Der jährliche PKS-Tag naht.
Zur Erinnerung: Die Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik (PKS) sammelt, gegen wen ermittelt wird. Durch die Polizei.
D.h. falls die Polizei Schwarze und Schwarzhaarige öfter kontrolliert, dann tauchen die da auch öfter auf.
Dazu kommt der beliebte Vorwurf des 'Widerstands' bei vielen Demo-Festnahmen = Ermittlung in der PKS. Das erklärt einen guten Teil der hohen Zahlen von Straftaten durch 'Linksextremist*innen'.

Security experts say airports and airplanes remain some of the safest public spaces in the United States.
But a rise in passengers bypassing security increases the c…

“In 1977, Judy-Lynn and Lester launched Del Rey at Ballantine. The fantasy list was led by Terry Brooks’ The Sword of Shannara, Piers Anthony’s A Spell for Chameleon, and Stephen Donaldson’s Lord Foul’s Bane. All sold massively, with Brooks’ book reaching No. 2 on Publishers Weekly’s trade paperback bestseller list. (The science fiction line also contributed to Del Rey’s instant success, thanks in large part to Judy-Lynn’s snapping up novelization rights for Star Wars, which sold nearly 4 million copies that year alone.)“
