SF Transit: Releasing Robbery Surveillance Videos Would Be 'Racially Insensitive'
Truth Revolt ^ | 7.11.2017 | Mark Tapson

Posted on 07/11/2017 9:25:22 AM PDT by detective

Welcome to the politically correct, multicultural utopia of the San Francisco Bay Area, where transit authorities are refusing to release surveillance videos that captured a wave of robberies committed by groups of teens at BART stations, because to do so might inspire racial animus toward minorities.

Red State's Kira Davis, whom you may remember from her video for TruthRevolt here, reports that the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) authorities are withholding surveillance videos of the following violent robberies committed over the last three months:

April 22: Forty to sixty kids boarded a train at the Coliseum stop and robbed seven passengers, beating up two;

June 28: A group of four kids assaulted a passenger and made off with a cell phone at Dublin; and

June 30: A woman on a train with about a dozen teenagers had her phone snatched by one them before the group got off at the Coliseum stop. Thankfully, a good Samaritan was on hand to retrieve the phone.

CBS interviewed BART Board of Directors member Debora Allen, who said that turning over the tapes to the press would be “racially insensitive”: “To release these videos would create a high level of racially insensitive commentary toward the district," she said. "And in addition it would create a racial bias in the riders against minorities on the trains.”

but no race.

When you hear hooves, think horse, not zebra. Assume a priori probabilities.

But traffic light cameras are okay. The difference? Money.

How about airing them along with a message from a respected preacher of the pertinent race appealing for a stop to the mayhem and a return to God??

"turning over the tapes to the press would be “racially insensitive”: "

So, they are confirming that the perps are black but won't show the videos to further confirm the facts. I guess they think people can't handle the truth.

We have come to a very sorry state.

“Debora Allen, who said that turning over the tapes to the press would be “racially insensitive”:

Right. We don’t want to hurt white people’s sensitivities by perpetuating the criminal stereotype. Oh wait...

All stereotypes have an element of truth but in this case it is a HUMONGOUS element.

Everytime there's some criminal incident like this, some official should go on t.v. and explain that they can't show the video footage because it "might excite racial animus" or "be racially insensitive." In fact, they could state that they aren't going to release any info at all about the complexion of the perps since that could "reinforce antiquated racial stereotypes."

That would be extremely helpful (to anyone "in the know").

She couldn’t have been more clear about the group and its ethnic composition.

Racially insensitive is the new code to excuse African criminals, especially if they attack white Americans. If they did release the videos there might be a white flight from BART and this of course, would be reported by the old media as “whites leaving BART because of the color of some citizens’ skin.” There would be no mention, not a word, about African behavior. It’s always the same dogma, it’s all about skin color.

Yep, the old media would never expose the truth. This is why it only gets worse.
Crime rates
There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.
In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non­black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.
Interracial crime
In 2013, of the approximately 660,000 crimes of interracial violence that involved blacks and whites, blacks were the perpetrators 85 percent of the time. This meant a black person was 27 times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa. A Hispanic was eight times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa

Exactly. The old media continues to lie for Africans and sniveling deceptive public officials.

Actually, groups generally stereotype themselves and normal people simply observe. The normies are told to shut up about it.
