The gay black journo thinks preventing black people from getting killed by other black people is racist.

There’s a middle ground here - something between ‘protecting citizens at all costs’ and ‘protecting criminals at all costs’...

How will revenue be generated ala dui check points ? “Your papers, they are not in order, we have to issue you a citation and fine”.
