As Officer Pomper has pointed out, “Don’t you love the irony? After many years of the City and community activist groups unsuccessfully attempting to prove that Seattle police officers are guilty of racially profiling its citizens (and non-citizens), the City offers proof that it’s the one racially profiling, and further, it even wants to pass laws and implement policies to support it. Amazing!”
The Race and Social Justice Initiative’s goal of total equity is ironic as Seattle is actually the fifth whitest city in America, and while Asians are its largest minority group, African-Americans are found at a lower percentage than in the country as a whole. Seattle also has one of the lowest crimes rates in the country, rates which rise higher in its minority neighborhoods.
Diminishing law enforcement to maintain statistical racial parity means that the police and prosecutors would have to ignore crime in minority neighborhoods, making those neighborhoods even more dangerous. The more law enforcement is under pressure to look away from minority neighborhoods, the more their residents suffer from crime. And arguably that is one of the reasons for the disparity in racial crime statistics.
If race and ethnicity become the determinants of whether a criminal is charged, then not only does Driving While White become a real offense, taking the place of Driving While Black, but minority communities lose out on law enforcement leading to more tragedies like Kiana’s.
“Social justice is not compatible with equal justice,” Officer Pomper warned. “In cities run by ideological progressives, there’s a new political machine in town. No longer content to be mainstream lefties who simply want to impose higher taxes on the productive and then spend the money on whomever is the victim class of the moment, they are now openly violating the Constitution with their push for social justice, which, as they practice it, works in direct opposition to equal justice.”
Unequal enforcement of the law has the net effect of making the law worthless and increasing crime. Such forms of social justice actually create inequity by turning a blind eye to conditions in minority neighborhoods that make aspiration into a much bigger challenge for its residents. And they also feed racial tensions, as the minority sees things worsening for them without being able to identify the cause, and the majority sees their neighbors as a privileged class who are being given a free pass.
Seattle’s liberalism may make it an outlier for some, but programs that take root in one city create pressure for other cities to adopt it as well. As the social justice statisticians take over law enforcement, we can expect that Driving While White will become a crime across America.

What IS "social justice"?
http://www.abcdunlimited.com/ideas/social-justice…
Can you imagine how bad it will get when the community isn’t black but Islamic? When they don’t even want local Law Enforcement in the area and are given the ok (because after all, they want this and it will save us money!) for Sharia tribunals and mitigation hearings for “social and domestic issues” as an extension of the practice of their religion. When they decide matters such as spousal abuse, apostasy and homosexual punishments.
I’m taking bets. I say we will advocate for this ourselves (being the Politically Correct way to go) and when there are 20% in an area and they virtually “Take Over” and from that point on, you’re not even welcome in there; then you will see (although we probably won’t acknowledge them) increased incidents of FGM, Honor Killings, attacks against Jews and other Infidels. Care to take my bet? So you know, I’m basing my bets probability on the experience of Europe so it’s almost…a sure thing.
Oh puleese! This is ALL the RESULT of Judaic social engineering.
WTF have you been smoking?!? Judaic Social Engineering??? What is this "ALL" you're talking about?
Look at Europe. Paris, London, et al. There are sections that are virtually off limits to you if you are non-Muslim. Streets are shut down for “prayer time.” Sharia courts are prevalent. Violent and atrocious spousal and child abuse are rampant. More and more are reports of Female Genital Mutilation (as practiced in Islam). Young citizens are sent to Pakistan or some other similar place to be married…as a pre-pubescent. You charge this to some sort of Judaic Engineering? I am astounded. Why would the Jews want this at all? You just don't make sense. Do you feel alright? Perhaps you need to get your meds adjusted.
When all else fails, blame the Joooooooooooooooz! Ask Horst Wessel for details.
Horst Wessel, what a musical name. Someone should write a song about him. I can't do it. I'm too busy now working on my pavel morozov song.

This, from a 2003 essay, was meant as a joke:
There is no need for the right to hijack the notion of "social justice" as being unfair when actually it should underpin the goal of improving the life of all. Extreme positions help the extremes. But strangely enough they force the generally "passive" middle to take actions.
As long as the Left gets to define terms such as "social justice," I'll support the right's "hijacking" of their idiocy all day long.
Well-spoken indeed!
Another nail in the coffin of the "Rule of Law." I would think a court challenge is in order. Maybe the ACLU will take up the cause. Yeah right. Maybe we should look to Shariah law for an answer. (Sarc Off)
The degredation of law and order is alive and well and on course in Seattle, a
bastion of leftist fever and suicide by enlightened idiocy. Black neighborhoods
just become less safe with unlicensed drivers on the roads, unlicensed as they
have proven their lack of responsability to operate a vehicle. Police understand
the political motivations in leftists government and try to work around it but
the citizens are less safe and public safety is on the slippery slope of disorder.
I will remember to stay away from Seattle………………………………William
Some people in leadership will do all that they can to continue to stir up racial antagonism. It is all part of the lefts plan to destabilize America and destroy the condtitution. All that needs to be done is, for those of us who care and understand this, to keep loving our "neighbor" and support honest balanced justice for all. …and "keep our powder dry"
Marxism cannot survive on social harmony; this strife it promotes is the disease to which it advertises it is the cure.
If you want to eradicate racial injustice, outlaw Marxism. Joseph McCarthy was right!
When given a choice, the Left always chooses the path of violence…..see Franz Fanon for the details.
why is this tolerated. if the laws are being set up like this then there should be NO way a peaceful end can occur. people should have marched into that pos racists office and drug him out of the building! not figuativly…not vote him out. i mean drad that facist butt out by his ankles and run him out of town. this stuff cannot be tolerated at all. if we do then we are cowards and deserve the facist racial dictatorship we get!
It really must be hard finding enough stories every day to fill the columns. Once you've knocked Muslims, Obama, and the radical Left, about all that's left is Amazon reviews and traffic enforcement patterns.
Tragically, Obama and the Radical Left supply a never ending series of outrages to anyone who prizes the Enlightenment values of individual liberty and free (but well regulated) markets…….BTW, why did O in his first day in office send the bust of Churchill back to Britain? Was it because he was white or some other reason? Thanks, I can't find O's explanation for this anywhere online.
Outrage is bad for your blood pressure.
