The proof, they said, was in the numbers: A special team of officers assigned last fall to patrol the opulent shopping corridor arrested dozens of people for minor infractions such as jaywalking or riding scooters on a sidewalk and all but one of them were Black, they alleged. They labeled it brazen, illegal racial profiling.

A closer examination of the Beverly Hills Police Department’s Rodeo Drive Team offers a more complicated picture of the operation, shedding light on how it started and raising new questions about why the overwhelming majority of the people arrested were Black.

  1. I wouldn’t believe ANYTHING that came out of the L.A. Times!

  2. This charge has been floating around since the late 1960’s.

    I have been with blacks driving in the area (oh, I am of the Caucasian persuasion) to test this out. Not once were we pulled over or otherwise harassed by police.

    It is the Waters and BLM types that are beating a drum for emotional response to justify criminal behavior and rioting…… They cannot make it stick that Us White Folk are just too dumb to understand the black condition.

    I find it interesting that every “black” friend I have who speaks the language well, is not badge wearing (intentional ethnic cloths), or making racially charge comments on a regular basis does not have a problem.

    The once proud LA Times is now a panderer of junk.

  3. Elon Musk publicly stated today that there may be a chance that Joe Biden was controlled by the unions. I hate it when the smart guys allude to the obvious.
