You’d think they’d have more pressing issues to deal with.
Following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the murder of Florida teen, Trayvon Martin, outraged citizens took to the streets in Detroit and gathered at the foot of the Pingree statue out sidehistoric Grand Circus Park where Occupy Detroit originally set up camp.

The Detroit City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution calling for a federal investigation to see whether civil rights charges are warranted against George Zimmerman, who was acquitted July 13 of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
The resolution, sponsored by Councilwoman JoAnn Watson, sparked a discussion over the need for city leaders and others to focus more on violence in Detroit.
“We need to have that same level of outrage with respect to the black-on-black crime that takes place in our community,” Councilman Kenneth Cockrel Jr. said. “How many people were shot — maybe even shot and killed this past weekend in the city — mostly likely by folks who look just like them?”
