If you want to keep getting deeper in the weeds..... Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 06/12/2014 07:28:49 PM

You should focus on arrests for violent crimes (where confrontations with the police are more likely). Whereas blacks are more likely to commit crime overall than other demographics, they are a lot more likely to commit violent crimes.

But overall, L-Dog is right and the proportions of cops killing blacks is not out of whack with the arrest rates.

123 blacks shot to death by cops in 2012; 326 whites. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 12:40:56 AM 880 Views
These numbers make me angry. Urza - 05/12/2014 05:39:26 AM 748 Views

Danger is my middle name. *NM* nossy - 05/12/2014 04:47:23 PM 394 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 871 Views
Heh, yes. Because none of us ever adds layers to these posts. Ever. nossy - 05/12/2014 07:34:04 PM 787 Views

So what you have implied here then is that The Shrike - 05/12/2014 04:05:10 PM 757 Views
That's a fair assumption to make *shrug* *NM* Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:35:59 PM 510 Views
And now you're the one doing exactly what you implied Cannoli was doing. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 05:17:25 PM 693 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 833 Views
If you want to keep getting deeper in the weeds..... Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2014 07:28:49 PM 671 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 340 Views
the problem with your example is it the execption not the rule random thoughts - 08/12/2014 02:40:14 PM 725 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 296 Views
They question is it it worth the cost? random thoughts - 09/12/2014 04:40:02 PM 576 Views
...I'm doing no such thing. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:27:13 PM 856 Views
L-Dog is right, you are wrong, look at the proportion of crimes committed..... Anonymous2000 - 05/12/2014 06:30:29 PM 765 Views

he was not choked to death and he was not choked for selling cigerettes random thoughts - 04/12/2014 02:28:44 PM 728 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 403 Views
sorry but it isn't random thoughts - 04/12/2014 05:54:27 PM 689 Views

The guy is dead due to preexisting medical conditions and for resisting arrest. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 05:11:41 PM 662 Views
watch the video below - the choke hold applied is barred from use by NYPD rules moondog - 04/12/2014 07:43:15 PM 837 Views
The multi-racial grand jury concluded it wasn't a choke hold. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:47:31 PM 328 Views
with secret testimony how do you know for sure? they only chose not to indict moondog - 04/12/2014 07:52:04 PM 653 Views
The grand jury had all the facts, much, much, much more than you could imagine. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 08:00:51 PM 721 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 601 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 371 Views
I find this video much more damning random thoughts - 05/12/2014 05:01:11 AM 864 Views
That's pretty much what a police lieutenant in my hometown said. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 05:42:51 AM 811 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 679 Views
Homicide doesn't equal crime, look up the medical/legal definition of the word. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:49:06 PM 316 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 355 Views
