WEDNESDAY NEWS HIT - The city of Detroit is
dropping most of its cases against protesters that joined mass demonstrations over the summer, dismissing charges against 238 of the 245 who had been ticketed during the confrontations.
A Detroit city attorney said that prosecutors studied videotape and because not every demonstrator who violated the curfew that was set during the early days of June were ticketed, and because many of the citations were never submitted to a court, most are being thrown out.
However, seven people are still expected to be prosecuted for their involvement, including Nakia Wallace, a member of the Detroit Will Breathe activist group.

It s no surprise to the community that while the 51-year-old was out one night earlier this week, he pulled to the side of Gratiot Avenue near 13 Mile Road in neighboring Roseville to help a stranded woman whose car appeared to be overheating and breaking down.
