/ Oct 2002: ""Rumored"" Manoogian Party/Carlita Kilpatrick showed up and beat up Stripper/Tamara Greene:

The FACTS:

Aril 30, 2003, Gary Brown issued memo about Tamara Grrene being at the Manoogian party and recieving a beating from the Mayo'rs wife and subsequently receiving medical treatment.

April 30, The VERY SAME NIGHT: Tamara Greene is Murdered (the bullets are the same calliber used in Detroit Police weapons).

(A possible second dancer who fled Detroit is tracked down in Atlanta and also killed)

6 days later...Gary Brown is fired.

At trial:

"He was not fired," Kilpatrick testified. "My understanding is he could go back to lieutenant ... but I think Mr. Brown chose to retire."
The text messages, however, use "fire" to describe Brown's departure. On May 15, 2003, Beatty wrote to Kilpatrick: "I'm sorry that we are going through this mess because of a decision that we made to fire Gary Brown. I will make sure that the next decision is much more thought out. Not regretting what was done at all. But thinking about how we can do things smarter."
Kilpatrick replied: "It had to happen though. I'm all the way with that!"

(Personal comment: Remember how the police officers were testifying about being afraid that the Mayor would have them and their families murdered? Not such a crazy idea now, is it??)

To the (few) people saying that he is a good Mayor overall and that this sexual scandal shouldn't put a stop too the good he is doing, I say this: As long as women (of all colors) do not feel SAFE inside a city, they will not move back and bring their family and their MONEY with them to invest in a city they feel is unsafe and on shakey ground. Period. What do you think goes through a suburban lady's mind when she sees the leader of a major city all pimped-out and acting like an animal on tv? She KNOWS that much of the African American youth in that city wants to emulate him...if Kwame can get away with it, THEY can probably get away with it too. Murder, drug-dealing, stealing...it's all a big joke to them. They (the majority of the Det A.A. community...not ALL, but MOST...) KNEW what a liar Kwame was and still reelected him!! The arrogance of the Detroit African Community is something I have never experienced anywhere else in the country. What I find funny however is that they like to act so "big" and yet it seems as if they cannot form a thought or opinion of their own without input from their "Pastor." LOL!! Man, if you are black and want to make some money, go to Detroit and become a minister of some sort. You can sucker your own people out of everything and drive a new Benz too!

It's easy to point fingers at those of a different nationality, race, or political party. The only problem with that is that you show your own lack of brains. Bad morals come in all races, and political parties. Maybe if some of you who wrote hateful comments baced on the obove would or could fairly pick up a paer and read it you would already know this.
