Video surveillance footage of crimes committed on the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) service by minority youths is being withheld by San Francisco authorities due to their concern that the videos might perpetuate racial bias and stereotyping.
In three months time, at least three robberies have transpired at the San Francisco station by groups of teenagers. One such attack, on April 22, was committed by some 40-60 teens, reports KPXI-TV.
Meh. The local TV news stations here in the Bay Area have been refusing to broadcast the color, race, or legal status of any suspects of any crime … unless they happen to be white … and visiting from Texas. No pictures of the hoodies. No description of the “Latino” accent. No description of the neck tattoos. And no surnames of any suspects … unless the the last name is Svensson.
BART is just following the lead of the leftist mainstream media.
Only lefty wastes of time who deserve to be robbed an die use mass transit. So I am fine with that.
For all the wealth the “Bay Area” has and of course how so very advanced and “progressive” they are, I found the BART trains and stations to be especially dirty and creepy when I was there a couple weeks back. Even the airport station – which one would think they would treat as a crown jewel – was a dump.
VDH mentioned in his column the other day how fully 1/3 of Bay Area residents would leave if they could.
Toronto did this foolishness for years even though the people knew who were committing the crimes. foolish and stupid both.
Doesn’t make a bit of difference. We know who they are.
Right on Bang.
In fact, withholding probably makes it worse.
Peoples’ imaginations are always worse than the reality they’re being denied.
This deliberate censorship is actually counterproductive.
But like Kevin above, given who’s originating this mistake, I’m in no hurry to correct them.
Where’s Charles Bronson when you need him?
Sid,
I believe Cali is broke. Could explain the garbage and human excrement. Just guessing.
Since Ontario is even in more debt, per capita, it might be a movie coming to TO soon. Oh wait, the norm has been re-established in Canada with the Liebel election. Yes, the West has reassumed its purposeful role as the source of eastern finance.
Been to St.Francisco a couple of times. First time; interesting the cult of the Cable Cars to attract tourists, although dangerous at the minimum was trip back to where people had to be nimble and aware to survive.
The second time was advice from Tourist agent; “why would you wish to spend a whole day visiting a dirty smelly prison on an island? The description also describes the City and Mass Transport.
The Third time will never happen.

“Toronto did this foolishness for years…”

Her refusing to show videos because of “sterotypes about minorities” says loud and clear that the people committing most of those crimes are black.
remember when Ricky Martin in an interview refused to answer if he was straight or gay?
refusing to answer was the answer; he was gay.
refusing to show videos tells us the criminals are black.
It is not a stereotype, it is FBI stats, it is reality, blacks have the highest crime rates of all races.
murder rate per nation stats shows the same ; blacks are the worse offenders.
hiding videos will not change reality.
liberals are the stupidest people and they are getting stupider by the day.
when is a black man not a black man? Ha Ha, when he commits a crime.
mea culpa neo, they still “DO” it.
Surprised they didn’t just invert the colors in a B&W version of the video and display white teenagers terrorizing blacks — that would fit with the globalist narrative and also show the dangers of “white privelage”.
The Frisco authorities aren’t trying to protect the criminals or fool anyone.
They are trying to maintain their standing among the moonbat majority in the city in which they live and make their living.
They fear being called racist and losing their jobs and standing amongst their political peer group.
