I dislike when conservatives simply assume things to fit our political agenda rather than have hard evidence for them, but in this case the San Francisco public metro officials are blatantly confirming what we all suspect.
Watch below:
They’re hiding details of crime because it would stir up racial animosity.
A top BART official opened the door for a fresh round of criticism Monday when she explained the transit agency’s decision to withhold information about criminal misconduct on the system by pointing at what she called the media’s “disproportionate elevation” of crimes that “unfairly affect and characterize riders of color.”
Two BART board members took issue with Assistant General Manager Kerry Hamill’s reasoning, which they said went on unnecessary tangents and further clouded the transit agency’s commitment to transparency.
In a July 7 memo to BART’s board of directors obtained by The Chronicle, Hamill referred to the latest crime on BART that attracted widespread attention: the snatching of a woman’s cell phone about a week earlier by a group of at least 10 juveniles at Coliseum Station.
Although only a cell phone was stolen, the incident was similar to an earlier violent robbery involving a group of juveniles at the same station. BART officials did not immediately widely publicize either robbery. When the June 30 cell phone theft occurred, BART was no longer issuing daily police logs of crimes.
This is terribly irresponsible, of course, and it actually worsens what they’re trying to prevent. When you admit that you’re trying to hide crime because it’ll stir up racial animosity, guess what that stirs up? RACIAL ANIMOSITY.
IDIOTS.
“The truth shall set you free” is true for a reason.
