Video Of Bus Beating Reported Blank Monday, December 10, 2007 WBAL Radio and The Baltimore Examiner

There is a report this morning that police investigating last week's beating of a woman aboard an MTA bus don't have any video of the beating.

The Baltimore Examiner reports that while police believed the beating was caught by the bus's on-board video camera, that tape appears to be blank.

The Examiner quotes a source close to the investigation who says the camera wasn't working properly and the paper reports MTA police are sending the video to specialists, hoping they can find something on the tape that's not visible to the naked eye.

Are you suggesting the tape was erased? By the driver? The police? The perps?

I swear I remember reading earlier articles on the attack-here and at ST Louis Examiner-stating that a review of the tapes ruled out the li'l thugs' version, which had the fight starting after the swarmed victim spat at a thug and used a "racial epithet". the last two actions would of course entitle the li'l thugs to do whatever they please in retaliation. < /s Now we're told those tapes are blank? What's going on?

It sounds like destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice. Somebody wants to go to prison.

If it was erased, I doubt it was the bus driver. The driver and the passengers all publicly state the kids were hooligans. Probably just your standard public service incompetence. I’d be shocked if a majority of the cameras worked properly.

The Baltimore racial dictatorship made sure there would be no black version of this...

Even if the video was functioning properly, I would be very suprised if it had audio.

This little excursion into the the world of “Hate Crimes” has the power to knock the entire racially invented hate crime system off the books.

Amazing how the cameras only work when the authorities say they do. Anytime they might expose an ugly truth and the tapes disappear, the cameras malfunction, etc. etc.

But if you try to film for yourself, the police will tell you it is illegal to film them questioning you in your car.

Cameras weren’t needed for ROSA PARKS.

The driver was attempting to help the woman, from what I’ve read.

There needs to be a HUGE outcry about “hate crimes” committed against the majority “race”, racial hatred is a two way street, and I’ve seen much more of it FROM the minority than against the minority.

Agreed.

Looking back at the straw that broke the camels back, Rosa Parks, was never touched that I know of, just intimidated to sit elsewhere.

These children of the socialist village took that exact scenario, reversed it, and brought it to a whole new level.
