But that's a completely separate issue than the one that the post is talking about. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 05/12/2014 05:12:44 PM

I'm talking socioeconomics, not 2-D number-crunching.

I'd love to change things so that all groups committed crimes at the same rate. I'd love for no group to commit any crime at all. Neither of those will ever happen.

Can things be changed so that they're better? Undoubtedly.

However, this post isn't about why the crimes are committed. The post is about do cops unfairly target and kill black people based solely on their race. I'd say, from this one statistical match (so there is HUGE room for it to be wrong), that the answer isn't as cut-and-dried as many want to portray for whatever reason.

123 blacks shot to death by cops in 2012; 326 whites. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 12:40:56 AM 935 Views
These numbers make me angry. Urza - 05/12/2014 05:39:26 AM 801 Views
I hate these stats, so misleading. Only 13% of the US population is black! Nebhead - 05/12/2014 02:02:18 PM 988 Views

Heh, yes. Because none of us ever adds layers to these posts. Ever. nossy - 05/12/2014 07:34:04 PM 867 Views

Okay. I can agree that we do go on tangents. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 10:23:21 PM 1084 Views

So what you have implied here then is that The Shrike - 05/12/2014 04:05:10 PM 814 Views
That's a fair assumption to make *shrug* *NM* Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:35:59 PM 536 Views
And now you're the one doing exactly what you implied Cannoli was doing. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 05:17:25 PM 761 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 881 Views
If you want to keep getting deeper in the weeds..... Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2014 07:28:49 PM 729 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 359 Views
the problem with your example is it the execption not the rule random thoughts - 08/12/2014 02:40:14 PM 802 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 320 Views
They question is it it worth the cost? random thoughts - 09/12/2014 04:40:02 PM 626 Views
...I'm doing no such thing. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:27:13 PM 916 Views
L-Dog is right, you are wrong, look at the proportion of crimes committed..... Anonymous2000 - 05/12/2014 06:30:29 PM 823 Views
Erm, no. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:34:38 PM 1036 Views
Unbelievable. I have no words... *NM* ironclad - 04/12/2014 10:15:32 AM 631 Views
he was not choked to death and he was not choked for selling cigerettes random thoughts - 04/12/2014 02:28:44 PM 796 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 428 Views
sorry but it isn't random thoughts - 04/12/2014 05:54:27 PM 742 Views
did you actually watch the video of his death? moondog - 04/12/2014 06:30:26 PM 830 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 682 Views
sorry, i mistook you for a human capable of compassion. my mistake moondog - 04/12/2014 07:47:35 PM 757 Views
Don't worry I don't mistaake you for someone capable of rational thought random thoughts - 04/12/2014 10:56:44 PM 699 Views
The guy is dead due to preexisting medical conditions and for resisting arrest. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 05:11:41 PM 721 Views
watch the video below - the choke hold applied is barred from use by NYPD rules moondog - 04/12/2014 07:43:15 PM 912 Views
The multi-racial grand jury concluded it wasn't a choke hold. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:47:31 PM 348 Views
with secret testimony how do you know for sure? they only chose not to indict moondog - 04/12/2014 07:52:04 PM 703 Views
The grand jury had all the facts, much, much, much more than you could imagine. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 08:00:51 PM 771 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 648 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 392 Views
I find this video much more damning random thoughts - 05/12/2014 05:01:11 AM 925 Views
That's pretty much what a police lieutenant in my hometown said. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 05:42:51 AM 869 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 747 Views
Homicide doesn't equal crime, look up the medical/legal definition of the word. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:49:06 PM 333 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 380 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 742 Views
