My Grandmother lived in a very, very similar neighborhood. 40 years ago.

About 10 years later (mid-80's), after everyone else had fled and her house had been broken into for the 3rd time in less than six months, she received a personal visit from the chief of police who told her to get the hell out before she was killed.

I'm sure that her stubbornness to not draw conclusions about her new neighbors based on their skin color was commendable by some, but not realistic.

So spare me this nonsense. Please. Put up or shut up. Move to a neighborhood that is 95%+ non-white and tell us again how unfair it is that everyone that gets arrested there is non-white. Or sit in your ivory tower and do it. It really makes no difference. It's appalling hypocritical regardless.

One of the interesting things the Pew Foundation found out was that whites who live with black neighbors are much more likely to say that the police treat black Americans unfairly than whites who live in primarily white neighborhoods. Probably because we actually see it happen. I have.

Here's an excerpt from the report about execution of black citizens by police:

"5. Not Armed: Most of the people executed were not armed. The police and the corporate media often justify fatal shooting of “suspects” by loudly announcing that they were armed. Yet, it is legal to carry guns—even unregistered guns-- in most states. We have tabulated the number of people killed by police who were armed, not because we agree with the authorities that weapons’ possession is in-itself a criminal activity—especially on the part of young Black men. Rather, we present this data only to demonstrate how flimsy police justification often is.

136 (or 44% of 313) had no weapon at all at the time they were executed.

83 (or 27% of 313) allegedly possessed a gun. It has been demonstrated that police reports of gun possession frequently turn out to be false. Police are infamous for planting weapons or declaring that a cell phone, wallet or other harmless object is a gun. We, therefore, coded “armed status” as “alleged” if there was no corroboration that a suspect was indeed armed. Another 6
people or 2% were alleged to possess knives or other cutting tools.

62 (20% of the 313) Did, in fact, possess guns—and that total includes at least 3 toy or replica guns. Another 23 (7%) had verified knives or cutting implements.

It is also important to keep in mind that after reading through the details of 313 killings, only 42 of them (13%) involved a “suspect” definitely or allegedly shooting—which would make the gun possession illegal."
