GUEST EDITORIAL By Minister Mary Edwards Film locale poor am not happy Detroit has been given the dubious distinction of being chosen to have a movie called "Little Murder" filmed in our troubled city." Let me tell you why. Coming out of the neighborhood post office, I was caught up in the middle of a group of bystanders watching a horrible scene: A man choking a woman in broad daylight. It wasn't a movie. It was a real-life scene we hear about daily. IOnly one person chose to intervene. I'm here to tell you that one person wasn't me. My quality decision was to say a short prayer and make a quick getaway. I was on my way to physical therapy and that was about as physical as I wanted to get. Upon arriving at therapy, I saw on the noon news a Detroit police officer had killed his wife, who was also an officer, and then shot himself in the head.
