“What a racist!! Calling the cops when a black man commits a crime! Racist! Racist! Racist!”

Well it is absolutely racist, but not for the reason you imply.

This guy thinks blacks are more prone to breaking the law, as in they can’t help themselves, and thus are entitled to a pass, just to even the playing field of life.

Did I do the right thing by calling the police?

No, you didn't.

But you'll probably never unsderrstadn why.

“But I’d rather have my car broken into than have a person’s life ruined by my 911 call.”

Really?? I bet he wouldn’t have as conflicted if the kid was white.

He’s another example of a pathetic, miserable, self loathing roach. I truly despise these types.

Thanks! My points all apply to MO, though.

The author is a lousy neighbor and citizen, no matter where he lives.

In a 2015 survey conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago, about half of African-Americans reported being treated badly by police officers because of their race. (Fewer than 5 percent of white Americans said this.)

How would anyone know what's in the cops' heads?

I agree. At least now his neighbors know they better lock their vehicles.

I am seeing articles from all over the country (on unz.com) where there are calls and movements to decriminalize certain behaviors because they disproportionately impact "certain demographics".

The most recent I can recall is the state attorney in Maryland looking to overturn 5000 marijuana convictions or Grand Rapids, MI calling it a human rights ordinance, working to criminalize calling the police on POC who are "participating in their lives".

Those are just two I can think of. Many others.

The idiot is lucky the black dude ran instead of whirling around with a gun in his hand.

And he perp now knows where the idiot lives. He may decide to return for vengeance.

Years ago I had a Honda Del Sol convertible. One day I was heading for the pool from my apartment building when I turned around and saw a black guy bent over the passenger door looking into my car.

I walked back and while he was still looking in the car, I said what are you doing? His response was, "Oh sorry, I thought it was my car" then he walked away. I immediately checked my glove compartment and discovered he had stolen my my prescription sun glasses where were in their case.

The only thing I could do at that point was go up to my apartment and call the police, which I did. They came and took a report then searched the area. About an hour later, they found the guy under the bridge over the river outside my complex. Meanwhile I searched thru the wooded area that he had to walk thru hoping to find my glasses but all I found was the case without the glasses......

That was the last I heard of it.

In retrospect, when he turned around when I was behind him, I should have decked him........Since he was only in shorts and a t-shirt with a towel, it's unlikely he had any weapon.

“He felt guilty because the Perp was black? WTF? Why? Would he have felt guilt if the guy was white, asian, or whatever????”

You are pretending that leftists see all humans as equal, when they have shown themselves repeatedly to have a very clear-cut hierachy of human worth based on which categories people fall into.

I chased after a black guy who stole a jacket out of my car.

Then I realized the dude could be armed.

How does he know the car’s owner was not black?

Yeah, that was a good planet. Too bad the evil orcs, also known as Democrats, took it over.

In other words, useless in everyday real life.

The letter to the editor writer is a fool. The criminal’s race means nothing. No doubt written by a NY liberal. Thus, the plight of the criminal’s is not only his fault, but yours and mine, too.
