    As a white man I'm wondering what the number is that I have to call to get the police to shoot some black people for me. I seem to have misplaced my card.

    9-1-1 in most locations.

      Small potatoes. If you really want to kill black people, you want the number of some inner city gangs. They shoot a lot more than the police. Now if you're not particular about methods then you can go even further. Ring up some dudes in Africa and see if you can get another civil war going on, or spread some misinformation about HIV.

      It's murder by numbers, 1-2-3...

    The number is 555, It's easy to remember by the letter in the middle.
