They were Black

Unfortunately they weren't militant or toasty.. A DC police commander was reassigned this week after he gave a speech to Georgetown residents about a recent murder. The DC police have declared a crime emergency in the district because there have been 13 homicides this year and robberies are up.. here's what dude said to the residents that made his boss react:

"I would think that at 2 o'clock in the morning on the streets of Georgetown, a group of three people, one of whom is 15 years old, one of whom is a bald chunky fat guy, are going to stand out," said Solberg, who is white. "They were black. This is not a racial thing to say that black people are unusual in Georgetown. This is a fact of life."

So we don't want to take this out of context, the Washington Post says that when he made these remarks that he was telling the residents of the area to report suspicious looking people.. then described them as fat, 15 years old and black.. hmmm

Want to know what I think? He's right black folks don't hang in Georgetown in large numbers. I go there and don't appreciate being labeled as the type who would slice someone's throat for virtually no reason, like these three people have been accused of doing. Maybe I'll shop in Pentagon City until this is over.. besides people are dying in Georgetown.
