Can a socialist be demagogic?

My first thought upon reading this is that they need more of these automatic recognition cameras to further cut down on crime. The second thought is wondering if someone will someday stand up and go, "Look, you stupid fools, STOP STEALING CARS!"

Not going to hold my breath.

Their reasoning is not to be believed. More blacks are arrested therefore they are being targeted, it isn't because more blacks are committing crimes!

I suppose the cameras can tell when someone is black and send the police after them, right?

They call this unfairly targeting! Lefties are not to be believed, a bigger head in the sand attitude is hard to imagine.

Although ANPR technology is impartial, the disproportionate number of blacks being arrested has prompted the Met to investigate.

Doesn't that make sense? Next will come the study and the commission.

Depends on whether the camera is photographing Rodney King or Reginald Denny.

Oh, and was the software behind the system outsourced to India?

Cheers!

They are just as racists as school exams, SATs, med school exams, etc.

They obviously need to start putting the cameras in low-crime areas to see if that alleviates some of the disproportion...or is that move going to be considered racist, too?

I wonder what would happen if a racist camera took a picture of an evil SUV (the perpetrators of many accidents). Let's ask Rush Limbaugh.

If Britain had our percentage of minorities, they would have our murder rate as well.
Culture doesn't seem to matter. Draw your own conclusion.

The camera is racist. Product of instututional racism. All whites are racist and blacks don't produce cameras.
Race-norming is needed. 95% of black offenders must be discarded so that the proportion of black/white offense will be politically correct.

Why explain it????

"Why were 46% of the arrests black? Because that's who was driving the f*&%ing car, genius!!"

Shame on the results not matching the political correctness mantra!

Those racist cameras have to go!

To our British cousins: Check American crime stats.....your's are only out of line to the point that the black numbers may be low.
