Article shows that urban police departments have responded to the contradictory demands that they 1. reduce violent crime AND 2. go easy on the black and Hispanic men who in many cities have a virtual monopoly on crime, by engaging in de-policing and systematic fraud in the (under)reporting of crime.

Eventually, we will go back to the Jim Crow version of the law where "If it didn't affect white people, it didn't happen". Sad.

Oh. Sorry to hear that. Over the past year, I've read a lot of articles on race-targeted crime in Seattle that go way beyond what this one says.

The sad part is that it seems African-Americans in our town (Seattle) seem to want it that way. Anytime a white officer takes action involving someone from 'their community' they rally, involve the liberal media, whine, block freeways, etc. I give it a few years and the PD will have 'black units' to patrol the central district, etc. Oh sure, they'll have a few token whites in that unit, but they'll all be desk jockeys.

OK, so this will push what I'll term "non-gun" citizens (as opposed to the anti-gun types) to look closely at arming themselves, provide for their own security. And the problem with this response is. . . ?
