Trump’s D.C. Crime Crackdown Doesn’t ‘Target Black and Brown Youth’ It Targets CRIMINALS – Twitchy

The Left will never tire of playing the ‘racism!’ card.

Too bad for them that card is no longer valid with the rest of us, because they’ve overplayed it.

But L.A. Mayor Karen Bass insists President Trump’s D.C. crime crackdown is — you guessed it — racist.

Crime was ‘going down’ in D.C. because the Democrats fudged the crime stats.

That’s the only reason why.

Tell me black and brown youth are the cause of crimes, without actually telling me

You know who are also disproportionately the victims of crime? Black and brown youth.

89% of victims in D.C are male, and 94% of those are Black. Over 60% of homicide victims are between 18 and 34 years old.

Or, maybe, here me out, it is the black and brown youth of DC who are causing all the crime in the D.C. area and people are too afraid to speak up and point the malcontents out.

Democrats made them afraid to speak up, and refuse to punish the criminals in the name of ‘equity.’

Only four rebuilding permits have been issued in L.A., by the way.

Why does it mainly impact black and brown youth? Specifically.

And realize what Bass is saying.

“We should let black and brown youths commit crimes.” https://t.co/5k30Wh3p5j

It’s racist not to. Or something.

97% — that’s a lot.

The communist @mayorofla comes out strongly in favor of allowing black and brown youths to commit crimes. https://t.co/9fyOrCgLFW

And she not only demands that the rest of us tolerate it, she wants Black and brown youths to be victims of crime, too.

It sounds like Mayor Bass is saying the quiet part out loud. The crimes are being committed by “Black and Brown youth” https://t.co/9xk9ZZllfK

She sure did.
