Police go to poor black neighborhood(60% of people live below poverty level) and leave"bait truck" full of Nike tennis

Good thing they didn't put nike running shoes in the truck. Anybody would have tossed those back in.

That's entrapment.

This thread makes it sound like they were sitting in the back of a pickup truck waiting for anyone to just grab a pair as the walked by. Im pretty sure this required the theives to break in to a cargo truck, which would require mutiple people with some planning

I see no issue here

No, you are wrong. They left the door open.

"Terpay also denied allegations from community activists that police left the bait truck open. Video surveillance shows a man using box cutters to break open the safety seal on the unmarked trailer, she said, and additional footage shows two men finding the boxes of shoes, which were not visible from the street."

Get the top FBI suits on the case.

Classic Rahm Emmanuel, the racist, treasonous Israeli Firster mayor

People here are absolute imbeciles. Why would you freaking argue about something when you haven't even read the article? What kind of $hit show is this place? Any why is everything racist this and racist that?

not going to watch that whole video. can someone explain how anyone would know that there are nikes in that truck? is there a big nike logo on the side of the trailer or something?

Who cares if they are Nikes in the truck. It could have been electronics, clothes or anything else. Why go to a community where the majority of people are barely surviving and park a bait truck with anything of value? Are they doing this same thing at Tralier Parks?

I have never been arrested for theft.

Coincidentally, I have never tried to break into a car and steal its contents.

Then explain why this shittt isn't done in WHITE neighborhoods??????????

Because no one would steal anything and it would be a waste of police time.

It's 2018 & police are still using bait vehicles? This is allowed? I never heard of bait trucks/cars until I lived in Milwaukee & I couldn't believe they were actually a thing used in the hood at that time. An undercover officer would pull up on the street in a BMW & leave a window down with the keys in the ignition when he walked away. There'd be CDs & clothes in the back. Bored teenagers on a hot summer night would run up & grab stuff. Then officers would stand by & wait. Of course some poor fella would try to get in the drivers seat & start the car.

Basically the police is treating people like cockroaches.

Yes, we know why. They have done this in poor White areas. And the level of theft is astronomically lower.

Any examples to back this assertion?

Is this really the best use of CPD resources? How many shootings and murders were there in the city last weekend? It was 66, right? And how many of those have been solved? Zero. It’s official; throw the entire CPD in the trash.

Not really, they were tennis shoes, not basketball shoes.

So the police aren’t supposed to find and arrest African American criminals in their own neighborhoods... because, you know, this was undoubtedly the first time these thieves have ever stolen anything, and they don’t steal stuff from innocent African Americans as well in these neighborhoods all the time. Their home neighborhoods should be some kind of sanctuary where they can do whatever they want free of police interference. Breaking into trailers with bolt cutters is just innocent exploration, and the new rule of law is “finders / keepers” so just climb into the trailer and grab whatever you want. Kind of like the looting that takes place whenever there is a riot. Just grab a big screen and go.

WTF is wrong with you race baiting idiots?

"As cargo theft across the country becomes a growing problem, law enforcement agencies have used bait to catch thieves. "

Seems like a smart way to catch thieves. Place the bait where the crimes are happening. It is not racist, it is tackling crime where it is occurring.

There are bait trucks in white neighborhoods everyday. Its called everyday life and business. Difference is white culture rejects those that steal and look down upon them. Black culture does not.
