PONTIAC, Mich. Oakland County Executive David Coulter has released a statement regarding a 15-year-old girl placed by the Oakland County Circuit Court at Childrens Village. Officials said she was placed there for a probation violation of not completing online schoolwork and other reasons. Coulter released the following statement:I spoke with the Judge this evening. While there are many more details that she is unable to share with me and the public to protect privacy of the minor and their family, I believe a review of this case within her court or during an appellate process is required. It has been a top priority of my administration to keep the young people and employees safe at Childrens Village during the pandemic and that includes limiting residency to immediate safety risks.

PONTIAC, Mich. More than 300 protesters came out Thursday night and marched through Oakland Countys government complex, under the watchful eye of the sheriffs office, which blocked traffic for them. A woman, who only identified herself as Bunny, was the organizer. The protest was peaceful, and while most came out because they were horrified at George Floyds murder, others had differing agendas like defunding the police. Protesters were welcomed by Oakland County Executive David Coulter who had the countys electronic billboards proclaiming Black Lives Matter. Its not a slogan, its not political, its the truth; black lives matter.
