Caller demands review of Kanisha Coleman death classification and police response
Summary
A public commenter identified as 'Torpedo' accused the Detroit Police Department and named officials of misclassifying the death of Kanisha Coleman as a suicide and demanded council attention.
A caller identifying as Torpedo used public comment to demand that the council address the death of Kanisha Coleman and the Detroit Police Department's classification of the case.
