The Inconvenient Truth about Ghetto Communities’ Social Breakdown

Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri — but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by the demonstrable fact that a fleeing black man was shot dead by a white policeman in South Carolina. Totally ignored was the fact that a black policeman in Alabama fatally shot an unarmed white teenager, and was cleared of any charges, at about the same time that a white policeman was cleared of charges in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.

You are still trying unsuccessfully to put words in my mouth. In my original post I specifically mentioned I did not say black. I can’t help it if you can’t see it any other way thru your eyes. Pretty sad really.

And yes to answer your original question, according to the NYC crime statistics, the NYC jails and prisons are full of citizens who were caught jaywalking, riding their bikes on the sidewalk, etc. Apparently you are ok with that.
