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

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.”

Sooo...transit authorities are admitting that the recent wave of attacks is being perpetrated by minority (black) teens.

Fine. Arm up, put your head on a swivel and defend yourself. A pocket knife would do nicely if sharpened well and slipped between the ribs and twisted.

Acknowledging the great disparity has much less impact than videotape on people’s emotions. And the withholding of videos will be forgotten.

By releasing this statement, the SF Transit people are basically telling their riders that it’s in their best interests to steer clear of minorities. LOL.
