Cambridge, (MA) - July 33, 2009 â In a surprise public announcement before a startled Boston press corps this afternoon, Cambridge, Massachusetts police chief I. M. Faux declared that his officers have been ordered to no longer check the ID of any possible burglar caught in a home owned by African-Americans.
According to Chief Faux, the new directive instructs officers that if they are called to a home owned by a black physician, for example, they are not to request any positive address verification-identification, even of the person inside the home at 3:00 A.M. is wearing a shirt that says âMassachusetts Department of Correctionsâ and they are stacking up the jewelry, silverware and television sets near the back door. âThe asking for ID is demeaning,â said the Chief.
The new plan extends beyond traditional Black neighborhoods. âI donât care if the names on the mailbox are Sven and Olga Shnorgenson, there is a blue and gold flag flying out front, old ice skates sitting on the porch, the smell of Swedish meatballs and lutefisk permeating the houseâ¦. and the man who answers the door has dreadlocks, a Bob Marley shirt, four gold watches, three gold teeth and calls everyone âMonââ¦. there had better not be any ID check!â
He said the policy will also apply to asking for driverâs licenses for African Americans caught for speeding. The chief said, âAfter all, just how bad is running 115 in a School Zone, compared to a loss of dignity. We can trust these drivers to give us their real names and addresses,â said the Chief.
Chief Faux said his department is also working with local merchants on a plan to ensure African Americans are not asked to show a credit card after a meal in a fine restaurant or when leaving the store after a clothing âpurchase.â He agreed that there had been some opposition to his âDonât Go Shoplifting Without Itâ plan, but is confident that a threatened Civil Rights suit by the U.S. Department of Justice will âwhip the storeowners into line.â
No everyone was enthralled by the Chiefâs new plan. The local chapter of ACORN stated, for the record, that in contrast to some rumors, neither ACORN nor the NAACP would be paying for any property lost to the newly empowered Black burglars.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
