"They Watching Ya'll": Anti-Police Billboard Goes Up in New Orleans To Remind Black Criminals Police in City Have Installed Crime Cameras to Stop Black Crime

Previously on SBPDL: In 2016, 95% of Homicides and 98% of Nonfatal Shootings in 60% Black New Orleans were committed by Blacks

Never forget: black criminals are protected by black leaders and black advocacy in cities across the country. Case in point, New Orleans. [Billboard targets new crime cameras: The group says they launched the billboard in order to bring awareness to the crime cameras with the flashing blue and red light., WTSP.com, July 13, 2018]:

Drive down I-10 towards Metairie and look towards the sky. A couple of feet in the air near Poydras and North Galvez you will notice a large eye staring down at you, seeing everything and sending you the message: "They're Watching Ya'll."  

A bold statement targeting the recently installed crime cameras throughout New Orleans. 

Protecting black criminals is the number one directive of black leaders and black advocacy/civil rights groups

"They're tracking us, so we wanted people to know that," organizer Brunisha Jones with Peace by Piece said.  

The billboard comes from the group "Peace by Piece" on the website stopwatchingnola.org. The group says they launched the billboard in order to bring awareness to these cameras with the flashing blue and red light.  

Earlier this year, the Landrieu administration installed the cameras, which are linked to the real-time monitoring center. The former Mayor said it's part of a city-wide plan to increase safety.  

However, those who organized this billboard feel the cameras are a violation of your privacy. They also believe it target brown and Black communities. 

"I feel like it makes the Black community, the Black and brown community, the youth especially, makes us already feel like we're targeted," Jones said.  

On the website, crime camera spotters can also post the camera's location.  

"The city told us the camera's location was not given (to the) public. It wasn't public information. So, we wanted to launch this so that it can be public," Jones said.  

"What's the invasion? What's the privacy. There's no privacy outside right?" Mike Khalil said.  

Mike Khalil is the manager of Wagner's Meat Market in the Bywater. He wants the cameras to stay where they are.  

He says it keeps his store safe. In the last six years, he's owned the store, he had about four robberies. Now things are a lot calmer.  

"We had to hire two or three workers. Now, we got one or two. 'Cause it's safe," Khalil said.  

"Nothing's private when you're in public," Bywater resident Dan Weakley said.Weakley and his friend Tommie feel the cameras improve the area.  

"I catch the bus 5:00 in the morning going into work. The bus stop right there. I ain't got a be scared no more. I know big brother in the sky." 

Last month, NOPD told Eyewitness News the deployment and location of the cameras was a tactical decision, and they don't discuss specific locations that may or may not be under consideration.  

The city also says they're committed to the crime camera program.

Protecting black criminals: the number one priority of black leaders and black advocacy groups nationwide.

And remember kids, guns don't kill people, dangerous minorities do: In 7% Black Madison, Wisconsin, Blacks are Responsible for Nearly 100% of Gun Violence

Previously on SBPDL: In 8% Black Madison, WI, Police Chief Declares War on City's “most egregious offenders and gang members" but plan called racist b/c targeted criminals are all black

It's simple: if Madison, Wisconsin was zero percent black (instead of seven percent black), there would be almost no gun violence. [Deadly disparities: African-Americans increasingly targeted as gun homicides spike, Madison.com, June 27, 2018]:

David Edwards had no beef with the guy who killed him. 

In 7 percent black Madison, Wisconsin, liberal white journalists bemoan the fact only black people are being targeted for gun violence by other blacks... the article inadvertently admits Madison, and the entire state of Wisconsin, has a gun violence problem because of the small percentage of blacks in the state

On March 1, 2017, Jordan Sharlow allegedly fired several bullets into the 31-year-old father of three at an east Madison gas station, reportedly confusing him with Riccardo Simms, the man he intended to kill. 

Simms was gunned down five months later. 

The murders of Edwards and Simms contributed to a grim milestone for Madison: 12 homicides in a single year, counting one in the town of Madison, a soon-to-be-annexed pocket on the city’s south side. That’s the most on record. Nine of those homicides were by gunfire, again a record, surpassing the six gun homicides in 2016. 

It would be easy to write off Edwards’ death to random violence, to say it could have happened to anyone. But there was a big factor that increased Edward’s chances of falling victim to gunfire: He was a black man. 

Of the 15 people killed by gunfire in a two-year spike starting in 2016, nine were black men. That’s 60 percent of the gun deaths in a city where blacks comprise just 7 percent of the population. 

In those two years, not a single white man in Madison was killed by gunfire. 

According to Ald. Sheri Carter, whose southside district has seen two murders in the past nine months, the gunplay in the city is causing “emotional stress” to residents where it occurs. 

“You could probably call it PTSD,” she said. “And this is another thing that we’re going to have to start addressing very shortly. The PTSD effect on these neighborhoods and residents.” 

The demographics of murder in Madison mirror state and national trends. 

According to FBI statistics, since 2015 gun homicides have increased dramatically, following more than a decade of no real change. In 2016 the number of people shot dead by others hit 11,004, a 32 percent increase over 2014. 

And black men are bearing the brunt. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control’s fatal injury database, there were 256 murders in Wisconsin in 2016. Of those, 188 of the victims were shot, a 55 percent increase from 2014. In a state where blacks comprise only 6 percent of the population, 69 percent of the shooting victims in 2016 were African-American; 88 percent of those were men. 

(This data does not include suicides, which are overwhelmingly committed by white men.) 

A black man in Wisconsin that year was 55 times more likely to become a gun homicide victim than a white man. The African-American murder rate in 2015 earned the state a No. 2 ranking — behind Missouri — from the Violence Policy Center, a Washington D.C.-based anti-gun violence group. 

“I don’t know why they’re exposed to that,” said Carter, who is African-American. 

“I do know that it’s obvious that they are. A disproportionate amount of young African-American men are engaging in violence as a way to resolve a disagreement. And that’s concerning.”

There's an equation for this violence:

Low Impulse Control + Poor Future Time-Orientation + Low IQ(x)political control by those bemoaning white privilege= Madison, Wisconsin 2018

It's so (tragically) simple: if Madison, Wisconsin was zero percent black - instead of seven percent black - there would be almost no gun violence or homicides for police to investigate. 

Count the Number of Stereotypes of the Black Community this Article in the Sun Herald (Bay St. Louis, MS) Confirms...

Count the number of stereotypes this article confirms about life in a nearly all-black community in Mississippi. 

Go. [There's a plan to take back the 'heart' of Backatown from killers and drug dealers, SunHerald.com, July 8, 2018]:

BAY ST. LOUIS - A visitor could drive right through Backatown and never know they were in a community known as A Place Apart.

Taking a stand against nature...

There is no sign signifying the neighborhood in the city's Third Ward. There aren't many attractions — a barbecue joint, a Boys & Girls Club, some churches, a seafood store. There are some comfortable, well-kept homes, some that could use a little TLC and some lots where the weeds have gained the upper hand. 

But there isn't, in the eyes of the leader of the local NAACP chapter, much black heritage on display in a place that until not that long ago was almost exclusively African-American. 

"Downtown is not inhabited by African Americans," said Gregory Barabino. 

"There's not African-American culture here because we don't have any businesses left." 

And that brings him to MLK Park in the city's Third Ward, the heart of the black community. Starting Sunday, he plans to hold regular events every Sunday in July, with the help of 30 to 40 like-minded men. He'll bring the music and he's encouraging others to come out and cook, or just hang out. And, he'll have other organizations there to show the younger people the opportunities and programs available to them. 

"We need to show them there's more than basketball," he said. 

So far, he says he has Youth Workforce, NASA, Pearl River Community College, 1190 AM/104.3 FM Gospel broadcasting, the WIN Job Center, Black Magic Fitness and the Young World mentor program planing to be there. For fun, there will be a bounce house, water slide and inflatable obstacle course. And the park has a lot of permanent playground equipment. 

"The problem is MLK serves a dual purpose," he said. "It's a hangout spot because there is no hangout space in the African American community. The projects used to be across the street so it was very utilized. 

"Recently, because the people who aren't drug dealers have disengaged and they just left the park out there for the people who peddle drugs. And, why not, when there are no consequences." 

He said city officials have helped in the past, building restrooms for the park, for example, but he said it's up to the community to help police the park and keep it presentable.

But is there more than basketball?

Is there?

It should be known the initial title the article in the Sun Herald was "Bay St. Louis' Black Community Takes Stand Against Violent Crime."

In 54% White/29% Black Raleigh, North Carolina, Between 2015 and 2017, 94% of Gun Violence Was Committed by Blacks

The city of Raleigh, North Carolina is 54 percent white/29% black. 

The city of Raleigh recently put out the RALEIGH FIREARM

VIOLENCE REDUCTION
STRATEGY: A focused approach to reduce firearm violence through education andtraining, intelligence‐led policing, and community partnerships.

Raleigh, North Carolina only has a gun violence problem because of black people (the majority, if not 100 percent, of unknown gun violence suspects are black)

It let slip some interesting data points, namely: 

Of the known race of firearm suspects between 2015 and 2017, 94 percent where black.

Not once in the report from the Raleigh Police Department is this racial data of offenders brought up, save in the chart, which helps dramatically illustrate why the city has a problem with gun violence.

Because of blacks.

Recycle this same scenario for every city in America.

Blacks are the primary reason America has an epidemic of gun violence. Without blacks, America would only have an epidemic of white people collecting firearms (which they do courtesy of blacks, who whites implicitly understand are responsible for almost all the gun violence in America).
