Rise in hate crimes

[LALady]

Everyone see the video of the BART officer shooting the unarmed man inthe back? Now talk about your hate crimes! People don't realize how much violent crime is committed under cover of authority.

For those of you who haven't seen the videos it's shocking. Just search on Bart / shooting. Cops have an man on the ground in the bart station. He's on his back with one cop's knew on his head neck. The other cop stands, pulls his gun and shoots the guy in the back. At first, Bart said videos didn't exist but cell phone videos came out of the woodwork. It's pretty horrendous to see.

Is an Anglo American India somebody who was born in India, moved to Britain, then finally America? That's a lot of moving.

How did somebody in that scenario commit a hate crime?

as we run out of money and realize the inability of the government to keep law and order
civil rights will go out the window.
when you drain the tank the fish get crowded.
they know all that. thats why you have the big push for gun control.
honestly if you read these CDF anti cop posts you would think cops got nothing better to do and they are the only ones shooting people amazing.

think the problem is with black born here themsleves. My parents were not born here. But they followed along and did fine. They never said " how much better things are in our country" Because this IS now their home. Besides a false sense of entitlement. I think they forget most white people here knew things were wrong. Many years ago Lincoln said so much and many white people fought and DIED to give Black freedom- How much more can you ask then a war and people losing their life. Plus a lot of false information needs to be addressed, Many slaves were sold by black in Africa, not stolen.
Most peope here were not liked or welcomed when they came- Places had signed saying " Irish need not apply" Chinese were used to build railroads and treated much like slave " a china man's chance"
was used since so many died on this work and no on cared- in fact the Chinese could not be citizen!
Most countries in history had slaves, Greeks, Romans, Egyptains, and so on.
There are still slaves today in many places- kids in sweat shops, or diamond mines.
So it is time for people here- that were bon free and never a slave to stop using this excuse and start
making things better. Time to accept it was done to their ancestor and it is over. It can't be changed,
but do not let that stop people from being responible NOW for their actions.
The reason, the chinese, the irish , the italians are doing ok now- Is they did not let the negatives get
in their way and worked hard to get want they wanted in life- No excuses!
That the key- take your life in your own hands and donlt blame anyone for your own actions!

To me, there's nothing for me to hate about the Los Angeles area, but one thing; the homosexuality has to end. I know that that's a state issue, but L.A, being the biggest city in CA, that's where the change could start at.

Is your post for real or are you just trying to stir things up? Gays are among the least of LA's problems and no I'm not gay but I'm very pleased Prop 8 was overturned. You are living in the wrong place if you are that narrow minded.
