The FBI publishes crime statistics every year and they are broken down by state. These are used to form public policy and police policies. Are they showing the actual problems with "police" or are they a deceptive and misleading? I contend they are deceptive and misleading.
Statistics are "point of view" oriented and subjective. I am going to attempt to explain why using the "national" level numbers are deceptive and paint a picture of racism where none exists. You must view these stats from within the populace where they are created.
IN example, A state has a portion of the populace that is overrepresented in the state's population who have been incarcerated. From the 'state' view it appears that something is wrong with policing. When we look where the crimes occur (local), we find that the populace make up is mirrored in the crime statistics.
When you look at a state like Illinois, the rate of people of color incarcerated is almost 62% while the whole state has about a 35% population. When you look at the state as whole, you would come to the conclusion they are being targeted. When you actually look at WHERE the crimes are committed you find that they come from areas where the persons of color are 65% of the population. In reality the numbers reflect the region where the crime are committed.
This means they are not being targeted.
You can blame culture, schooling, the breakdown of the family and many other things. You should be blaming the Victim Mentality as this entitled state absolves those from taking personal responsibility for their lives.
This is why CRT is also so destructive. Creating an oppressor and oppressed designation allows for the victim mentality which is so destructive to personal responsibility.
