I'm not saying there is no racism. But I'm also not saying that it's all racism. There's shit they need to do too.Pretty damning I must admit. I wonder if whites are being prosecuted with the same vigor as Blacks are? Are whites more likely to be offered a plea deal for a lesser charge than Blacks? I don't honestly know but I'd bet that is at least a part of the discrepancy in numbers.Yeah, it's pretty well known. These numbers are from the 2014 FBI crime and statistics. It's pretty much the same every year though.I can't say I know much about this subject. That said, I have to ask, is there really a disproportionate number of crimes or is it like what Trump says about virus testing. If Blacks are stopped and searched by police more often than whites, which appears to be the case generally, more Black crime will be discovered. If they stopped whites at the same rate would more white crime be found?How do you make the adjustment for the disproportionate number of crimes committed relative to whites?Is police killing white people OK with you? BTW, police would have to kill 6 times as many whites as blacks to make the number equivalent.The Police kill twice as many White suspects annually as Black suspects.
So why aren't you twice as outraged?
Police are encountering a disproportionate number of contact with blacks so it would seem that might be the better measure. Deaths per police contact. Something like that.
