London Mayor calls for overhaul of Scotland Yard's gang database as 80% of names on it are black
The Evening Standard ^ | 12/23/18

Sadiq Khan is calling for an overhaul of Scotland Yard’s controversial gangs database after it was found to include a “disproportionately” high number of young black men.

The Mayor today published a review of the confidential Gangs Matrix, which was created after the 2011 riots to identify those considered at risk of becoming involved in gangs.

City Hall found that of the 3,200 names listed on the database, three quarters are under the age of 25 and four-in-five are black.

It said that while there is evidence the list has helped to reduce offending rates, measures were required to “restore trust” and ensure it is used “lawfully and proportionately”.

The review also said the representation of young black men on the matrix is disproportionate to their likelihood of either causing or being a victim of gang violence and communities have “deep reservations” about how it operates.

Mr Khan said local borough police forces have since deleted their informal gang databases and added: “To many Londoners, the way [the matrix] is applied and enforced is a cause for concern and it needs to be comprehensively overhauled to ensure it is used lawfully and proportionately.”

Diversity isn’t quite as bad as multiculturalism but it’s right up there.

Well, we musn’t allow Scotland Yard to have facts or anything like this.

Make no mistake. This is calculated insurrection by forming allies with criminal elements.

You know, in the 1990’s, there would always be scenes of some street violence portrayed in various Bible Prophecy docu-dramas.

I did not imagine, only 20 years later, that certain politicians, even in America, would be actively trying to make it happen.

And not be booted out of office immediately. And here we are. Watching it happen in real-time.

Well how about instead just adding anyone with Islamic cult affiliation and renaming it Gang and Terrorist List?

Interesting.

Just finished work and grabbing a late lunch at McD's. The store has 50's and 60's music interspersed with Christmas classics.

As I opened this article of Sidiq Khan's blather, the song that was playing at the restaurant was 'You Talk Too Much.' by Joe Jones. Coincidence? I think not!

Uh, what does he not understand about the term “database”?
Rhetorical question.

But the light bulb really, really, really has to WANT to change.

Q: How many California Democrats does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Five. One to change the bulb and four to “share the experience”.

Could it be that 80% of London’s gang members are,*in fact*,black?

Aside: as the people who know how to do things flee California will the State eventually go dark?

Sad to say, that was Winston Churchill’s biggest error as PM in the early 50s. Sadly, he should have chosen a well-earned retirement, instead he let himself be conned by all manner of squishy establishment types to go for immigration to solve labor shortages.

The mayor is behind the times. Haven’t we been doing that recently with schools, and with the criminal law that just passed, we’ll be doing it with prisons.

I live in London. Your statement about the application of the word black is incorrect in the context of Muslims and Asians.

They could set up and fund an equal number of “white” gangs...

They don’t need a data overhaul.

They need a leadership overhaul.

Sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade. Otherwise they’re just whistling Dixie.

Doesn’t matter what country someone’s from or what nationality or religion...a brainless idiot is still a brainless idiot. 🤮🤮
