Detroit native Charlie LeDuff for Mother Jones on the killing of 7 year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones and the decline of Detroit.
But the SWAT team didn’t wait. Maybe because the cameras were rolling, maybe because a Detroit police officer had been murdered two weeks earlier while trying to apprehend a suspect. This was the first raid on a house since his death.
