Those studies are BS. Cops are afraid to pull black people over today thanks to the Ferguson effect
Sorry, Dude, there is "Ferguson Effect"
There Is No Ferguson Effect
Myth of the Ferguson Effect Is Hard to Kill
There are year-to-year variations, and differences between cities, but no nationwide crime epidemic and most importantly no easy explanation for the violence, he added. And while some cities are undoubtedly facing unacceptable levels of violence, the nationwide trend in violent crime continues to point downward, as it has for the last 25 years.
Our cops used to do traffic stops all the time. No more. It might be something menial like a brake light, license plate light. But often they pulled people over for stupid shit, and they found the driver had no license, or a passenger had a warrant out for their arrest. Trouble makers knew if you came to our suburb, you better behave yourself if you didn't want to get stopped.
Troublemakers = Darkies.
You do see that when you are pulling over black folks for menial things like a brake light or license plate light, hoping to find something more serious, that's racial profiling, right? Or do you just think that's okay?
No need to answer.
Menial things!? Last time I checked having functioning brake lights and/or a license plate light is required by law. Evidently if the driver is black you feel they should get a pass.
