Detroit police accused of 'kidnapping' homeless people, leaving them outside city limits

21. A couple of years ago our city hospital was given away to an investment company.

Note that Obamacare is about to make struggling urban hospitals profitable.

The city does not have the money to handle these mentally ill persons, everyone moved out of the city, the money is in the suburbs. The state won't release money to the City unless the city allows the state to take over what the city owns, e.g. the water department.

So, dropping off the mentally ill back inside Detroit to an area they don't know (because it's a large large city), perhaps an area drug-ridden crime-ridden, poor, maybe empty-abandoned, and in a poor city is meaner than dumping them in richer safer suburbs.

They could dump them in the park by my house at the edge of the city. If they still wanted to get back to the city center, they would still have to walk through the city of Dearborn. That would be the half-way point for that journey. It might be nicer just to leave them closer to Detroit's city center in Dearborn where Ford Motor company sits and funding for schools and police is replete.

I'm not in support of this dumping, but, I ask, who is the real dumper in this story. The police who put them in the van or the voters who vote in Republicans who let them live safely in areas where they can keep such problems off their streets by making some other poor area even poorer by having to pay for the problems they get to ignore.
