Hi bbotcs, the video in the link shows the race of the attackers. But yes other than describing the age of the kids in the group, any other description was not mentioned. Although the reference to Roxbury was a hint.
The point of my posts on this subject is this: The injustice african americans experience doesnt happen in a vacuum. My post about crime in Minneapolis makes it clear that african american men are 16 times more likely to commit violent crimes than white Minneapolis men. So what demographic group are the Minneapolis police gonna mistreat ? Hmmmmmm I wonder. Is it fair ? Of course not. But there's a way to fix it, but that would involve fixing the root cause of it all.
And in this Boston story, the Police basically say they cant stop them. What they dont say is that there's a big downside if they tried. Cuz you can see that to arrest them, the police would have to use force. And with people videoing the apprehensions ..... well ...... who's gonna be accused of using excessive force ?
