Reporters Sleep as 60 Black People Rob a BART Train in Oakland

The "weekend cops" beat is not the most glorious job in journalism, but it is the easiest. All you have to do is check into the newsroom, grab a portable scanner, go to breakfast, visit the cop shop, ask a few questions, check the police blotter, eat lunch, scribble a few paragraphs about a car accident, then meet your fellow scribes for an after-work libation.

But you do have to do one thing. Always listen to the police scanner.

Every newspaper has its own horror story. The one related to me during my first turn on the cop beat in Colorado Springs was about the weekend reporter who thought he would turn off his scanner while he played some basketball.

The next day, the owner wanted to know how his newspaper failed to report on the major train crash near downtown, the largest of its kind in that city's history.

Maybe that is why all the weekend cop reporters in the San Francisco Bay area did not hear any police scanner traffic Saturday night at 9:30, when 60 black people rampaged through a BART train, robbing, beating, threatening, and laughing – always laughing.

Because not one word of this leaked out for 36 hours.

The San Francisco Chronicle began dribbling out the details Monday morning:

LOL! Way too funny!

Makes me think of the Monty Python loonies rattling coconuts halves together to make the "horsey" sounds in their ridiculous movies.

Wise decision, to not live anywhere near such a culture.

There is a percentage of blacks who consider whites to be the primary cause of their not living a better life; who see their condition as being primarily the result of white people actively "keeping them down", rather than due to any personal lack of character, energy, or drive to succeed. As a result of this viewpoint, many of them see white people as legitimate prey.

You can agree or disagree with the above paragraph. You may dismiss the percentage of blacks who feel this way as being vanishingly small. But many of the rest of us believe the percentage is fairly high among the urban underclass.

Putting Gurkhas on transit trains would be an excellent idea.
