Dr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-carson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Carson</a> is a paragon of the American dream: raised by a poor single mother who forced him to <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">read</a> books instead of watching television in his spare time, he was able to lift himself from poverty in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/detroit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Detroit</a> and become a renowned neurosurgeon. In response to his four years of service in the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/trump-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump administration</a>, community members pressed the city’s school board to scrub his name from the school christened in his honor.
Carson reacted to the decision earlier this week during an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/ben-carson-name-removed-detroit-high-school-ideology-trumping-purpose-institutions.amp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
&#8220;We&#8217;re seeing this wokeness spreading throughout our community to the destruction of our community,” he remarked. “How does it do any good for us to demonize people with whom we disagree and to teach that to our children at a time when the math scores are down, the reading scores are down, academic performance is down?&#8221;
Residents began pushing for officials in the Detroit Public Schools Community District to rename the Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine soon after the physician was confirmed to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2017. One board member said that residents of the impoverished rust belt city “don’t support” the Trump administration, according to an <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/restricted/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.detroitnews.com%2Fstory%2Fopinion%2Fcolumnists%2Fnolan-finley%2F2022%2F12%2F14%2Ffinley-dps-cancels-ben-carson-sends-awful-message%2F69727506007%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion piece</a> in The Detroit News. Board member Sherry Gay-Dagnogo said that she has “received so many requests” from community members about Carson’s name due to the “many of the disparaging remarks he made from the administration that he clings to,” according to a <a href="https://detroit.chalkbeat.org/2022/9/28/23376807/detroit-public-schools-ben-carson-east-english-village-name-change-dpscd-finney-crockett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Chalkbeat Detroit.
The opposition occurs even though Carson, who is black, had widely been regarded as a model for students seeking to lift themselves from difficult circumstances. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Yale University and a medical degree from the University of Michigan, later becoming the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University at the age of 33, even though such opportunities were difficult to attain for African Americans at the time. He pioneered the use of hemispherectomies to treat severe pediatric epilepsies and successfully conducted several high-risk operations on conjoined twins.
Last month&#8217;s vote to change the name of the high school, which is <a href="https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/michigan/districts/detroit-public-schools-community-district/benjamin-carson-high-school-of-science-and-medicine-147442" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three-quarters</a> black, reportedly occurred even though the majority of students who responded to a recent poll did not want to change the school&#8217;s name. Among multiple students opposing the name change interviewed by Chalkbeat Detroit in September was junior Antavia Ellis: “That’s the whole reason I came to this school, because I want to become a surgeon.”
Dozens of staffers who worked under Carson in the federal government penned an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/worked-ben-carson-know-canceling-just-not-right" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion piece</a> published by Fox News likewise condemning the move. “The truth is, Dr. Carson should have dozens of schools named after him,” they wrote. “We firmly believe removing the name of a man like this leaves us all the worse off for it, especially the students this political stunt purports to set an example for. We hope each student aspires to be the type of leader Dr. Carson is: a compassionate and humble man that cares deeply about the future of our children.”
The retired physician, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008, also leads the Carson Scholars Fund, which <a href="https://carsonscholars.org/scholarships/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grants</a> college scholarships to students who demonstrate academic excellence and community service. A devout Seventh-Day Adventist, he often speaks of his faith as a critical factor behind his successes.

Wayne County GOP Chairwoman Cheryl Costantino said the woman attempted to move toward the stage, but Costantino stepped in and blocked her; that’s when she felt a bite on her arm.
“She was acting so chaotic that I was worried she would go after the speakers or something or hurt somebody,” Costantino said.
“I&#8217;ve never been bit by an adult in my life, or anyone over 5,” she added after the bizarre incident. Costantino said that her arm bruised and was in pain in the days following the incident.

The Dearborn Public School district is also looking into the allegations made against one of its teachers. The woman denied all allegations and claimed she had been the one attacked.
The county Republican chairwoman said no one should resort to any sort of violence over political disagreements. &#8220;It&#8217;s not worth going to jail over or getting charges brought against you,&#8221; Costantino commented. &#8220;It&#8217;s one thing to fight for what you believe in, but not physically.&#8221;

The scene comes shortly after another concerning injury involving Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Thursday. The former Alabama star was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-star-nfl-quarterback-rushed-to-the-hospital-after-devastating-hit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rushed to the hospital</a> by ambulance after sustaining a head injury from a sack by a defensive lineman for the Cincinnati Bengals.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The injury was also controversial since Tagovailoa&#8217;s status had been questioned over a hit that led to him stumbling after a play by Matt Milano of the Buffalo Bills. Many argued that the star quarterback should not have returned to the game, suspecting he sustained a concussion.
On Saturday, the NFL and NFL Players Association released a <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-nflpa-joint-statement-on-investigation-into-handling-of-dolphins-qb-tua-tago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joint statement</a> regarding the handling of Taovailoa&#8217;s concussion protocol.
&#8220;While the investigation determined that the team medical staff and unaffiliated medical professionals followed the steps of the Protocol as written, the NFL and NFLPA agree that the outcome in this case is not what was intended when the Protocols were drafted,&#8221; the statement read.
&#8220;As such, as has been done in previous cases, based on the advice of the parties&#8217; respective medical experts, the Protocol will be modified to enhance the safety of the players,&#8221; it added.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michigan">Michigan</a> man charged with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder">murdering</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/detroit">Detroit</a> radio news anchor Jim Matthews and injuring his family was on supervised release when he allegedly committed the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/crime">crime</a>.
Arthur Levan Williamson, 55, has been charged with one count of first-degree <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">homicide</a>, homicide felony murder, two counts of intent to murder, and three counts of unlawful imprisonment in the attack on Matthews’ family, which occurred late last week. Matthews, the overnight anchor at WWJ-AM for the past seven years, was killed in the attack.
Williamson was on probation when he allegedly committed the murder and attacks, and one of the conditions of his supervised release was that he would not commit any crimes, Law &amp; Crime <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/michigan-man-on-supervised-release-charged-with-murdering-detroit-radio-news-anchor-and-attacking-the-victims-girlfriend-and-children/">reported</a>. Prison records show Williamson has a history of committing violent crimes, including a 2013 breaking and entering offense during which Williamson assaulted a police officer. He was convicted of assault with the intent to murder, kidnapping, and multiple weapons offenses. He was placed on supervised release on June 5, 2019.
While Matthews was killed, his girlfriend and 5-year-old daughter were both hospitalized, and his 10-year-old son is in critical condition after apparently trying to fight off the attacker.
Ashley Quigley, the sister of Matthews’ girlfriend Nicole Guertin, started <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/helping-some-kids?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&amp;utm_medium=copy_link_all&amp;utm_source=customer">a GoFundMe page</a> to raise money for the family. On Monday, she posted an update to say her sister and niece were in stable condition. Her nephew has had more difficulty and was “forced to undergo brain surgery and ear surgery” over the weekend.
“Thankfully, his surgery was very successful, and after some tests and scans, his neck was deemed okay. He was able to take off his C-Collar which helped make the swelling in his face go down. He is still sedated while he heals, but he can move both sides of his body,” Quigley wrote on Monday.
Police received a call Friday afternoon from Guertin, who said she had been violently attacked in her home and that she and her daughter had “escaped.” Matthews’ brother, Joe Nicolai, <a href="https://www.wxyz.com/news/local-news/its-not-even-something-youd-see-in-a-horror-movie-chesterfield-murder-victims-brother-describes-fridays-tragedy">told</a> WXYZ-TV that Guertin had apparently been restrained before she could escape.
“Nicole, my brother’s girlfriend, was laying out in the parking lot and was duct-taped and bleeding so my wife went out to hold her hand,” Nicolai told the outlet. “It’s not even something you’d see in a horror movie.”
Williamson, the accused attacker, reportedly knew the family and was a frequent visitor to their home, police told media outlets. He was found in the home’s basement with a self-inflicted wound and an apparent overdose, Law &amp; Crime <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/not-even-something-youd-see-in-a-horror-movie-gruesome-details-emerge-in-attack-that-left-michigan-news-anchor-dead-and-his-family-hospitalized/">reported</a>. It is still unclear just how he knew the family or his motive for allegedly attacking them.
“There is no motive, I don’t know why he was in the house. I talked to the lead investigator, and my brother probably came home to this. He comes home about 5:30 in the morning and was probably surprised and attacked,” Nicolai told WXYZ-TV. “I believe that [Matthews’ son] was trying to fight off this man that was attacking and trying to kill his father, and that’s how [the son] ended up injured and tied and put into a closet.”

Police are searching for suspects who stole at least a dozen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ford-motor-co" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ford</a> Mustangs from a manufacturing plant in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan</a>.
Police in the city of Woodhaven, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, are searching for thieves who stole between 12 and 15 Ford Mustangs from the Flat Rock Assembly Plant, <a href="https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/at-least-12-new-ford-mustangs-stolen-from-flat-rock-assembly-plant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox 2 Detroit</a> reported. Two of the stolen cars have been recovered already. The cars were stolen from a parking lot across the street from the facility. The brazen theft was followed by another theft at a Jeep manufacturing plant on the same day.
&#8220;12 to 15 new Mustangs were stolen from a lot in Woodhaven across from the Flat Rock assembly plant,&#8221; Fox 2 reporter Charlie Langton <a href="https://twitter.com/charlielangton/status/1569666982576029698?s=20&amp;t=sUZbivefuUlOzMSBVYFoeQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. &#8220;#Police recovered two of the Mustangs. This is the second time in a week that vehicles were stolen from this lot.&#8221;
Police said the cars were stolen from the lot at around 2 a.m. local time Tuesday morning. Langton reported that the cars were last seen driving northbound on Interstate 75. It was also the second such theft in the span of less than a week. Last Thursday, thieves stole another dozen Mustangs from the same lot, local radio station <a href="https://www.audacy.com/wwjnewsradio/news/local/over-a-dozen-ford-mustangs-stolen-off-lot-in-woodhaven?utm_campaign=www.audacy.com%252Fwwjnewsradio&amp;utm_content=1663074050&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook,twitter&amp;utm_term=WWJ-AM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WWJ</a> reported. Woodhaven Police detective Adam Ruffner told WWJ that the vehicles are each worth an estimated $60,000.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not an isolated incident,&#8221; Woodhaven Deputy Police Chief Jeffrey Brust told Fox 2. &#8220;I&#8217;m sure these teams have been arranged, probably have a decent leadership, they know what they&#8217;re where they&#8217;re going, they know where the easier targets are.”
Two of the stolen vehicles were recovered on Monday, Ruffner told WWJ. One of them was located in Woodhaven, while another, stolen in a previous robbery, was found in Tennessee. The plant does experience a few thefts per year, but Ruffner said that this number is unusual.
The heist at the Ford facility was followed closely by another one on the other side of the Detroit metro area. Several Jeep Wagoneer SUVs were stolen after thieves broke into a Stellantis manufacturing plant on 8 Mile Road in the city of Warren, at around 5:30 a.m. local time.
Video from the scene, taken by <a href="https://twitter.com/charlielangton/status/1569623775087312899?s=20&amp;t=sUZbivefuUlOzMSBVYFoeQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Langton</a>, showed that police had recovered two of the vehicles and were loading them onto tow trucks. The suspects escaped with an unknown number of other vehicles. Much of the police presence was across the road at the plant itself; the suspects reportedly smashed through the gate and took the vehicles from the parking lot.
&#8220;We&#8217;re looking at five or six vehicles at least, and they were the high-priced Wagoneers,&#8221; Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer told Fox 2. &#8220;When the guard came out he started to close the gate, they smashed the gate and luckily he wasn&#8217;t seriously injured.&#8221; Dwyer said the theft was a professional operation. &#8220;[They were] professionals to the extent that they know what to do and how to do it,&#8221; he said.
It is not known whether the incidents are related.
The two thefts on Tuesday morning follow what local news outlets report is a continuing trend. Police arrested two 19-year-olds outside a General Motors plant in Lansing after they attempted to steal a pair of brand new <a href="https://www.mlive.com/news/2022/09/thieves-caught-after-stealing-camaros-from-lansing-gm-plant.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chevrolet Camaros</a> from the Grand River Plant. In August, Detroit Police arrested three young boys, aged <a href="https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/detroit-police-arrest-three-kids-11-12-and-14-trying-to-steal-new-dodge-chargers-and-challengers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">11, 12, and 14</a> while they were trying to steal brand new Dodge Hellcat Chargers and Challengers from a factory in the city. WWJ cited at least three more incidents that took place over the summer.

Former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-nfl-rookie-channels-king-of-pop-and-hes-so-good-a-teammate-rips-off-his-shirt">Detroit Lions</a> cornerback Stanley Wilson Jr. was arrested after he allegedly broke into a $30 million <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood">Hollywood</a> mansion, raided the home, and took a bath in an outdoor fountain on August 24.
The 39-year-old’s latest break-in was allegedly his second at the same property, causing damages of at least $5,000. Wilson Jr., who is the son of former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nfl">NFL</a> running back/fullback Stanley Wilson Sr., was charged with two counts of felony vandalism and one count of second-degree burglary, TMZ Sports <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/09/02/nfl-stanley-wilson-arrested-breaking-into-home-bath-outside-fountain-detroit-lions/">reported</a>.
In 2016, Wilson Jr. attempted to break into another home in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/portland">Portland</a> while he was naked and was shot in the stomach. Just months later, the ex-NFLer was arrested for taking a nude stroll around a Portland neighborhood. Then, in February of 2017, Wilson Jr. was again busted for breaking into another home in his birthday suit. As part of the sentencing for his 2016 attempted break-in, Wilson Jr. was forced to go through drug treatment.
Wilson Jr. was drafted by Detroit in the third round of the 2005 draft and played for only two seasons before tearing his achilles, an injury that ended his career. His father, the former Cincinnati Bengals running back Wilson Sr., struggled with cocaine and also had run-ins with the law.
Wilson Sr. infamously had a relapse the night before his team’s Super Bowl matchup with Joe Montana’s San Francisco 49ers in 1989. Twenty minutes after Wilson Sr. told some of his teammates that he was grabbing his playbook before a team meeting, his position coach Jim Anderson found him in the bathroom high on cocaine.
The Bengals were forced to keep Wilson Sr. off the Super Bowl roster, and the team’s former coach Sam Wyche partially blamed their 20-16 defeat on the loss of Wilson Sr. The running back was then banned from the NFL for life since it was his third violation of the league’s drug policy. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison for burglary in 1999.

The rookie defensive end&#8217;s performance aired Tuesday on the premiere episode of the HBO series &#8220;Hard Knocks&#8221; — made in partnership with NFL Films — which follows an NFL team through the annual pre-season <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/aaron-rodgers-shows-up-for-training-camp-dressed-as-nic-cage-from-con-air/">training cam</a>p.

Making the rookies sing in front of their teammates is apparently a <a href="https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2022/08/10/aidan-hutchinson-lions-billie-jean-hard-knocks">rite of passage</a> of sorts on &#8220;Hard Knocks&#8221; and while some might be embarrassed to be put on the spot in such fashion, Hutchinson appeared to fully embrace the experience. Dancing and strutting back and forth, he sang alone until his teammates eventually began to nod their heads and sing along with him.
<blockquote>People always told me be careful of what you do 
And don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts 
And mother always told me be careful of who you love 
And be careful of what you do ’cause the lie becomes the truth</blockquote>
By the end of the song, the atmosphere was electric — dozens of Hutchinson&#8217;s teammates were singing and dancing along to the iconic lyrics: &#8220;Billie Jean is not my lover, She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one, But the kid is not my son.&#8221;
Hutchinson got the team so wrapped up in the performance that one of his teammates <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2022/8/10/23299925/aidan-hutchinson-billie-jean-karaoke-hard-knocks">ripped off his shirt</a>, tossing it toward the front of the room. Another teammate quickly snagged the shirt out of the air, and without missing a beat, began waving it like a flag as he continued to sing and dance along.
&#8220;Why is no one talking about the best part of this Aidan Hutchinson singing clip?&#8221; @FreeMotorcadeee asked in a tweet. &#8220;Dude in the 2nd row rips his shirt off, throws it to the front row and the dude in the yellow no look catches it and immediately starts waving it. Most electric moment of the episode.&#8221;

Former Detroit Lions defensive back William White died late last week at the age of 56 after battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig&#8217;s disease, a sickness named after the baseball player who was diagnosed with it.
White played college football at Ohio State University before being selected in the fourth round of the 1988 NFL draft by Detroit, where he played six seasons. White later went on to play three seasons with Kansas City Chiefs and two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.
&#8220;We share in the sadness felt today throughout the NFL community following the news of William White’s passing,&#8221; the team tweeted. &#8220;Drafted by the Lions in the 4th round of the 1988 Draft out of Ohio State, White played 6 seasons in Detroit (1988-1993) &amp; appeared in 95 games (79 starts) for the club.&#8221;
Chris Spielman, Lions Special Assistant to President/CEO and Chairperson, remembered White in a touching statement posted to the team&#8217;s Twitter account.
&#8220;I loved William. We share experiences of joy and sorrow on and off the field. He was and always will be my brother,&#8221; Spielman said. &#8220;I am forever grateful for the special moment last year when he was able to be by my side during the Pride of the Lions ceremony at Ford Field. I can&#8217;t wait to see him again when he will be free from ALS. May God&#8217;s peace rest upon his family.&#8221;
White&#8217;s son, Brendon White, paid tribute to his dad online with a statement, writing: &#8220;I love you Dad! Keep watching down on us I know you gonna watch over and protect us. I promise with all my heart you’ll see me in a NFL jersey as we promised each other! We love and miss you! I promise to make you proud. U always taught me no one or thing determines my success.&#8221;

&#8220;When I heard about his diagnosis years ago I was in shock,&#8221; ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit <a href="https://twitter.com/KirkHerbstreit/status/1552840644653203457">wrote</a> on Twitter. &#8220;He fought it like you’d expect, with uncommon valor. Known his family for many years-my thoughts and prayers to Nikol, their children, and the rest of the White family. So sorry for your loss.&#8221;
ALS is a rare neurodegenerative disease that damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that are responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements, according to the <a href="https://www.ninds.nih.gov/amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis-als-fact-sheet">National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke</a>. The disease worsens over time in those afflicted with it, and there are no cures or treatments available to slow down how fast patients deteriorate.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/detroit">Detroit</a>-based vegan ice cream shop has come under fire for its policy to refuse to serve armor-clad <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police">police officers</a>.
Cold Truth owner owner Tim Mahoney shared his store&#8217;s new policy via an Instagram story Thursday. The post showed a Detroit Police car parked on the wrong side of the street in front of the shop with a caption that read, “we can tolerate the parking however you please, but we will not serve anyone wearing body armor.”
Mahoney followed up later with a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/facebook">Facebook</a> post that clarified the position.
“Cold Truth is a family/community ice cream spot. There are times when various units come through and are outfitted in heavy duty tactical gear, it is disturbing and unsettling for some of the families in our space,” the post <a href="https://www.facebook.com/coldtruth313">said</a>. 
“In the last 24 hours It has come to my attention that the City of Detroit outfits EMS and FIRE with armor and this is not my concern. It’s the heavy duty military dress that I’m hoping the city can find a way to minimize in our public spaces.”
Screenshots of the original post caught fire online, which resulted in dozens of readers flooding the establishment with one-star reviews, ABC affiliate WXYZ Detroit <a href="https://www.wxyz.com/news/detroit-ice-cream-shop-defends-online-post-saying-police-in-body-armor-wont-be-served">reported</a>. 
“We’re definitely getting national people kind of coming in and weighing in and calling and stuff like that,” owner Tim Mahoney told the outlet. “It&#8217;s unfortunate people are spending their time doing this.”
The ice cream shop owner said they’ve never turned law enforcement away.
“(We&#8217;re) not anti-police,&#8221; Mahoney continued. &#8220;We just think the militarization of the dress and the cars being blacked out, it’s intimidating.”
“I am vehemently against the heavy tactical gear and I want to be apart of the conversation that minimizes that,&#8221; Mahoney said. “It&#8217;s just the uniform, it&#8217;s the Kevlar, it’s that dress. We ask that after the shift, please come by.”
Detroit Police Department Chief James White blasted the shop for its stance in a statement. 
&#8220;Law enforcement is a dangerous profession,&#8221; White wrote. &#8220;Body armor provides our officers protection and is an essential part of the police uniform. It is the desire of each and every member of the Detroit Police Department to fulfill their duties as a law enforcement officer and at the end of their shift return home to their loved ones.&#8221;
Many members of the community seemed to side with the police.
“You know, police officers wear body armor for the same reason firefighters and paramedics do,” one Facebook comment with almost 500 likes says. “People shoot at them, and they need to be protected. And if you ever saw pictures of the armor military personnel wear, you would know that it is not the same. But, you hate cops, so you should just admit that.”
“As some who has lived in Detroit all my life and I’m not talking about the surrounding areas of Detroit, as a black female with black brothers/sisters, as someone who has protested police brutality, as someone with family in some of the worst parts of Detroit. I’m tired of y’all fake woke liberals,” another person wrote. 
“We literally have one of the deadliest zip codes in the country just a few weeks ago multiple police cars were lit up on different days. If them walking around with gear on to keep safe makes you uncomfortable go back to the suburbs. If you live in Detroit you should know downtown is wild in the summer period.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">President Joe Biden</a> turned <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/detroit">Detroit</a> into a punchline in a speech to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/labor-unions">big labor</a> Tuesday.
Speaking to the AFL-CIO, Biden cracked that his former boss always gave him the toughest assignments. Former President Obama, who once reportedly advised to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/shop/products/dont-underestimate-biden-t-shirt">never &#8220;underestimate Joe’s ability to f&#8212; things up,”</a> once told his vice president to mend the Motor City.
&#8220;President Obama used to give me all the good assignments. Well, I remember one day, he walked in, not a joke and said, &#8216;Joe, fix Detroit,’” Biden recalled. “I said, &#8216;Ok, no problem.&#8217; No, you think I&#8217;m kidding? You think I&#8217;m kidding? What I didn&#8217;t realize is I didn’t know a lot about the cities.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&quot;What I didn&#39;t realize is (unintelligible) the cities!&quot; <a href="https://t.co/RP68FqRF1u">pic.twitter.com/RP68FqRF1u</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Biden even crossed himself as he spoke, seemingly at the thought of the daunting task of addressing the Michigan city&#8217;s problems. He was speaking at the AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia, where he urged labor leaders to take up the “fight” in support of his agenda.
If Obama indeed did ask Biden to &#8220;fix Detroit,&#8221; it appears not to have been a mission he accomplished. In 2020, Detroit had a rate of 2,248.4 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, behind only Memphis as the highest rate in the country among big cities. The same year, Detroit had a homicide rate of 49.7 for every 100,000 people, while the national average was  just 6.5 per 100,000.
While speaking to the friendly big labor audience, Biden blasted what he decried as the “ultra-MAGA” wing of the Republican Party.
“I believe in bipartisanship. But I have no illusions about this Republican Party. … The fact is Republicans in Congress are still in the grip of the ultra-MAGA agenda,” he claimed.
Making fun of what was once labor&#8217;s biggest stronghold when General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler turned out American cars and assembly line jobs paid big wages didn&#8217;t seem to rankle the audience, which laughed along with Biden&#8217;s story. Biden’s appearance before the AFL-CIO — and his staunch support for unions as a whole &#8212; is standard Democratic politics, say conservative critics.
“Given that Big Labor’s forced dues political war chest was critical to putting Joe Biden in the White House, it’s no surprise he is going to the AFL-CIO convention to kiss the ring,” Mark Mix, president of the National Right To Work Committee, said in a statement to The Daily Wire prior to the president’s speech.

NBA Hall of Fame player Bob Lanier passed away on Tuesday at the age of 73.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver released a statement noting that Lanier died following a short illness. Lanier was previously treated for bladder cancer in 2019.
&#8220;Bob Lanier was a Hall of Fame player and among the most talented centers in the history of the NBA, but his impact on the league went far beyond what he accomplished on the court. For more than 30 years, Bob served as our global ambassador and as a special assistant to David Stern and then me, traveling the world to teach the game&#8217;s values and make a positive impact on young people everywhere,&#8221; Silver wrote.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;It was a labor of love for Bob, who was one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever been around. His enormous influence on the NBA was also seen during his time as President of the National Basketball Players Association, where he played a key role in the negotiation of a game-changing collective bargaining agreement,&#8221; Silver added.
Silver noted Lanier as a close friend and inspiration to many in the NBA and beyond.
&#8220;I learned so much from Bob by simply watching how he connected with people. He was a close friend who I will miss dearly, as will so many of his colleagues across the NBA who were inspired by his generosity. We send our deepest condolences to Bob&#8217;s family and friends,&#8221; Silver stated.
Lanier played for 14 seasons in the NBA and was an eight-time All-Star, playing for both the Detroit Pistons, who drafted him in 1970 from St. Bonaventure, and the Milwaukee Bucks.
&#8220;The Detroit Pistons organization is deeply saddened by the passing [of] Bob Lanier, a true legend who meant so much to the city of Detroit and to generations of Pistons fans,&#8221; Pistons owner Tom Gores said in a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/11/sport/nba-bob-lanier-obit/index.html">statement</a> Wednesday.
&#8220;As fierce and as dominant as Bob was on the court, he was equally kind and impactful in the community,&#8221; Gores said. &#8220;As an ambassador for both the Pistons organization and the NBA, he represented our league, our franchise and our fans with great passion and integrity.&#8221;
The Milwaukee Bucks also released a statement following Lanier&#8217;s passing.
&#8220;Bob Lanier was known throughout the community for his generosity and kindness. His legacy is forever enshrined in the rafters at Fiserv Forum. We send our deepest condolences to Bob&#8217;s family and friends,&#8221; the team shared.

He also ranks third on the Pistons’ career list in both points and rebounds.
&#8220;Lanier was Detroit’s career leader in points and rebounds before he was passed by Isiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer in those categories, and his single-game franchise record of 33 rebounds was topped by Dennis Rodman,&#8221; the AP reported.

On Tuesday, just before 1 p.m. a shooter allegedly injured multiple people at Oxford High School in a suburban area roughly 45 miles north of Detroit.
“A suspected shooter is in custody, according to Michael McCabe, undersheriff with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office,” <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/multiple-people-injured-shooting-oxford-high-school-michigan-officials-rcna7128?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma">NBC News</a> reported. “A handgun was also located, he said. …  McCabe said between four to six people have been injured.&#8221;

Later in the day, officials with the Oakland County Sheriff&#8217;s department said that three students had been killed, and an additional six more people had been injured. One of those people injured was a teacher, according to officials.
