All liberal news outlets are censoring the reason they give is they dont want a false impression of people of color. I only have one question ? WHO is committing these crimes you are hiding from the public
Authorities in the San Francisco Bay Area have a funny way of protecting their citizens. They barely lift a finger (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8726) (and worse (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2017/04/13/here-we-go-again-conservatives-speech-cancelled-at-berkeley-over-security-concerns-n2312756)) when violent mobs shut down political speeches, they offer sanctuary to illegal immigrants like the man who ended up murdering a young American woman after having been deported five times (http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/03/us/san-francisco-killing-suspect-immigrant-deported/index.html), and now they're censoring security footage of criminal attacks on their public transit system. Why? Because they don't want to "create racial bias" by showing images of the perpetrators. Via Legal Insurrection (http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/07/san-francisco-transit-refuses-to-release-robbery-videos-over-fears-of-racism/), here is the local CBS affiliate's story on the developing controversy (http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/07/09/bart-withholding-surveillance-videos-of-crime-to-avoid-stereotypes/):
April 22: Forty to sixty kids boarded a train at the Coliseum stop and robbed seven passengers, beating up two; June 28: A group of four kids assaulted a passenger and made off with a cell phone at Dublin; and June 30: A woman on a train with about a dozen teenagers had her phone snatched by one them before the group got off at the Coliseum stop. Thankfully, a good Samaritan was on hand to retrieve the phone.
So far, BART has refused to turn over surveillance video for any of these incidents. Allen told us the agency issued an explanation for why it is being tight-lipped about the thefts. “To release these videos would create a high level of racially insensitive commentary toward the district,” she was told. “And in addition it would create a racial bias in the riders against minorities on the trains.” According to a memo distributed to BART Directors, the agency won’t do a press release on the June 30 theft because it was a “petty crime” that would make BART look “crime ridden.” Furthermore, it would “unfairly affect and characterize riders of color, leading to sweeping generalizations in media reports.”
