Colin Flaherty reviews and gives commentary on news with headlines "BART OKs safety measures after recent violence, but not everyone’s happy" and "Jenice Armstrong: Stop trying to make Temple attacks about race" and "When a white woman from Old City wears a Black Lives Matter T-shirt in Cherry Hill" and "2 charged in killing of California man in North City" and "Coroner: Man shot dead, woman injured when armed intruders reportedly broke into an Upstate home" and "Suspects Pistol-Whip Worker During South LA Taco Truck Holdup" [links and excerpts below] https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/BART-Oks-safety-measures-after-recent-violence-13145188.php Rachel Swan Aug. 9, 2018 Updated: Aug. 9, 2018 5:53 p.m. Stung by criticism after a string of violent crimes, BART’s Board of Directors voted Thursday to update the transit system’s surveillance cameras and install emergency call boxes. The two measures, approved in a 6-3 vote, were part of a $28 million public safety package announced this week by General Manager Grace Crunican. It also included proposals to build barriers to deter fare evasion and install a large screen at Civic Center Station to remind riders that they are under surveillance. Her most controversial idea was a ban on panhandling, which prompted vigorous opposition from civil rights activists. Some said it would unfairly target the mostly African American youth who break-dance on BART for money. “The answer is not a rushed surveillance proposal that poses a unique threat to Latinos and African Americans,” said Mike Chase of the American Civil Liberties Union, arguing that technology could enable racial profiling. Although most speakers at the meeting objected to BART’s reform effort, some applauded the extra police patrols. One woman dangled a sign that said, “More Police = Rider Safety.” Board Director Rebecca Saltzman raised questions about the $28 million cost of the reforms, which include $25 million in recommended capital improvements, and $3 million annually for labor and other costs. She noted that Crunican’s list of proposals lacked a financing plan. But Keller argued that the cost of inaction “is far greater.” http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/jenice_armstrong/20161026_Armstrong__Stop_trying_to_make_Temple_attacks_about_race.html Jenice Armstrong Updated: OCT 26, 2016 10:49 PM EDT THE TEMPLE attacks were about troublemaking teens - not race. http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/jenice_armstrong/black-lives-matter-marybeth-gasman-penn-racism-tshirt-jenice-armstrong-20180809.html Jenice Armstrong Updated: AUG 9, 2018 4:14 PM EDT As she dressed for her mother-daughter day of brunch, shopping, and a movie, weighing heavily on her mind was President Trump’s racist tweet questioning the intelligence of both NBA superstar LeBron James and CNN’s Don Lemon. It was also former President Barack Obama’s 57th birthday, so she decided to put on her Black Lives Matter shirt and promptly forgot about it. Until she entered a Target store across Route 38 from Cherry Hill Mall and noticed a white female shopper shooting her a dirty look. Gasman continued shopping. As she waited for her daughter to exit a dressing room, an older black woman approached and said, “I love your T-shirt.” The stranger walked away, only to return and say, “I want you to know that your life matters to me as well.” She also took Gasman’s photo. ticket seller flashed her a smile and said, “Nice shirt.” But an older white male rolled his eyes and shot her a dirty look. A black woman in a parking lot with two young boys in tow smiled. http://www.foxcarolina.com/story/38763857/man-dies-after-being-shot-multiple-times-in-north-st-louis By Stephanie Baumer Posted: Jul 30, 2018 6:48 AM CDT Updated: Aug 02, 2018 4:22 PM CDT They are accused of killing Nathan Owen, 31, of Hayward, California.
