The officers were attempting to serve a subpoena on Bobby Ferguson, a city contractor and close friend of Kilpatrick. "Investigating"?

Then again, you and I don't rule a thugocracy. We don't have armed taxcow-funded bodyguard details 24/7. We're not Mayors Against [Your] Guns.
It's good to be the king.
