Sounds a LOT like the German authorities cracking down on ordinary citizens concerned about crime.

Sounds a LOT like that.

What are we down to - 6 weeks before the election?

Everybody stay alert. I say the domestic combatants are not finished yet. They’ll do more dirty work.

Sounds like a neighborhood watch program. Never knew they were illegal.

Apparently these cops have not even a passing familiarity with the first amendment.

My neighborhood has a watch program. The watch captains are always careful to request that neighbors report suspicious behavior or activity, not suspicious persons.

Don’t watch for young blacks committing the crimes. No. That would be racists. Instead watch for “youths,” “teens,” “gentle giants,” and “aspiring rappers.”

LOL

Political correctness.

Might you want to report WHO is doing the suspicious activity or behavior?

Despite all the liberal and leftist squawking, reality rears its ugly head.

Young Blacks commit most crime.

To deny it is, quite simply, a lie.

Football fans take note.

I’d be careful about the vigilante remarks, but watching? Nothing wrong with watching. And despite what anyone says, I feel certain that your average white person can tell the difference between a black guy jogging down the street listening to music in the morning, or a black student with a backpack diddling with his phone on his way home from school at 4pm... and a group of kids in sagging pants cruising along at 11pm, looking around furtively and clearly up to no good.

Be careful what you post here.

Chances of being branded a “low life cop hater” are very high on threads like this....

I think they mean people similar to the googles causing trouble in North Carolina and Oklahoma.

Googles have so many extra rights these days it’s hard to keep track.

The guy with the backpack is doing the burglaries during the day.
