Detroit Mayor Bans Cameras from Police Raids
In response to the death of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones -- who was killed during a police raid with a camera crew for the A&E series The First 48 in tow -- Detroit mayor Dave Bing banned all reality show camera crews from police ride-alongs. Said Bing: "When we found out [that a camera crew was on the scene], I immediately called [Police Chief] Warren Evans and [deputy mayor] Saul Green and [said], 'That's the end of that.'"

That's right...cameras at the scene, what were they thinking?? Now there's evidence.
And of course what tapes they've seen from the night in question are "inconclusive." But Kwame Kilpatrick just got five years for violating probation, so Detroit justice is served!
