[quote:Anonymous Coward 1058225:MV8xMTU1NzMxXzE4NjI0MjE1XzgwQjQzNzU4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1060551] i drove through the Flint / Detroit area yesterday on my way back to NC. i got caught up in about 12 hardened Humvees with 50 cal turrets....Military Police on the back of the vehicles. vehicles stuffed with personnel and supplies. the soldiers were fully dressed in cammo with their shades on, helmets on and speaking mics that wrap around to their mouths on. these guys were battle ready. i thought to myself, did i just get caught up in a martial law parade...but then i heard about the serial killer. i went straight on I75 and they peeled off towards Detroit..... i wonder if they are assisting in the manhunt? looks like they are going to be needed if this keeps happening....checkpoints soon to follows.

Police on Friday released a composite drawing of a suspected serial killer believed responsible for stabbing 13 men since May, five of them fatally.
A spokeswoman for Flint Mayor Dayne Walling said investigators are hoping someone recognizes the man in the drawing and calls police.
The drawing shows a white man with a mustache and goatee; he's wearing a baseball cap and has a distinctive stud piercing the top of his left ear.
Many in Flint are wondering why it took officials so long to tell the public that a large white man with a knife and an urge to kill apparently has been targeting black men walking alone in the late night or early morning. Police have said all but one of the stabbing victims was African-American.
"Too often the death of African-Americans, particularly young black males, is minimized, and the value of their lives is minimized," said Lorna Latham, president and CEO of the Urban League of Flint.
"The fact that the perpetrator is white and the victims are overwhelmingly black suggests that the victims are being targeted because they're black, and this case must be aggressively pursued as a hate crime."
