Re: “Jaywalking” and racist cops?
People are being struck with a sickening regularity in this area. While traffic fatalities as a whole continue to fall, pedestrian accidents have increased every year for a decade. In Michigan, there was a 15.9% increase between 2016 and 2017, with a total of 74 deaths.

Re: “Jaywalking” and racist cops?
I drive through Detroit city proper on my way to work. The frequency I see people just walking into traffic with the apparent attitude of thinking traffic won’t touch them is alarming. The road isn’t THAT fun to play in. But play stupid game, win a stupid prize. This isn’t so apparent in the suburbs, even much more densely populated suburbs.

Re: “Jaywalking” and racist cops?
I almost killed a woman that was Jaywalking.
It was rush hour and this woman just decided to walk right into the road... right in front of every car.
If I had happened to have looked away for even a second, she would be dead.
I swerved and hit her purse with my passenger side mirror.
I got out of the car and started screaming, but she was too busy crawling around looking for her wallet and almost got run over 2 more times.
Then she tries to just leave. So I'm screaming at her in the middle of the road to get the hell back here and that she's paying for my mirror. She attempted to leave at least 3 more times while I waited for the police
Her excuse for all this was that "other cars always stop".. so this obviously wasn't her first time walking into traffic....
When the cops came, one of them jokingly told me I shouldn't have swerved out of the way. (But I feel like he was being dead serious... ) (the woman was black btw)

https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/03/13 ... aywalking/
“The Department of Justice report on the Ferguson Police Department discussed that 95% of those cited in the city for jaywalking are black. In New York City, the vast majority of jaywalking tickets aren’t issued in the affluent Upper East Side but in poorer areas like the Bronx and 81% of minor infractions are taken out on Blacks or Latinxs. In Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, 89% of violators targeted are people of color despite being a city that is primarily white.
“And our neighbor to the north, Los Angeles? They mainly target people of color and the homeless and act as “an added tax for the crime of being poor.”

Re: “Jaywalking” and racist cops?
Maybe because nobody comes on a radio and TV message board to read about jaywalking...

Did you know LL 101 says that L.A. is our neighbor to the north, Now I have to find my geography teacher and tell her she’s wrong, She’s probably gone now.

"Between 2013-2017, Detroit had a total of 2,330 pedestrian crashes" It's real...

Dude, it's 2019... If someone wants to know who/where you are, they hit this site's database and run a password hash cracker like Hashcat against it. Binoculars are for bird watching.lovinlife101 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 8:15 pmBut I’m not one to rub your nose in your own ignorance despite your mistaking my clearly indicating quotation marks signifying the information was from the article, you still thought it was said by me.lovinlife101 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 5:42 pmYou still haven’t read the article.

Do you pretend to know where I live? Is that you hiding in the bushes with the binoculars?
Re: “Jaywalking” and racist cops?
It's not. 101 is just a weak troll. There is more than ample evidence of a problem.Steve Korvette wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 10:15 amSo LL 101, Explain to everyone out there as to how this is racist policy, We want to know.lovinlife101 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 3:17 pm Enforcing racist policies!
