Yes please AA.com, stop "reporting" on Ypsi. Some of us care about the future of this city and we hate to see the ways in which you represent us. You don't want to pay anyone to actually cover what is happening here, so you pull stuff off the crime blotter. Its unethical, unprofessional, and comes pretty close to racial and class profiling. Please pay good journalists like Tom Perkins (who always does an EXCELLENT job covering Ypsi) to up his coverage, or simply stop writing about us. Can anyone lead me to a better source for news on Ypsi? This is just frustrating...

All Officers/Police investigate 24/7. The Officers we have, have their hands full. (over full) Their calls are not only break-ins. Fights, Gun shots, they often stage for HVA and the Fire Departments. They are even called from out of state to check the welfare of friends and family menbers. Many calls from people that someone is trying to kill themselves. It just goes on and on. The dispatch folks are very busy also. (and excellent) If one doesn't like the little they read here, get a Police scanner. The calls that really tick me off are ones like, can't control my 10 or 13 year old, (whoop butt) parents need to be pro-active. I have nothing but praise for everyone that cares and gives their all for citizen safety, health and life.

once again - facebook is way ahead and way more accurate that A2.com. Cover it well, or don't cover it. Covering our crime blotter with a good news story about a church subsidizing gas purchases is um...not news

Ypsilanti has a lot of A2 residence living here now, I know I'm one. I still own houses in the A2 area, and I just find it more economic to live here and rent the A2 houses. I grew up there, and have many friends who still live there, so A2 news should flow into Ypsilanti, and it should have the same respectful writing as anywhere else. Maybe A2,com should report the unemployment rate in Ypsilanti, do to corporations just pulling out and leaving the city to rot, after they used and abused the good citizens of Ypsilanti. The federal government should have a law about this kind of corporate behavior. Oh, I just remembered that it's the corporations who are running the show now. Gosh, I wonder how that happened??...

I don't know what's worse, the fact that aa.com let's its writers copy and paste from the crime blotter and call it an original work or that they consider this a front page headline. Either way, yor coverage of news in Ypsilanti is making me miss the a2 news.
