It doesn't matter why. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 05/12/2014 03:19:54 PM

Committing the crimes gets you in contact with the police which seems to correlate to your roughly equal chances of being killed, regardless of race.

So, this doesn't look at stopping and frisking or racially profiling drivers and letting them go. It looks at arrests for actual crimes. So, again, the reason you're committing a crime doesn't matter.

123 blacks shot to death by cops in 2012; 326 whites. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 12:40:56 AM 969 Views
These numbers make me angry. Urza - 05/12/2014 05:39:26 AM 827 Views
I hate these stats, so misleading. Only 13% of the US population is black! Nebhead - 05/12/2014 02:02:18 PM 1015 Views

Dangerous territories when you talk socioeconomics The Shrike - 05/12/2014 04:08:57 PM 792 Views
Danger is my middle name. *NM* nossy - 05/12/2014 04:47:23 PM 436 Views
But that's a completely separate issue than the one that the post is talking about. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 05:12:44 PM 970 Views
Heh, yes. Because none of us ever adds layers to these posts. Ever. nossy - 05/12/2014 07:34:04 PM 896 Views
That is SUCH A BAD SENTENCE. nossy - 05/12/2014 08:07:18 PM 862 Views

Okay. I can agree that we do go on tangents. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 10:23:21 PM 1119 Views

So what you have implied here then is that The Shrike - 05/12/2014 04:05:10 PM 855 Views
That's a fair assumption to make *shrug* *NM* Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:35:59 PM 555 Views
And now you're the one doing exactly what you implied Cannoli was doing. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 05:17:25 PM 800 Views
Implicit in your posts seems to be the assumption that crime rates and arrest rates are equal Ghavrel - 06/12/2014 09:26:13 AM 923 Views
If you want to keep getting deeper in the weeds..... Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2014 07:28:49 PM 755 Views
I'm not disputing that; I'm saying there's an issue with the overall rates of arrest. *NM* Ghavrel - 06/12/2014 08:29:49 PM 376 Views
the problem with your example is it the execption not the rule random thoughts - 08/12/2014 02:40:14 PM 840 Views
I don't have any proof of that either way. I agree that broken window policing plays a role. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/12/2014 12:25:14 AM 336 Views
They question is it it worth the cost? random thoughts - 09/12/2014 04:40:02 PM 658 Views
...I'm doing no such thing. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:27:13 PM 957 Views
L-Dog is right, you are wrong, look at the proportion of crimes committed..... Anonymous2000 - 05/12/2014 06:30:29 PM 850 Views
Erm, no. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:34:38 PM 1060 Views
Unbelievable. I have no words... *NM* ironclad - 04/12/2014 10:15:32 AM 651 Views
he was not choked to death and he was not choked for selling cigerettes random thoughts - 04/12/2014 02:28:44 PM 823 Views
I mean, "Killed him without intent" is pretty much the definition of manslaughter, isn't it? *NM* beetnemesis - 04/12/2014 04:44:18 PM 448 Views
sorry but it isn't random thoughts - 04/12/2014 05:54:27 PM 766 Views
did you actually watch the video of his death? moondog - 04/12/2014 06:30:26 PM 869 Views
OK watched it all the way. Which one of my conclusions were suppossed to change? random thoughts - 04/12/2014 07:39:07 PM 721 Views
sorry, i mistook you for a human capable of compassion. my mistake moondog - 04/12/2014 07:47:35 PM 791 Views
Don't worry I don't mistaake you for someone capable of rational thought random thoughts - 04/12/2014 10:56:44 PM 726 Views
The guy is dead due to preexisting medical conditions and for resisting arrest. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 05:11:41 PM 750 Views
watch the video below - the choke hold applied is barred from use by NYPD rules moondog - 04/12/2014 07:43:15 PM 940 Views
The multi-racial grand jury concluded it wasn't a choke hold. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:47:31 PM 364 Views
with secret testimony how do you know for sure? they only chose not to indict moondog - 04/12/2014 07:52:04 PM 726 Views
The grand jury had all the facts, much, much, much more than you could imagine. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 08:00:51 PM 803 Views
the grand jury had all the facts the DA felt they needed to not indict and much much more moondog - 04/12/2014 08:10:26 PM 684 Views
according to you all they needed was the video and if they didn't see that there is a problem *NM* random thoughts - 04/12/2014 10:58:34 PM 411 Views
I find this video much more damning random thoughts - 05/12/2014 05:01:11 AM 962 Views
That's pretty much what a police lieutenant in my hometown said. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 05:42:51 AM 896 Views
where did you get the heart attack from? wikipedia shows it as a homicide, as it should moondog - 04/12/2014 06:32:44 PM 778 Views
Homicide doesn't equal crime, look up the medical/legal definition of the word. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:49:06 PM 351 Views
if only it were possible to get to the facts in a court case to prove one way or the other *NM* moondog - 04/12/2014 07:53:18 PM 403 Views
Even wiki says he died of a heart attack on his way to the hospital random thoughts - 04/12/2014 08:06:00 PM 778 Views
