the problem with your example is it the execption not the rule random thoughts Send a noteboard - 08/12/2014 02:40:14 PM

And it has more to do with urban vs rural or suburban than it does with anything else. Suburban slackers sitting around in the mom's basement are simply less likely to get caught with pot than urban smoking in the park or walking around on the street carrying it and committing other crimes.

How different communities are policed to have an affect as well. Clean and well kept communities to have "broken window" policing so police are more likely to look for things like pot.

For the record I do believe black males are policed more heavily than white males but I think the thug culture plays a big of role in that as racism does and as long as it is embraced or at least tolerated but large numbers in the black community nothing will change.

But that's a completely separate issue than the one that the post is talking about. - 05/12/2014 05:12:44 PM 724 Views
Heh, yes. Because none of us ever adds layers to these posts. Ever. - 05/12/2014 07:34:04 PM 614 Views

So what you have implied here then is that - 05/12/2014 04:05:10 PM 607 Views
That's a fair assumption to make *shrug* *NM* - 07/12/2014 05:35:59 PM 348 Views
And now you're the one doing exactly what you implied Cannoli was doing. - 05/12/2014 05:17:25 PM 534 Views
Implicit in your posts seems to be the assumption that crime rates and arrest rates are equal - 06/12/2014 09:26:13 AM 683 Views

I don't have any proof of that either way. I agree that broken window policing plays a role. *NM* - 09/12/2014 12:25:14 AM 219 Views
They question is it it worth the cost? - 09/12/2014 04:40:02 PM 420 Views

he was not choked to death and he was not choked for selling cigerettes - 04/12/2014 02:28:44 PM 558 Views
I mean, "Killed him without intent" is pretty much the definition of manslaughter, isn't it? *NM* - 04/12/2014 04:44:18 PM 332 Views
sorry but it isn't - 04/12/2014 05:54:27 PM 535 Views

OK watched it all the way. Which one of my conclusions were suppossed to change? - 04/12/2014 07:39:07 PM 470 Views
