ORIGINAL: Milesnmiles I thought I give the forum chance to talk about something other than Trump. I was just looking something up on the internet and again noticed the comment that a “higher” percentage of “blacks” are killed or jailed than their percentage in the population in general. And once again I thought since when does that matter? I mean are police really supposed to think; I arrested a “black man” for a crime now I have to arrest 16 “white men” for crimes before I can arrest another “black man”? What if “white men” aren’t living up to their percentages for crime? Are the police to let “black criminals” “slide” until “white men” bring up their crime percentages? If a policeman is being attacked and fears for his life is he really supposed to stop and think; oh, wait have 16 “white men” been shot since the last “black man” because if not I’ll just have to let this “black man” beat me unconscious? To answer your question; Yes, the general rule is that at least 4 million property crime convictions have to be on record the year occurring, before one investment banker or hedge fund manager or equity fund partner or court-appointed trustee shyster lawyer even sees a court hearing for his/her transgressions, more often than not that likely being all there is to it, for costing numerous people half their retirement fund and/or half the estate and/or stealing their house by fraud and/or causing economic upheaval costing 50,000 or more jobs, by himself. A bit of a crimp got put in that formula when the financial crisis came along, costing ~ 4 million jobs (absolute lowest estimate) and ~ $3 trillion (absolute lowest estimate) and there were, lo and behold, actually five or eight bankers who did jail time out of all that. And the poor-fuck burglars couldn't keep up, to hold the formula intact. Burglaries of so many foreclosed houses didn't do much for anybody. But it really really screwed up the ratio numbers in any case, because not enough convictions out of that. So then; "What am I supposed to do? Arrest another 600,000 burglars before I arrest the next banker?" I can see your plight, here.
