ORIGINAL: vincentML Butch, we talked about relative crime rates in an earlier thread. What you say is true when you limit your demographics to race, however, not true when you also factor in percentage below poverty level. We have not learned from history. Black communities feel besieged by police. In Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY, nearly 93 out of ever 100 residents were stopped by police in 2009 via a stop and frisk program which has been found to be unconstitutional, but which Trump said just yesterday should be reinstated. "Since 2003, after Mayor Bloomberg took office, NYPD stop and frisks have increased 600 percent. In 2011, a record 684, 330 stops were conducted by New York City police officers. In the first three months of 2012, the NYPD stopped and frisked people 203,500 times. In the same three months last year, the NYPD stopped people 183,326 times. " Blacks and Latinos were disproportionally stopped and searched. Nine out of ten of those stopped in 2011 were not arrested nor given a summons. "More Young Black Men Were Stopped By The NYPD In 2011 Than There Are Young Black Men in New York City" Again in 2011 whites were twice as likely to be found with a weapon than blacks. It goes on and on. We have not learned from history. Police continue to batter minority neighborhoods. NYPD Stop And Frisks: 15 Shocking Facts About A Controversial Program And now today to add insult to injury the Charlotte, NC Chief of Police admits there is no definitive proof on the video to show the victim was pointing a gun but he will not release it, and this with the city ready to burn down around him. What a friggin asshole. Yes...all the black Charlotte police officer who shot the man and the black police chief have is the weapon itself that the man was holding...not a book. He was holding a gun. The police told him repeatedly to drop it. He wouldn't and the police shot him. Now the rioting is justified because he may not have been pointing the gun at any particular officer. If he had been white we would have never heard of it.
