The story on David Kanapsky has caused the city of Warren a "black-eye" nationally. In this age of Internet and viral reach, such a story travels great distances in a matter of seconds. The city of Warren, the Mayor's office and other related city officials have all heard from angry citizens who are outraged with the city and its district court system for allowing such a "loophole" to have "stolen" money from residents, voters, taxpayers and constituents in the Metro Detroit area. The media, in particular Channel 7 WXYZ, has done a tremendous job exposing this scam to the general public. Now, the Police Chief has finally decided to take some much needed actions in regards to cleaning up his police department's reputation.

This piece of news comes at the heel of Warren's Mayor Jim Fouts publicly denouncing such schemes and rackets in his city. It is very important that Mayor Fouts did this, because the entire country is waiting for his leadership and his response. All of us at 'Do Take It Personal' admire Mayor Fouts' courage in facing the issue and took full responsibility of it.
Not many high-ranking officials in this Greater Detroit area would have the courage to do something like that; Roseville Mayor Harold Haugh, Warren Deputy Police Chief Jere Green, Roseville Police Chief Michael Pachla, and of course Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, immediately comes to mind.
