Ponderable

Just like most groups of people contain a few criminally minded, most groups contain some stubbornly ignorant people, like you.
Just the nanny state and big brother watching, we all know you fully support this type of Anti American behavior.

The Pox of Multiculturalism
By Bruce Walker
What the left calls "multiculturalism" is actually the systematic destruction of cultures and the replacement of these cultures by a synthetic, artificial, and meaningless global culture. When the left talks about "diversity," it really means the crushing of differences in thought, values, and art into a sort of baby food which neither nourishes the soul or elevates the mind.

If you see something, say something (unless you see black)
By Ed Straker
There has been a spate of articles recently about white people calling the police against black people who were apparently doing nothing wrong, like sleeping in a common room in Yale, attempting to urinate in Starbucks, shopping at Nordstrom Rack, and playing on a golf course.

The idea behind these articles is that white people are racist. The New York Times is even trying to fan this outrage by inviting readers to write them about times when minorities have been treated unjustly, to provide grist for future articles on the subject, in a piece entitled "Tell us about a time you judged someone based on a stereotype."

A few points to make about this:

1. The liberal media rarely report the whole story about these events. Specifically, they often exclude key facts, such as the suspicious behavior that made people call the police.

2. These stories are cherrypicked. We see the ones reported where the black people have committed no crimes. There are never, ever stories of the times black people are arrested for crimes after someone phones in a "suspicious person" report. What percentage of suspicious persons reports end up being valid? The Times doesn't want to know; it just wants more stories of stereotypes.

3. Liberals insist that citizens be disarmed because the police will protect them. Now they are saying citizens shouldn't call the police.

4. People call the police to report suspicious activity of many people, not just blacks. I should know, because it happened to me. When I moved to a new town, I went out and walked my dog. It wasn't long before a police car came by and asked me a series of probing questions – who I was, where I came from, and where I was going. The police also asked to see my identification. Obviously, someone on the street thought I looked suspicious and called the police.

Do I believe I was stopped because I was white, or that the person who called the police was a black person who hates white people? No. It was a misunderstanding. It happens.


5. It is not always clear what is "suspicious" behavior and what is not. Calling the police on a hunch, even in error, is not racist. It is up to police to evaluate the call and to decide whether it merits investigation.

6, The police are usually called disproportionately more for suspicious black people than suspicious white people. That is because black people commit disproportionately more crimes than white people, just as young men commit disproportionately more crimes than old women. Is this "fair"? No. Is this life? Yes.

7. After 9-11, the government sent us a message: "If you see something [suspicious], say something." Law enforcement didn't seem to worry about false alarms. They wanted to know. Neighborhood crime watches operate in much the same way.

8. If I were a black person, I wouldn't be happy about being stopped more by the police than a white person. But I would put up with it, because black crime disproportionately affects black people, and if the price of being safer is occasionally being inconvenienced by well behaved police, I'd certainly consider that a good tradeoff.

But now liberals want the "If you see something, say something" motto changed to "If you see something, say something, unless black." If you call the police on a black person who is not actually committing a crime, you're a racist.

This is just an extension of Obama's "the police are racist" campaign. That campaign was intended to demoralize the police and discourage them from doing their job; this campaign is intended to discourage citizens from encouraging the police to do the same.

The price of a gallon of gas costs dramatically more in California than in the rest of the country for a variety of reasons, but government meddling, rising house costs and steep taxes are playing a significant role.

Republicans are threatening to turn a recently passed gas tax increase into a millstone to wrap around the necks of vulnerable Democrats. Years of tax increases, pricey fees and a lack of infrastructure in California could provide the pressure required to give those threats some legitimacy.

Former Democratic Gov. Gray Davis of California has experience with such recriminations. He was recalled in 2003 for mishandling the state’s budget and increasing California’s car registration fees — it was only the second such recall election in U.S. history. Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger ultimately won the election November of that same year.




A similar situation is unfolding in 2018. Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown of California signed a law in 2017 imposing a 12 cents a gallon increase on citizens and raising the tax on diesel fuel by 20 cents a gallon. It also implements an additional charge to annual vehicle license fees ranging from $25 to $175 depending on the car’s value.

Brown sold the bill as a way to fix the state’s roads, but reports show the bulk of the money has not gone to street upkeep. California’s Transportation Agency announced in April grants to recipients for some $2.6 billion of the transit funding raised through the law. The awardsinclude $28.6 million for 40 electric buses and $40.5 million for light-rail vehicles in Sacramento. Nearly 28 projects were awarded cash from the gas tax increase. None of them involves road upkeep.

"Tonight, I was racially profiled by Timmonsville Officer CAUSE I WAS DRIVING A MERCEDES BENZ AND GOING HOME IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD," Timmonsville NAACP President Rev. Jerrod Moultrie said in an April 13 Facebook post, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

"He made a comment that the officer accused him of having drugs in the car,” Timmonsville Police Chief Billy Brown said, according to the station. “He said that his wife and grandchild was in the car. He asked them not to move because the officer looked as if he might shoot them or something. He also made mention that the officer continued to ask him about his neighborhood. Why was he in that neighborhood? And threaten[ed] to put him in jail in reference to something dealing with the registration to the vehicle."

Brown told the station that after reviewing the bodycam video of the stop, he determined there was nothing to Moultrie’s claims.

"When I saw the video, I was shocked that someone who is supposed to be a community leader, a pastor, and head of the NAACP would just come out and tell a blatant lie,” the police chief said. “It bothered me. It really bothered me, thinking about the racial unrest it could've cost in the community and it's just troubling to me that someone who held a position like that would come out and just tell a lie.”

Based on the body camera footage, the officer who stopped Moultrie neither asked if he had drugs in the car nor why he was driving in the area,” the Raleigh News & Observer reported.
