Ostrich Syndrome

Halls of Macadamia: 

So we’ll pretend it’s not happening… that’ll fix the problem…

Officials from BART, the public metro system serving California’s San Francisco Bay area, have come under fire for their refusal to release crime surveillance videos, claiming such tapes will promote stereotypes and “stir up racial animosity.”

A BART official defended the agency’s decision on Monday by saying information about criminal misconduct will be withheld at this time because of the media’s “disproportionate elevation” of crimes that “unfairly affect and characterize riders of color.”

  3. But if accosted by one of these Afro-Miscreants and in fear for your life and you shoot the bastard, you’ll be lucky if they don’t publish your address for the Miscreant’s ‘brutha’s’ to find you

  4. It’s been city hall policy for years now not to identify the color or ethnicity of criminal suspects, in some cases even when the cops are asking for help in capturing them. It’s only in a few cases where the cops have reached a dead end and the criminals are particulalry nasty will they release descriptions and in more then a few cases videotape they had. Stupid bastards.
