As if the city of Detroit didn't have enough going on to damage its reputation, members of city council resorted to childish arguing and even name-calling during an OPEN hearing.  The entire exchange was captured on camera for all to see and hear.  So what do you think about it?  Who's at fault?  Does this hurt the council's credibility?  Add a comment below and let us you know your thoughts...

In the full version she even cut down the Donkey from shrek. Her mind is caught somewhere between the real world and cartoon world! In the real world they dont put up with people like her and Im sure the cartoon world would find something from the acme company to put an end to her!

They are all incompetent ! Do you remember them waisting their time last year voting on a George Bush impeachment , as if it had anything to do with their jobs , or if it would do anything anyway ?
Thse people make the city of Detroit a total disgrace . And Jenny Granholm makes the state look just as bad with her incompetence , and failure to act on the situation .

I am writing in support of Mr. Cockrel's of professional manor in which he took control of the outbursts by Ms. Conyers, Friday 4/11/08. I have been watching this entire week on line. It is very apparent that Ms. Conyers flips back and forth on many issues. And for as long as I have been observing Council, Ms. Conyers has seemed to be one of the most arrogant, rude, disrespectful members on the team. Not a good element on this Council.. The whole episode was very embarrassing for the City and surrounding areas.

I would hope that Ms. Conyers would get the proper help she needs. One thing that we don't need is a riff among the members. Giving Mr. Mayor great joy in the facts that there is friction in the City Council.

Need I add that I am a born and raised Detroiter that is now living in Royal Oak. Detroit is still a very important part of my life.
And what goes on in Detroit is also a very important part of our State as a whole.

Keep up the good job Mr. Cockrel, the city needs you.

I AGREE WITH MR.CROCKEL. IN THE PAST WEEK SHE HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH ON THE ISSUES THE COUNCIL ARE TRYING TO WORK ON. IN THE MEANTIME KILPATRICK IS LOVING IT. SHE IS DOING WHAT HE NEED HER TO DO; AND THAT IS TO KEEP COUNCIL FROM DOING A THOROUGH JOB OF INVESTIGATING. THE SAD PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS, MONICA ISN'T GEETING THE MEDICAL HELP SHE OBVIOUSLY NEED, AND COUNCIL CAN'T GET THEIR JOBS DONE AS LONG AS SHE REMAINS ON COUNCIL.

You have to add hubby John's IQ score to Monica's to get into the low three figures. Monica's brain damage may result from oxygen deprivation when she repeatedly runs her mouth while forgetting to breathe--much less to think. Hence, her constituents have wisely lowered their expectations to avoid disappointment.

I must agree with the comments stating that Conyers appears to be undecided. Everytime that I turn on the television she is arguing with or for the opponents. She seems to be terribly confused and in need of psychological help.

One bad apple shouldn't spoil the whole tree; Although the City Council may receive negative publicity from this, if it is reported accurately the fault will be on one person (Conyers) and not the whole Council or city.

That was extremely ignorant and rude of that women. Why such an immature, mouthy women allowed on the city council? Her argument was pointless and the fact that she kept talking when told not to just shows how stupid she really is. Sad state Detroit is in and we are sitting around with BLEEP like that. Just as the city does, she makes me sick.
Detroit is how it is because the whole city seems run by people such as that. She was acting like a damn child.

Ms. Conyers sounded like a real fool. She talks about respect? Please. Sounds like she wanted to kick some butt on the street corner. She ought to feel disgraced and embarassed. What an ass.

The sad issue here is not only mrs conyers rudeness and ghetto mentality, but from the mayor on down, city council, the water dept, fire and police depts the bd of ed, even the det zoo are in some way or another effected by these fools, how many jobs must lost how many must be spent before we as taxpayors say enough and mean it. det will be in a very sad state if some of these people aren't removed not only from the camera but from office. shameful and shame on detroit for putting with this stuff, way more is at stake than there personal agenda. makes me sick to be apart of it.

Monica Conyers is acting very unprofessional and juvenile. As if Detroit does not have enough problems. She knew she was being taped and was acting ridiculous!

I hope she takes the time at home to review the tape. She was totally out of line. Passion is one thing but, ignorance and unprofessionalism is another. I was on a elected committee at one time. You don't know who you are going to have to work with. You may not even like the ones you work with. However, you have a job to do. You don't go home with none of your co-workers. Do Your Job!
She was tacky. Watching her over the past few years makes me wonder if something is mentally wrong. I hope this never becomes a reflection of her husband.

It is my opinion that Mrs Conyers is a typical example of the lower class route that is taken by individuals who have no grasp on the real world. To get in a fight over respect is what is causing street level violence across America. She could have respected her position in office, but it must just be about her.... sounds just like the Mayor point of view.

I think Monica Conyers is a dumb idiot to make herself look so stupid in front of everyone. She acted like a "hood-RAT". Now the world know she has no CLASS, she's ignorant, and she's GHETTO. When they see her face - they thing "au... there the ghetto trash, please take her out." No wonder Detroit is so messed up and gets no respect.
