DETROIT -- An aide to Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick filed a police report Thursday claiming Monica Conyers, the short-tempered City Council president pro tem and wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, threatened to get a gun and shoot him at a city pension board meeting.
But a spokesman for Conyers says she was the real victim in the hubbub.
According to the police report filed Thursday by DeDan Milton, an assistant to Kilpatrick, Conyers "threatened to shoot (Milton) with her gun" and made "several aggressive movements" toward Milton "in a threatening manner."
Milton also reported to police that Conyers said she would "have my brothers (mess) you up."
David Clark, chair of Detroit's General Retirement System, backed up Milton's account.
"She ran at him," Clark told The Detroit News. "She told him she would get a gun if she had to and that she has four brothers and they would whup his a-- if she asked them."
Ah, Detroit. That liberal cesspool of brotherly love and government officials to lead the way. How embarassing.
