Expecting Black Kids to Obey the Law Doesn't Play in Peoria
Police recently attempted to make the streets of Peoria, Illinois safer by reminding students that walking in the middle of them is both illegal and dangerous. After repeated warnings were issued over the intercoms at Manual and Woodruff high schools, they began to ticket students for wandering in the street in front of the schools.
Clarifies Peoria Police Chief Steven Settingsgaard:
The citations were not for crossing the street, not for walking down the side of the street but for walking down the middle of the street for lengths of distance and many times two, three, four, five kids abreast.
Unfortunately it appears that most of the students indulging in this behavior are black. Because blacks are inherently oppressed by the racist exploitative Eurocentric misogynistic homophobic global-warming–inducing white male power structure, it is evidently a crime against humanity to expect them to obey any laws or regulations, even for their own safety. Don Jackson of the NAACP has launched a jihad against the Peoria police, on the grounds that the tickets constitute "racial profiling."
Maybe if the police pay homage to social justice by ticketing white kids for walking on the sidewalk, they'll have cover to ticket some black kids for walking in the middle of the street.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Chief Steven Settingsgaard should ask the NAACP leaders in front of news cameras: "Do you WANT black kids to get killed by cars? DO YOU? Better answer, dammit!"

These "kids" were thugging i.e. crowding the street and intimidating any driver so bold as to dare try driving on their street. Dist 150 asked for PPDs help. Of course, the local race pimps are saying it's racial.
