Earlier this week, the NYPD sent out the above photo of a man who allegedly exposed himself to a female rider on the G train. After we shared the photo, a tipster emailed us to tell us she too had been subject to the suspect's public lewdness, but was unable to report him at the time. Per the tipster: [ more › ]

f you happen to be a black man living in West Virginia these days, bad water isn't all you have to worry about. Apparently there is an APB out on you. No black man in particular; any black man will do.
They want you for participating in some "suspicious activity".
That is so vague. I mean "suspicious activity" could be anything for crying out loud.
That's why this is somewhat problematic for men of color in that state. Unless, of course, you happen to be a well known black man in West Virginia. (Whatever happened to Major Harris?)
For instance, you might be walking down the street and minding your own business, but because you happen to have a copy of the Wall Street Journal you get arrested. Yes you could; because in West Virginia a black man reading the Wall Street Journal just might be viewed as "suspicious." Do you see where I am coming from? This is messed up on so many levels.
Oh well, this is all just a sign of the times. The more things change.....
But here is a scary thought: A few years ago, before the Internet and social media, this wouldn't even have been a big deal. Just business as usual here in some parts of America.
Good ole boys and gals would meet in the town square and exchange pleasantries about the whole thing.
"Hey, you seen any suspicious Negroes, lately?" "Nah, not yet, although I did see one down at the Piggly Wiggly and he was checking out mighty fast." "What he look like?" "Bald, dark skin, bout 5'10' 5'11'." "Did you get his license plate number? We might have to inform the sheriff about this."
Oh lord! Hey, at least it's not Oklahoma.
Any black man will do.

Almost 50 Percent Of Black Men Have Been Arrested By 23
44% for Hispanics and 38% for whites…and we already know who gets popped the most for marijuana possession.
According to The Atlantic:
Up until now, the most shocking statistic about the American criminal justice system was this: we house 5 percent of the world’s population, but 25 percent of the world’s prisoners.
Here’s a stat that’s even more troublesome: By age 23, nearly 50 percent of America’s black males, 44 percent of Hispanic males, and 38 percent of white males have been arrested.
These numbers come from a new study (paywalled) in the journal Crime & Delinquency. In it, University of South Carolina criminologist Robert Brame and his team examine self-reported arrest histories collected through the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. The survey started in 1997, when the 9,000 participants were between the ages of 12 and 16. The participants have been interviewed annually every year since. Brame’s study uses data from 1997-2008.
Thanks to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, we’ve known the rate at which whites and blacks are arrested, but Brame’s study is the first to look at cumulative arrests for blacks and whites, and to break that data down by gender. The former number measures how many more times a black person is arrested than a white person; Brame’s research tells us the number of black people arrested versus the number of white people arrested. These stark numbers put America’s tendency to over-criminalize, well, everything. Today, police can place you in handcuffs for using a camera on public property, or littering. The slow expansion of activities deemed to be criminal began in the late 1980s, and today it manifests itself in harsh penalties for nonviolent, victimless behavior, the school-to-prison pipeline, and our engorged prison system.
Peep the chart below and discuss…
By the tender age of 23….how many of you had to deal with this?

Poor Teyana. Why can’t some black people act right?
According to The NY Post
Shooting At Teyana Taylor’s Cookout
It’s not a July 4th cookout until someone catches a mean slug. Does the heat make some black people crazy? Damn homie it’s the July 4th cookout not World War 3. Calm that isht down.
A 200-person party hosted by local rapper Teyana Taylor in Morningside Park descended into mayhem late yesterday — leaving one cop hurt and another reveler arrested, police and attendees said.
The crowd gathered around 9pm at West 120th Street and Morningside Avenue and quickly got out of hand, party-goers said in Facebook posts.
“It’s like LA (cali) after a riot out here at Morningside park. Police everywhere. Helicopters in the sky. Madness,” posted Aaron Rose.
The mob first occupied the park, then moved on to the West Side Highway and attempted to climb the fences of Riverbank State Park.
A Housing sergeant injured his shoulder trying to quell the crowd, and a 14-year-old was arrested for firing a gun into the air, police said.
“They just shot Teyana Taylor cookout up,” read one post on Twitter, while another noted “After it got dark teyana taylor cookout got mixxy lol ..had to leave.”
Taylor recently signed to Kanye West’s music label.
Ninjas shooting up the movie theater, the cookout, the club….what’s next? Maybe bullets should cost like $5,000 and then people would think twice about firing a gun into a crowd. That’s some punk isht.

At the urging of a brave Bronx teacher brutally raped by a city cop, the state Assembly unanimously passed a bill Wednesday to toughen the state’s rape laws. The so-called “rape is rape” bill would classify vaginal, anal and oral contact as rape. The latter two, under current state law, ...

If you are a "dark skinned male" in Boston, you might not want to go out for the next few days. According to John King of CNN, one of his sources told him that a "dark skinned male" has been identified as a suspect and arrested for his role in the Boston Marathon massacre. Of course we know now that Mr. King, like the clowns at FOX, were wrong.
My warning is for dark skinned males only, so you Negroes can relax. If it was one of you he would have said that a "black male" has been arrested or identified as a suspect. You white guys with a tan can chill as well, I don't think that he meant you, either.
“I was told they have a breakthrough in the identification of the suspect, and I’m told — and I want to be very careful about this because people get very sensitive when you say these things — I was told by one of these sources who’s a law enforcement official that this was a dark-skinned male,” King reported. “The official used some other words, I’m going to repeat them until we get more information because of the sensitivities. There are some people who will take offense even in saying that.”
Count me in John. I think you are a moron.You make it easier for people like this to thrive. But, sadly, you were not alone:
"CNN’s Fran Townsend — who was a former Homeland Security Advisor to President George W. Bush — backed up King’s report with her own sources.
“What was perfectly clear to me, according to this official, an arrest has been made,” Townsend said.
But within 45 minutes, Townsend was back on the air, explaining that there had been a “misunderstanding.”
“There’s not somebody in custody or arrested,” she stuttered. “The situation is very fluid… There was a misunderstanding. That was said to me, not so much that we had misunderstood, but that there has been a misunderstanding and lots of cross communication.”
So this is what we call being an irresponsible journalist these days: Having a "misunderstanding" and getting caught up in"cross communications".
Poor Richard Jewell just turned in his grave.
Finally, there are 46 senators in Washington who should not sleep well tonight. But unfortunately we all know that they will.
They are the best politricksters that NRA money can buy, and they have once again done their master's bidding by voting against extended background checks for gun shows and online purchases.
The irony is that this amendment was being sponsored by a conservative Democrat and an even more conservative republican. This did not matter to the whores who wear wingtip shoes and dark suits, their pimps told them to vote no and that's exactly what they did.

At least one local leader thinks Bronx residents need to step up to the plate concerning police-community relations. Sheikh Moussa Drammeh believes that the discord between minority groups and cops in the borough stems from finger-pointing and bad politics, not bad policing.

Yesterday we journeyed to Rikers Island for a press conference about the Department of Corrections' new efforts to reduce recidivism, by helping inmates earn their GED, stay sober, or get a state-issued ID. And during our brief jaunt to the island, a couple of things jumped out at us... like this fine collection of confiscated shivs! Do with this information what you will. [ more › ]

During his weekly WOR Radio show interview this morning, Mayor Bloomberg made it abundantly clear that he is opposed to legalizing marijuana. The Associated Press reports that Bloomberg told host John Gambling he "opposes legalizing marijuana because it's stronger than it used to be. [Bloomberg] added that if marijuana were legal, those dealers would just start selling something else, like cocaine." And we obviously can't legalize coke, either—not when we're finally turning the corner on the War on Drugs. [ more › ]
