BART Withholding Surveillance Videos Of Crime To Avoid ‘Stereotypes’

CBS ^ | 7/9/2017

The news media censors crimes by blacks in a similar fashion, every single day.

They call gangs of black criminals "youths", "teens", "alleged suspects", "gunmen", "crowds", "kids", and "demonstrators."

This guy was arrested for assault and robbery on BART. He doesn't look like a preschooler to me.

My wife, little sister, and I were attacked by knife wielding "youths" on a Boston subway years ago. You are trapped and surrounded. Don't expect the staff workers or other passengers to help you either. When they see knives or other weapons, they will run in the interests of self-preservation.

Shame on BART. But then again, it is San Francisco, where "homeless" are crapping on the street in front of cops, and nothing is done.

and perpetuating false stereotypes in the process

If the crime videos show that the overwhelming majority are committed by blacks, then the "stereotypes" are not false.

That is what they are afraid of demonstrating

“The General Manager got a call about the incident on her voicemail that used racist and incendiary language that made my mouth drop.”

Well! The truth hurts doesn’t it? These “YUTES” are not humans but wild animals produced by welfare food and lodging.

Face reality you liberal so-called news reporters...they are feral animals...nothing more...and should be treated as such.

Coliseum station might as well be in beautiful downtown Monrovia Liberia. In fact, the latter is probably safer.

Spokespersons and managers who practice this drivel censorship need to be subjected to the crimes they hide from the rest of us. If they get their heads split open enough, maybe they will get the message, or, at least, no longer be able to talk.

BART managers are lying. It's not that they want to avoid stereotyping. They want the element, yes, the black tribe protected. These are tribal attacks on non-blacks, mostly white and Hispanic to inflict mayhem on society.

I urge all my friends to carry a hat-pin or a screw-driver as a tool to protect yourself if you are in one of those states where non-blacks are not allowed to carry arms to protect themselves.

Listen to their words....blacks want a war, a war which they will lose.

Parts of Dubuque and Waterloo IA - both on US Highway 20, the "Crack Trail" - aren't much better between 6 PM and 6 AM… for stereotypical reasons.

Such a grand thing, this creature called social justice.

Keeping up with the insanity of political correctness would be like trying to keep up with Lindsay, Britney, or Paris when any one (or all of them together) was on a night on the town back some ten years or so ago.

BART has refused to turn over surveillance video for any of these incidents.

Allen told us the agency issued an explanation for why it is being tight-lipped about the thefts.

“To release these videos would create a high level of racially insensitive commentary toward the district,” she was told. “And in addition it would create a racial bias in the riders against minorities on the trains.”

““To release these videos would create a high level of racially insensitive commentary toward the district,” she was told. “And in addition it would create a racial bias in the riders against minorities on the trains.” According to a memo distributed to BART Directors, the agency won’t do a press release on the June 30 theft because it was a “petty crime” that would make BART look “crime ridden.” Furthermore, it would “unfairly affect and characterize riders of color, leading to sweeping generalizations in media reports.”

TRANSLATION: The perps are black.

FOIA.

This really does seem self-defeating.

If you tell me that a crime was committed, and if you tell me that you choose not to reveal details about the perpetrators, I will ALWAYS assume they are black. It’s just common sense.

I would say that this directly feeds into the creation ad re-emphasis of the stereotype. So how does this help?

[Bonemaker]

I was going to say they don’t have to release the videos....we got the message YEARS ago. And the stereotype is self fulfilling and perpetuating.

I hate how the democrats use the innocuous term “kids” in describing filthy dangerous criminals.

[Savage Beast]

Meanwhile, millions of morons in California continue to vote for incompetent, delusional, and corrupt politicians, and California continues its descent into moral rot, decadence, and a Third World hellhole.

Just like the wretched Swedes report or non-report on “immigrant” crime as being committed by “Swedish men”.
