NORTHLAND MALL SHOOTING 

Activist, and Clergy are asking how Mackenzie Cochran ended up dead at Northland Mall after his last moments of life were caught on cell phone video, which shows him being pepper sprayed and restrained by three mall security officers. Family and activist will be at the Northland Mall to demand answers from management 

 Rev. Charles E. Williams II said “If these officers are still working, Northland Mall is not safe. This is an obvious excessive use of force. The video shows this incident has all the makings of police brutality.”

DETROIT RED WINGS NEW STADIUM

 one of the largest land transfers in the city’s history, the Detroit City Council agreed Tuesday to hand over 39 parcels of land along the Cass Corridor to transform what was once a blighted, crime-ridden strip near downtown Detroit into a $650-million entertainment venue that will include a new arena for the Detroit Red Wings.

The vote authorizes the city to sell the public land for $1 to the Detroit Downtown Development Authority, which will own the arena and lease it for up to 95 years to Olympia Development of Michigan. The company is owned by the Ilitch family, which owns the Red Wings.

The transfer is expected to revitalize a commercial dead zone between downtown and Midtown with a $450-million hockey arena anchoring what’s expected to be spin-off development of residential, entertainment, retail and office buildings worth $200 million.
