City Council votes to make it a crime for calling police on black people for “participating in their lives.” You can’t make this shite up.

quote:

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan – Grand Rapids could soon have an ordinance that would make it a criminal misdemeanor to racially profile people of color for “participating in their lives.” The “bias crime reporting prohibition” is one of a handful of adjustments that would be made to the city code as part of the proposed human rights ordinance. Other components include expanded protected class definitions, identifying four primary potential areas of discrimination, and an outline of the referral and compliance process.

Diversity and Inclusion Manager Patti Caudill said the ordinance is a new concept in Michigan. It isn’t meant to discourage 911 calls, she said. Rather, it’s meant to make people “check their biases” before calling the police.

“Call the police, but if you’re calling because your neighbors are having a barbecue and you’re calling because of some implicit bias because they’re people of color, we don’t want to see that,” she said.

The proposed ordinance puts a prohibition on any person denying another individual the enjoyment of civil rights, or for any person to discriminate against an individual in the exercise of civil rights because of actual or perceived color, race, religion or creed, sex, gender, identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genotype, age, marital status, medical condition, disability, height, weight, or source of lawful income.


LoL at the Diversity and Inclusion Manager for dropping the BBQ reference right off the bat. Stereotype much lady?

:facepalm:

So, we have to wait until we get robbed, assaulted or murdered to call the cops because black people are offended that their brethren are low class and do this shite?


Do all black people do this stuff? No. But if you have a guy in Crip or Blood colors sneaking around your property, you shouldn’t have to go through a “check your privilege” flowchart to call the goddamn cops.

Not necessary. There are already laws on the books criminalizing frivolous invocation of emergency services. Enforce the laws you have before going back to the well for more nanny state bullshite.

I think this is meant to be more along the lines of “my black neighbors are having a bbq and are too loud and rowdy for my whiteness” 911 calls.

Still pretty stupid. Either we have laws that we enforce equally (like a noise ordinance) or don’t have them at all.

Hmm. Not that I go around calling the police on black people for no reason but.. I'd say it's probably time to move out of Grand Rapids.

How does one become a Diversity and Inclusion Manager?

Good thing we don’t have this in Louisiana

Our neighborhood watch is like the nights watch in game of thrones but instead of keeping white walkers out we keep out the opposite

Implicit bias is not quantifiable. The same people who came up with that are the same people who say its invalid and cannot be measured in any way.

Grand Rapids has been gentrifying for the past couple of years now. It's kind of become a smaller Austin of the Midwest. This is probably an attempt to slow down gentrification but ironically the most fervent supporters of this law will likely be the out-of-town gentrifiers they want out.

You’d think but most black people would rather be down here than in Southie (South Boston).
