In reply to the discussion: Hillary DID call black kids Super Predators, here is a Wash Po article that covers it all [View all]azurnoir
(45,850 posts)37. I lived in one such minority community during that period-North Minneapolis
the problem was everyone was considered guilty no innocent vs guilty no good guy bad guy , sometimes the police would simply cordon off a block or 2 of a residential street, not projects mind you it was a mixture of owner occupied houses and rental properties and if you were walking down the street you were face down and usually cuffed - didn't matter whether you 8 or 80
eta suspected crack houses were simply attacked using front end loaders or bulldozers that was the MPD version of a no knock raid, one such house was raided in such a manner a few doors down from me-it shuck our whole and knocked me down I thought the furnace had exploded

Saying “We have to bring them to heel.” is worse than calling them Super Predators, right?

She didn't use the word "black". She didn't say "African American". She used the word "gangs".
