RE: Looting crackdown is 'white supremacy,' claims author
I just had a conversation with one of our local officers that just got back from Harvey. I specifically asked him if he saw looters. According to him, there were lots of them of all races and genders. In fact, he said there were so many of them that they couldn't arrest them all.

If there were any white looters -- which there probably were -- you would hear conservatives say they should be arrested instead of trying to justify their actions because of race.

He's probably wondering why pics of the other races, but most importantly white looters, haven't been blasted across the internet. Of course what that has to do with that Nike store is still beyond me.

White looters usually won't bother stealing sneakers, Pro sports Jerseys, gold chains , cellphones. They steal ATMs

That's not what I am saying. What I am saying is that if you are going to post looters and they are all black, some people are going to assume that only black people loot and some people are going to assume that the police department is racist.
If you don't want people to get the wrong impression, find a better way to present the information you want to present.
I'm pretty sure the Miami PD presented what they wanted to present. Criminal caught and locked up. Evidently they don't view things through the same racial lenses that you do.
I'm not the one who made those comments. I'm simply explaining what I think some people perceive when something like this happens.
You remember this some years ago right?
That's bad reporting. I consider both of those "finding". If you have issue, take it up with the Agence France-Presse and AP. There is a difference in scavenging for food in the days after a storm and massive flood and lifting a pair of Nike's before landfall.
What idiot would eat bread or any footstuffs that have been drug through that contaminated water? If you are going to loot get the stuff in the metal cans that you can wash off.

Actually most White folks know all too well that They show way too much detail in most photographs so it's much easier to get caught unless They go Antifa guerrlia style ! But there are morons that will do stupid stuff out there.
