[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] [CCL] Don't leave valuables in your car!

[Milo Toor]

Jacob, respectfully, you (and I) are white. I don't want to start a heated
discussion of race politics, but it's critically important to recognize the
context of your interactions with police. I feel like the last year has
done a superb job demonstrating nationally why the police are polarizing
and systematically biased. While no one wants to have their car broken
into, inviting extra police into the neighborhood is bound to have an
effect on the very diverse community at large, an effect that I'm sure many
would find alienating.

Take a look at the Omni's wiki <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Welcome>, and
in particular the "What core values do groups share?" section. To me,
values like "Standing in solidarity with all oppressed people" and
"Striving for social, economic & environmental justice", shout NO POLICE.

As for solutions, I think this thread's title says it all: Don't leave
valuable things in your car, especially not visibly. Thieves are a pain in
the ass, but they're not fools and will probably not risk breaking into
your car if there is no obvious boon.

Or you can always BART and/or bike :)
