Black People Do Not Suffer Disproportionately From Police Brutality

Interesting that when you go to the referenced study



Basically what the study says about the shootings of unarmed blacks is if the police assume that a black is 4 times more likely than a white to be a criminal then the shootings are about the same as when assume the white person is 4 times less likely to be a criminal. That justifies shooting unarmed blacks at a rate 4 times the rate they shoot unarmed whites. Basically, if the cops are racist then the data can be used to justify their racism.

The study can be found here-

The interesting thing is we can see an example that shows the obvious flaw in the study. An armed white 17 year old that just committed 2 murders is allowed to walk by police without any response from them. The authors of the study admit there could be flaws in the data based on how police conduct stops.

What's even more interesting is I'll guarantee that you live in a leafy suburb rather than an inner city hellhole! You arseholes are all the same!!

Cities are unique places. I can go ten blocks one direction and pass Nancy Pelosi, Diane Finestein and Gordon Getty (oil billionaire who has funded Gavin Newsom's political career) homes (among others) and I can go ten blocks in the other direction and see a bunch of homeless, drug dealers, strip clubs, prostitutes etc.

I get people go to the suburbs to leave that behind and like nice quiet and largely single family home neighborhoods. But to really address inequality, if that's ones goal, then allowing lower income people (not necessarily section 8 but more lower middle to middle class) people access to these nicer neighborhoods with good public schools is an excellent way to do so.

Very much the same here....our suburbs have become more diverse...but believe it or not, the complaining still continues....louder and more frequent, if anything...sad, really....
 
Blacks are almost 3 times more likely to get abused or killed by a cop. This cop shot Blake at least 7 times from close range. It was an execution, not an arrest. It is super rare for a white to get treated like that. The kid who shot killed 2 and wounded another could not get himself arrested, even though he walked down the street with a rifle and his hands up. No black could have gotten away with that.

I don't know if Columbus is the same but we actually had flight from the suburbs back to the City which caused poor people in SF and Oakland to move to the 'burbs. So we have more diverse suburbs now on the whole but the well to do suburbs are still largely white and Asian.
