They would rather allow assaults to continue than to admit that their suspect was black.
If the suspect had been white, would they have immediately released the photo? In a heartbeat!
Such are the times we live in.
A man suspected of assaulting passengers on two occasions has been tracked down and arrested by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) police, after they reached out to the public. BART had previously refused to publish surveillance images, citing ‘racial bias.’
BART police arrested an African-American man on Monday, less than five hours after appealing to the public for help in identifying a suspect involved in the attacks and releasing pictures taken by the system’s surveillance cameras, according to KTVU.
