BART stand's for Bay, Aera, Rapid, Transit. it's our local rail that links the bay area. B.A.R.T passengers have been experiencing a rise in MOB STYLE robberies. What's going on is large groups of black youths (40 to 60 deep) are waiting on the platform. As soon as a train arrives the "Thugs rush the train and snatch as many phones and wallets as they can get. They jump off the train b4 the doors can close and the train leaves the station with all the victims.
Bart has been NOT reporting these for these reasons. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!
#1 BART police say they are YOUTHS so they can't and will not show the public the video.
#2 BART police say
They don't want to offend black riders for fear that the story will trigger an already afraid of blacks community I will find and post a video of his exact words.
In one case a victim was robbed of her cell phone. A bystander jumped in and the victim got her phone back but not before they guy that jumped in received stitches to the face in the scuffle. Bart didn't report this as a Robbery because BART say's the (VICTIM GOT THE PHONE BACK)
