The new poll from USA TODAY and the Detroit Free Press was conducted with Suffolk University
It found that Detroit residents overwhelmingly agree that they would feel safer with more cops on the street
Detroit was not alone, as a poll last month shows that 70% of black Democrats want more cops patrolling the Big Apple
In that poll, 21% of likely Democratic voters even want the return of the plainclothes anti-crime police in some neighborhoods
And in Chicago, another poll last month found that 79% of residents in the Windy City said they feel safer when they see police in their neighborhoods
my wife is here with me in what we call the situation room where i m able to broadcast on skype with battery backups. we have eight employees located in the two-story building above me and the 54 cats. we checked off a list hour and a half ago we ve got all 54 cats and all 10 employees safe inside this fortress of a building. 54 cats. my goodness. those employees there with you, dave, were they given a choice? the employees here what happened, people in low-lying areas and flood zones should take and pay heed to evacuation. some of our employees who had homes in unsafe areas and flood zones called upon us and said can we go ahead and stay at the hemingway home. basically since they already work here, they are familiar with the cats, the cats are family with the employees, they know the feeding process. they know the medications process. they know the names of the cats, which is important sometimes, too, to have that recognition between the employee and the
with those two components alone, we were here i was here during hurricane wilma when two-thirds of this island went 3 to 6 feet under water, we were literally untouched. no water on this property at all. you ve got a great deal of property in the property and the engineering. the property is magic. i think that s what hemingway found her when he came to key west. that s what inspired him to write 70% of his lifetime works right here on this piece of magical property. is this what hemingway would have done, do you think? would he have ridden it out at the house? i can t tell you that for sure, but he was a pretty tough guy. i kind of put my cards on the fact he would stay here, tie up his boat really tight and secure and then go out and check out the hurricane after it s all over. dave, a lot of folks watching and listening are wondering about the cats. how are they? where are they? we ve located all the cats inside the museum, inside that fortress we happen to own right h

what that surge would be like? we have been out and driving around and people are washinglk their dogs down and two blocks of flooding and duval street goes from the atlantic ocean to the gulf of mexico, i have seen both sides of it today. dave, i have not been on with you before. i know you talked to other ange anchors. one of my ears told me something of a lot of cat in ts in the building. yes, we have about 64, we took them inside the fortress with us and we had ten employees stayed here on-site. with the ten employees of racial of 5:1 and cats are accustoms in our voices and care. we love them, they love us, we all hung out last night. did the cats, often we think
