Shameless: Justice Department Warns LAPD over Racial Profiling
The story popped up on the Los Angeles Times website Saturday night. The headline: “Justice Department warns LAPD to take a stronger stance against racial profiling.”
One might assume on reading such a headline that the Justice Department had uncovered some damning evidence that Los Angeles Police Department officers, even after working for years under the terms of a consent decree and the watchful eyes of a federal monitor, were engaging in discriminatory practices. In the print edition, the story was given any newspaper’s most prominent placement: above the fold on the front page of the Sunday edition. This, the Times was saying, is a Very Important Story, so important in fact that they followed up with a typically sophomoric editorial in Tuesday’s edition, ominously titled “Shades of the ‘old’ LAPD.”
But if you had read Sunday’s story in search of the damning evidence you thought had been uncovered, you might have reached the end of it and said to yourself, “Wait a minute, that’s … it?”
The evidence cited by the Justice Department and the Times fell somewhere well short of damning, to wit, a single conversation — recorded inadvertently and perhaps illegally — between an LAPD supervisor and two officers, in which the officers were dismissive of allegations of racial profiling. Times writer Joel Rubin described it thus:
“So, what?” one [officer] said, when told that other officers had been accused of stopping a motorist because of his race. The second officer is heard twice saying that he “couldn’t do [his] job without racially profiling.”
The officers’ comments, Justice officials found, spoke to a “perception and attitude of some LAPD officers on the street” and suggested “a culture that is inimical to race-neutral policing.”
There are indeed perceptions and attitudes among LAPD officers that both the Justice Department and the Los Angeles Times would find distasteful, but they are not the ones being fretted over in the Times’s story. Unlike our sophisticated betters in the lawyering and newspaper businesses, police officers cannot afford to entertain the fevered utopian fantasies of those who choose to pretend, against all evidence, that crime and criminals are equally distributed among all races and ethnicities. Like police officers everywhere, LAPD officers must perceive the world as it exists, with all its many imperfections, and their attitudes are shaped accordingly. And in Los Angeles, as in any other city you might name, the reality is that blacks and Latinos are responsible for a far greater share of the city’s crime than every other ethnic group combined.
Consider: The city of Los Angeles is divided into 21 patrol divisions, each with it’s own police station and complement of officers. In examining the latest crime data from the department’s number crunchers, we can see that South Central L.A.’s 77th Street Division, populated almost entirely by blacks and Latinos, leads the city in violent crime with 2,322 incidents this year as of Nov. 6. Trailing 77th Street are the other areas that comprise South Central L.A., Southeast, Newton, and Southwest Divisions, each with more than 1,500 violent incidents. Together those four divisions account for more than 40 percent of the city’s violent crime despite being home to only 16 percent of its population.
Last in the city in violent crime is the mostly white West L.A. Division with 246 incidents, this despite having 57,000 more residents than 77th Street. What’s more, officers working in West L.A. know that much of the violent crime occurring in their area is committed by blacks and Latinos who drive in from South Central and other parts of the city to prey on the relatively prosperous inhabitants.
Would the Justice Department and the Los Angeles Times have the LAPD ignore so glaring a disparity? And who but the city’s criminals would profit if it did?
I’d not want to be an LAPD officer (or any copper – I sincerely dislike cops), but my son, unfortunately, is. The LAPD has been more or less castrated due to the criminal behavior of some of the officers (the rest aiding and abetting with their silence) in the past and the rampant politically correctness in the City of Angels.
Policing in LA is very hard work, and the “criminal” element has learned to take advantage of the asinine LAPD policies launching an investigation for any ridiculous complaint by a gang member. This has led to cops ignoring certain ‘problems.’ (Add to that the fact that the cops are not anymore paid for mandatory overtime.)
Imagine sitting behind a desk for two years for a false accusation and complaint by an illegal Latino gang banger who just beat the crap out of an 80-year-old lady and raped her.
Luckily for my son, he is part of a special task force that only hunts down known major violent criminals, 100% of whom are Latinos.
How asinine is it to ignore the fact that most criminals in LA are either Hispanics or blacks, or that most terrorist are Muslim?

Are we Americans really that retarded?
Tim, Americans aren’t but the US Attorney General and his upper echelons certainly are.
Are we retarded? Just may be. I know this fella trained some LAPD officers:
http://www.montereyherald.com/local/ci_16666562
“The stories were good, full of commando drama and globe-trotting derring-do in very dangerous climes.
They were so good that, ultimately, they didn’t ring true with a few students at the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
They began comparing notes on what they heard in workshops on human trafficking and counterterrorism from instructor Bill Hillar.
They had believed the big man in his 60s with the close-cropped, military-style haircut was a retired colonel with Army Special Forces, a veteran of the elite Green Berets.
This week, MIIS officials said the school was mounting an investigation into Hillar’s background because of questions raised by students and a website dedicated to the military’s special forces. The website alleges that Hillar never served in the Army, but was a Coast Guard reservist.
“We did our research,” said website owner Jeff Hinton, who identifies himself as a retired Special Forces master sergeant, in an e-mail.”

=======================
This story is funny. I took a counter-terrorism seminar with this guy at monterey, as I’m sure so many other MIIS students have. afterwards me and a bunch of other students went out for beers (that old british bar on franklin) w/ him near campus. this guy had awesome stories. he married a hmong girl from his days in vietnam and had kids. a few years later one of his daughters (15 at that time) gets kidnapped, raped and killed by a human trafficking gang. this story was later adapted in that movie “taken” w/ liam neeson:
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/7229118
he also had a story about going into the golden triangle for some black ops, only to get into a shoot out w/ DEA. the story had KIAs too.
I thought his stories were so cool and may be useful in the near future, so I emailed him shortly after for either some more stories or book recommendations. he sent me like 10 book recs and I read like six. I always thought it funny that most of his stories were found scattered in the books he recommended. I just figured, he was somehow part of the stories or he just used those stories because he wanted to use declassified stories in lieu of his own.
2 yrs later, fraud.
I know MIIS students that stayed at his house near DC who worked for Other Gov’t Agency, I hope they investigate this guy for possible Nat’l Security breaches.
Seems to me that in addition to a wall to keep illegals out…there out to be another encompassing south central and the other major crime centers. Why permit the invasion?
Tim,
Yes, we Americans are really that retarded. Think BHO.
Just curious. Why do you dislike cops? I was one for 25 years and only had one citizen complaint, determined to be unfounded after an IA investigation.
@Ditch Digger…
Same here Brother; 23.5 yrs then on-duty heart attack.
Two complaints-both unfounded.
Lots & lots of Letters of Commendation by the citizens though.
Some people just hate cops–another form of bigotry. Many yrs ago, I had a guy seriously hurt in a TC and went into total arrest. I breathed life back into him and thumped on his chest till the paramedics arrived. Later I had to interview him at the hospital. When he saw me he said “I ain’t talkin’ to no F**kin’ cops.” The ER Doctor then informed him that I was the one who gave him CPR and brought him back from death. Adam Henry told me to “I don’t give a s**t, f**k off.” That’s OK, I know I did the right thing. BTW, I found him at fault in the TC.
Watch your six…
Just a quick note, statistics show most terrorist attacks are not by Muslims.
I am against PC as well, but I am writing a research paper, and that was going to be my argument for the benefits of “racial profiling”. Sadly I have to look (not too hard) for a different vantage point.

Since the DoJ is so concerned with racial neutrality law enforcement, you think we’ll see any progress on Panthergate?
Jack, there is an elephant in the room. Eric Holder calls us cowards, you see. He suggests that we don’t want to talk about race and racism in America. I have come to some conclusions. The first one is, I have decided with some great anxiety and discomfort…he’s right.
Well, sort of right.
It is my belief that leftists have:
a)grabbed the “mantle of goodness” regarding “racism” and throw elbows and knees at anyone non-leftist, in a perverted and twisted “protectionism” on the subject;
b)having now usurped all the “goodness” related to “racism”, they and they alone define what is, and more importantly, what is not…racism, in America;
c)because “they” and they alone “marched” in the 60′s, (whether old enough to walk, alive at the time, or living anywhere near where the marches actually took place), nobody else is “qualified” to speak on the subject;
d)the newly owned and defined leftist-controlled “racism” is not an eight lane highway in post modern multi-cultural, melting pot America, quite frankly, it has a traffic flow in only one direction;
e)more succinctly put, “racism” is now institutionalized in this land of ours, it is evident in every aspect of every portion of our daily lives. From a governmental viewpoint, it is institutionally important…imperative, that whites pay a “retribution tax” in the way of lesser justice, lesser institutionalized opportunity, lesser institutionalized governmental grants, educational acceptance, higher taxes, …a “redistribution” of fairness as payment for the wages of the sin of slavery and oppression.
It is important to understand what that paragraph says and does not say. It is not that whites have statistically “raw” numbers that are less than “traditional minorities”, it is that the government has decided to institutionalize its own measure of “redistribution” of all of those things…almost entirely aimed against white society….and for traditional minorities.
One might debate how much of this is a good thing, if we are trying to be a race neutral society. But, the truth of the matter is…we really aren’t. And it’s high time to stop pretending that we are.
Moreover, we should stop hiding behind masked words, polite society niceties, and clouded, shrouded and stunted code words for what this is and why it is. The only ones being at all open about this are black comedians. They openly mock and disparage whites. And that’s the real attitude behind institutionalized American racism in post modern America.
It is virulently anti-white.
Maybe this is deserved. Maybe it is healthy. Maybe it is fair. And maybe it is the right path for America to be on, so that we can heal and move forward.
We will never know. Because in polite American society, whites are not allowed to join the conversation, engage in the debate, render and opinion and never, ever, ever…complain about mistreatment. They do not own that right. It is lost to them forever. And the irony of ironies is that, if they utter a peep about it…you know what they will immediately be branded? You guessed it. Racist.
So, they are whipsawed by leftist deceit and conceit. (most leftists, especially the most virulent brand of leftism…are bearded Marxist whites. Although through strategy and tactics, African Americans have become widespread bedfellows. Another irony, is the net effect of Marxism on the upward mobility of traditional minorities…it has a strong deflective tendency to keep them “victimized” as a permanent underclass, keeps violence, murder, gang infestation and drug addiction at crisis levels)
Eric Holder and the new Redistributive Justice department he heads not only openly accuses us of being cowards when it comes to openly discussing “racism” in America, he not only mocks our timidity…he’s banking on it.
We can’t heal this land of ours when it comes to race relations because the elephant in the room has gone on a rampage.
Don’t be a victim, CJ, quit victimizing . . .
It is my belief that right wing radicals have:
a)grabbed the “mantle of goodness” regarding “patriotism” and throw elbows and knees at anyone non-rightist, in a perverted and twisted “protectionism” on the subject;
b)having now usurped all the “goodness” related to “patriotism”, they and they alone define what is, and more importantly, what is not…patriotism, in America;
c)because “they” and they alone “fought” in the wars, (whether old enough to walk, alive at the time, or living anywhere near where the fighting actually took place), nobody else is “qualified” to speak on the subject;
d)the newly owned and defined right-controlled “patriotism” is not an eight lane highway in post modern multi-cultural, melting pot America, quite frankly, it has a traffic flow in only one direction
I would be happy to discuss how to fix this “problem” that you identify, if you are willing to help fix the racism problem, the class warfare problem, the gender warfare problem, the sexual orientation warfare problem, the tear down the system problem, the Keynesian problem and the jihad problem that your side of the fence exacerbates, often starts and through which, universally disgraces itself.
If you do that, the “patriotism” issue will be solved.
I am interested in ending the warfare between and among all Americans. Are you?
No-sensy lacks the price of admnission to a debate among adults. No-sensy is only interested in posting his drive-by non-sequiturs, leftist talking points and having his way with his collection of stuffed animals in his parents’ basement.
His choice of a screen name tells us that he seethes with jealousy and bitter resentment of his betters; he seeks to redeem his failures and feelings of inadequacy with snark and contumely. You know, some people, when they don’t like what they see in the mirror, choose to do better and strive to improve their circumstances. As a coercive utopian, no-sensy would rather shatter the mirror and blame others for his evident and egregious personal failings and lack of ability to comprehend the world around him. It’s the cheap ticket out, and everyone can see it save for him. Sad. Sad, because those like no-sensy are usually the first to experience the full effect of the consequences of their very bad decisions. There is great irony in that, should those like no-sensy get what they are actually asking for, it is highly unlikely that would survive it.
Leftists are un-patriotic by ideology. They spurn nationalism, and promote rule by foreign governmental bodies in every instance. American Leftists hate America, and, as O’bwana pointed out re exceptionalism, Brit Leftists hate Britain, and Greek Leftists hate Greece. American Leftists are no more racist than anybody else (it’s a normal, universal human trait) but they believe that their own race is the lowest of the low and constantly seek to subjugate their own people. This is so perverse that ordinary people cannot process it as ‘racism’.
This is an utterly idiotic attempt at an analogy. Nothing you wrote is true. Just taking the opposite stance in a “I know you are but what am I” mode is not even thinking but just typing. What you reacted to is accurate and true.
Another statistic that goes overlooked is the percentage of blacks and browns amongst our prison populations. Does it actually mean that 80% of all violent crime in this country is being committed by less than 30% of the population? I’m not the smartest man in town but even I can see that there’s something wrong with this picture.
Look it up for yourself.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#Prison_population
“Does it actually mean that 80% of all violent crime in this country is being committed by less than 30% of the population?”
Well, after being robbed at gunpoint on three occasions, I can report that 100% of the perps I encountered fit a very specific ethnic, gender, and age profile.
So according to my personal data collection, I’d respond with “absolutely yes” to your query.
Sorry, this doesn’t matter. As of now at least, you are permitted to discuss your personal experience. However, in Europe they have come to the point of recognizing that reality is racist. As in: truth is no defense to a charge of uttering politically incorrect speech. That the truth contradicts every aspect of Leftist ideology is the reason every Leftist government eventually ends up as totalitarian.
Friend, every Leftist group STARTS OUT totalitarian. That is the very essence of Leftism.Thus the gulags, czars, controls, etc. The only tolerable values are those of the empowered elite. People, as they are but chance collocations of subatomic particles, have no inherent value or rights. Since there is no God, they have only those privileges with which Government choose to grace them.And Government may choose to be whimsical, capricious, malevolent.All Leftism is anarchy and chaos; irrational subjective existentialism. They void the Laws of Rationality, Identity, Contradiction and Excluded Middle as their irrational notions cannot stand the test of reason.
That’s exactly what it means. Go to the DOJ website and look at who’s committing crime in this country. Then start blaming the people who don’t commit the crimes as institutional racists and the criminals the innocent one.
Remember, no profiling at airports either. Muslims represent the religion of peace. Strip search children and nuns if you want results.
You’re a Neanderthal Dunphy. Profiling is never the answer. The proper solution is require each Los Angeles resident to submit to a full-body scan upon leaving his home. Only in this way can true social justice be accomplished.
At this point, it is time for large cities to just have an area like Boston’s “Combat Zone”, an enter at your own risk area where anything goes. Spend a few dollars, let the law-abiding people move out if they wish, then let the criminal element have its way, as long as they keep the crime in the area. then after a few months or years of carnage, maybe somebody in the DoJ will wake up and find that profiling is not racist.
The reality is that this is the price we pay for letting government and the social left destroy the nuclear family in this country, especially among minorities. One day and awful lot of people are going to have to answer for the evil they have done to so many poor people.
Re: the evil clowns Holder and Obama. They are not incompetent, they are not misguided. They are dedicated Communists and Socialists, contemptuous toward the U.S. Constitution, and using every means legal and illegal, to destroy our U.S. Republic.
How odd. Holder’s department is unable to accomplish ‘race neutral’ adherence to the law and to justice. Why isn’t Holder gone already?
It runs in my mind that Obama made the underlying cause of his police philosophy clear by-and-large saying that, “White Cops Are Stupid!”
As statistically evidenced in this article it strongly applies to Los Angeles.
However, it should be noted that cops aren’t the only folks that fit this way into Obama’s thinking.. He felt the same way about his own mother.
Ah yes. The blur between good policing and racial profiling in the name of political correctness.
Los Angeles may be a prime example of the statistics but it’s probably the same everywhere. We can make all sorts of arguments as to why the racial disparity exists; and many of them would be good arguments that even I would support. Things like opportunity, environment, and quality of education all play a part. The bottom line, though, is the crime statistics.
In some areas it’s Black or Latino, in most boarder states it’s probably Mexican. For all I know it could be whites in some parts of the country. And let’s not forget that it’s Muslims in airports around the world. The fact is that the statistics don’t lie and law enforcement has their hands tied. We only need to look at the very recent TSA “standard procedures” of patting down ten year-olds to see the absurdity of it all.
In one district that I’m familiar with, a high level officer was raked over the coals for putting out a message to his small community to be on the lookout for a black male followed by clothing and other physical description. He was called racist. It didn’t seem to matter that a strong armed robbery in which the victim suffered bodily injury had just been committed by a black male.
The Los Angeles incident supports the words of author George MacDonald Fraser, “The two pillars of political correctness are willful ignorance and a steadfast refusal to face the truth.”
Groups stigmatize themselves, not others. If white folks were committing 7 times as many crimes as anyone else I’d want to know about it so as to have a chance of getting some kind of cultural handle on it. Holder should pay more attention to his own DOJ’s statistics on crime by race which I am surprised he has not attempted to quash. So, the idea is to pretend statistics and reality aren’t there in the name of political correctness? This country is far down the tubes and Obama and Holder and their debauched sense of justice are leading the way.
If whites were committing 7 times as many crimes as anyone else, I’d want to know about so as to have the chance to avoid those violent honkey crackers! “Arrest the usual suspects” isn’t laziness. It’s done because it works.
The officers’ comments, Justice officials found, spoke to a “perception and attitude of some LAPD officers on the street” and suggested “a culture that is inimical to race-neutral policing.”
Funny, the DOJ doesn’t seem awfully interested in race-neutral voting procedures. Why are they so concerned about race-neutral policing? Hypocrisy, thy name is Holder….
Racial profiling, or the condemned practice formerly known as “stereotyping”, is as natural a consequence of human interactions in all cultures, places, times and societies as the moon rising. To deny this is to bury one’s head in the sand with one’s feathery end in the air. Recall Holder’s boss referring to his grandmother as a “typical white woman”. Other than the hypocritical, double standard revealed by Obama’s remark, who really cares about the expression?
For an objective observer to conclude that particular conventions and behaviors are characteristic tendencies of a racial or ethnic group is all around us and in no way exceptional or, I would argue, malevolent. Many people initially recognize another’s membership in a particular group precisely because of associated visual cues, such as facial hair, head cover, or manner of dress. What ever happened to the standard of “the reasonable man” who considers “the totality of circumstances”? Juan Williams, as one recent example, had the intellectual courage and honesty to candidly note that his own personal experience had influenced his perception of the world around him. The fact that it does is less disturbing than the fact that he was castigated for the telling the politically incorrect truth. Only by denying this simple and clear concept can the Left perpetuate the myth that such impulses must be suppressed in action, speech, and thought on pain of being branded with the scarlet letter of racism. If such is racism, then we all are racists and the term loses its pejorative sting.
As for the LA Times (or the “la Times”, as it’s known locally in recognition of its pandering to a changing demographic), it has for many years placed breathtakingly irrelevant anecdotal drivel above the fold–and throughout the rest of the paper. Its editorial policies and positions rival those of the New York Times or the Washington Post, and its recent embrace of something it unobtrusively calls “blended news” (defined as a “blend” of news and opinion) has resulted in blatant editorializing of articles appearing throughout the paper. I, for one, canceled my decades-old subscription and have turned elsewhere for my news and information.
Small wonder the Times is dying.
What ordinary people, who develop their opinions through real-world experience, understand is that in human groups, one group will dominate other groups. Whites might dominate in the US, or blacks, or Mexicans, but the salient fact is that one group will dominate the others. Leftists have destroyed entire academic disciplines (sociology, anthropology, psychology) in order to obscure this fact, and to then deny it. If it’s possible to search out old writings by Samuel Francis, he described the Leftist project in the US as “anarcho-tyranny”. Law-abiding citizens are ruthlessly regimented, while the lawless are allowed to run wild. Thus, the infamous turn-’em-loose-Bruce” type liberal judges.
We all have our own cross to bear and the blacks seem to be having problems bearing theirs. You were born unto this earth with dark skin but you at the same time were given LIFE. Thank God above that you are here on earth and given life to live to it’s fullest and to accomplish whatever it is you desire to accomplish. Of course you will accomplish only self pity if you continue to accept the racist teachings of those that continue to tell you that your’re inferior. Are you inferior?” If you feel you are then change your life and tell the likes of Holder, Sharpton, Jackson and all others that keep the pot stirred, to go to hell, and start living your life for you and your family not for them and their need to keep racisim alive.
All those Americans who voted for Obama certainly are morons and that is alot of them.
Our common problem is that we love whining with regard to outrageous actions being constantly committed by this outrageous administration.
As an old Russian fable says: “cat Basil is listening but keeps eating (what the cook prohibited him to eat).” -:)
I translate: Holder and his Chief and all subordinate accomplices turn a deaf ear, blithely ignore the growing criticism.
They DO NOT understand words. And never will.
What do you think they will understand?
….
I think the same.
If the Gov tells you that the “N” word is racist and you should not describe a man by color ,then they are the racist ones.Holder and Obama are the most racist.Just the same is Rockerfella trying to close Fox News.Racist???
Thank god I live in Australia where I call blacks ,lazy buggers,because it is the truth.The left here would have you believe they are not equal,but MORE EQUAL. I think America has the same problem only bigger.
Mr. Dunphy doesn’t pull punches. He tells it like it is despite the political correctness foisted on us by the powers that be. Thank you Jack, for the truth.
Mr. Dunphy, I love your posts. I live in Philadelphia where things are much the same. Canceling my subscription to the Pinky (formerly the Inky or Philadelphia Inquirer) has improved my view of life in and around the city. Fat, happy & ignorant, that’s me. And constantly on guard.
Destroy the left and you will destroy racism. Why mince words.
OR
Wall off the big cities much like the movie Escape from NY. Let the progressive whites live among their voters.
While the rest of the nation’s citizens prosper.
Holder is a blight on the Justice Department, no surprise he’s obama’s head guy. He needs to be disbarred.
You said “disbarred.”
I read: “disballed.”
Strange, isn’t it?
Why not go ahead in the next Congress and investigate him and his administration and then not only convict but also impeach him as well as many under him? That would be a good start now wouldn’t it?
I was just listening to Juan Williams interviewing the TSA Administrator Mr. Pistole. A particularly intensive word exchange occurred with regard to profiling.
I now can summarize what the latter said (it’s my interpretation, not a quote):
“What makes America great is that Americans can openly express their opinion and we administrators can openly spit upon them.”
The DOJ should butt the bleep out of LA’s business , as per the tenth admendment .
Maybe you did not hear what the new black panther was saying while intimidating white voters. As long as eric holder is running the US-DOJ it will not do their job. It is so said to see people like eric holder and obama hold such high positions in our government and to show how unqualified to do their jobs the people trusted them to do. Obama and holder have been an embarrassment to the people of their own race. There are a lot smarter and qualified blacks that would diffidently do a superior job compared to obama and holder. This country needs a leader not someone to shine soros`s shoes. I do not care what color they are or even gender, as long as they are strong leaders for our country!
You said: “how unqualified to do their jobs the people trusted them to do.”
I’m afraid that this is our problem: we are blaming obama-holder-vanjones – anitadunn-pelosi-reid-etc-etc for “how unqualified they are to do the job.”
When and if there are cockroaches in your home, whom you blame for that – cockroaches or yourself?
There is nothing more meaningless (to say very, very softly) than to blame cockroaches for being cockroaches: cockroaches are always very much qualified to do the job they do.
It’s up to us whether we like that kind of job or not.
But pelosi and reid and murkowski and many other cockroaches…oops, sorry, prominent politicians are just elected again.
Whom to blame?
Surely this is not the same Justice Department that encourages Black Panthers to intimidate White voters at polling sites or the same bunch that isn’t smart enough to get a conviction for a mass murderer, is it? For boobs like that to ‘warn’ anyone about anything is almost laughable, except that it is so serious. Why are we still paying Eric Holder’s salary? I guess it is because he is another affirmative action Black. How stupid are we?
What else would you expect from Holder, who was personally involved in obtaining the pardons for the Puerto Rican terrorists and engineering the pardon of Marc Rich, who was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List; having been convicted, in absentia, for multiple felonies. Of course, Holder committed that particular engineering job while he was working for President Clinton and only after Marc Rich’s wife “contributed” a few million to Clinton’s campaign funds and his “presidential library fund”. Eric Holder, thy middle name is “HYPOCRITE”!
Oh, I almost forgot. Great job with helping Arizona solve their “problems.”
No wonder every American I know thinks America is not going to get out of this nightmare. Why? Two more years of Barry Hussein O’bwana and Eric Holder.
i rather Obama than 8 years of BUSH
not only do all blacks have a “one for all and all for one” mentality when it comes to elections (thus the 99.9% of black votes for hussein obama in the election) but they all also believe that everything that ever happens to them in life is because of the color of their skin, every bad grade in school, every look from another person (of any race), anything, they never take responsibility for their own actions or outcomes. Even when Bill Cosby (a black man) blamed black parents for their kids behavior they tried to say he was out of touch. I’ve even heard of two black officers being accused of racial profiling over a ticket by a black man in a car with tinted windows, its true. Being black is an excuse for most black people and they use it well.
Call ‘em as you see ‘em…..There is no room for PC in law enforcement. If they do the crime they need to do the time….Black, Brown, Green or Orange…..minority arrests are higher….because more minorities do the crimes…end of story……DAH!
Talk, talk, talk. Everyone pretty much has the same opinion but nothing will get done. It just isn’t possible. Washington doesn’t listen to the people anymore. They are too busy trying to get re-elected, mounting their secretaries, stealing from the public coffers, buying votes, voting cemetaries, etc. Look at Rangel, should have been lynched a long time ago but the ignorant blacks in Harlem, NY keeps re-electing him even after it was proven he mislead the IRS and his constituents. No one from Harlem can ever wear $5000 suits, $600 shoes and own a summer house on an island without being dirty. Let’s get a movement on to create a 28th Amendment already being looked at that says members of Congress have the same kind of health coverage we do, the same kind of retirement,wages,etc. That they cannot pass laws that they are exempt from. All it takes is 35 states to ratify it guys and I think that there are already 28 in favor of it.
i was assualted by lapd. my witnesses were not contacted. when you experience what i did then you should speak. to date my matter has been ignored and i just contacted the Department of Justice. And i now have video to support claim. And you people will say I deserved the treatment. How sad.
