Cops tend to frequent areas that need their attention...Common sense if you ask me!

Perhaps you are correct. But isn't it also possible that they simply assumed that those areas would have more crime simply because their was a large minority population?

Why does it always come down to race? Isn't also possible that the crime rate statistics and number of calls for the area call for more frequent more policing? Police tend to patrol areas with higher crime rates regardless of the color of the people who live there.

So you aren't willing to consider the possibility that police departments would frequent areas with a consentration of minorities?

Why are you constantly looking for a racial component here? Cops are trained and instructed to patrol high crime areas. If that high crime area happens to be a minority area, then there isn't anything racist about it.

What is you solution? Simply avoid patrolling high crime areas that are populated by minorities to avoid the chance of someone claiming the patrols are not a result of the crime but racially motivated?

I'm simply asking you to consider the possibility that it happens. That you and others are unwilling to even consider the possibility that this could happen speaks volumes.

I was. Growing up, if the cops ever caught you, they would harass the crap out of you. Therefore, we learned a a very young age that if we saw a cop car, we would run.

Perhaps you didn't grow up in a neighborhood where the cops basically patroled your streets all the time.


They wouldn't patrol the street if their presence was not needed there.

I look at it as if that is where the business is, that is where the attraction will be and you will find more cops.

You have a low crime well behaved white or minority populated area and there's no reason to patrol the area unless needed.

If there's a lot of crime there tends to be quite a few cops present!

No, it didn't, but you know that. The system worked, it's just some people had no patience and others wanted an excuse to steal free stuff.

It's a simple question that you shouldn't have a problem putting a percentage to.


It's not that we're unwilling to consider the possibility, in my case I simply choose not to focus on something that is so insignificant it doesn't even factor into the discussion unless it is brought up to stoke racial tensions.

The very people that were upset over it taking so long to charge the cops here...are the same people that claim "a rush to judgement" when one of them fcks up and commits a crime. Principles and consistency are meaningless to these fools.

Fitty, This really isn't that hard. If your job is to protect and serve, as in protect against crime and criminals, enforce the laws, wouldn't you go to where the crime actually is?

If you want to rob a bank for money, would you knock off a lemonade stand instead?

But please, do keep on with what you do best, trollollolloll.

Yea, and some folks were "encouraged" or felt relieved that the only truly awful night was the first one.

Guess why? All the liquor was already gone. Didn't see many bottles flying those subsequent nights, did we? Hunh.

That might not be significant to you but if you were in the 20%, then it would be significant.

So 20% of all police patrols are motivated strictly on race, which would put the number of cops that act based purely on racist motives also somewhere around 20%. One out of every five police cars you see patrolling an area are doing so because they are racist, not because crime statistics indicate the area is at greater risk and therefore needs patrolling.

One more question, what percentage of individuals in this country do you estimate to be racists?

I knew you guys were going to do that.

I was asked to put a percentage on it knowing full well that it would be impossible to do provide scientific data.

If I didn't do it, then I was going to be called out as not having the guts to do it.

If I did, then someone was going to question the number.

LOL.

Why am I not surprised that you would never be satisfied.

If you were in the 20% of what? The racist police patrols? I guess it would be significant to be patrolling just to be a racist.

Odd number though.

So 20% of cops patrolling a minority area are doing so because they are racist and don't like minorities? You do know most cops are assigned a patrol area right? They can't just go patrol minority areas because they want to harass, assault, or arrest minorities.

I'm saying 20% of police patrols in minority areas could be attributed to racial profiliing.

03-lmfao That's some very scientific data you have there, professor.

I knew you guys were going to do that.

I was asked to put a percentage on it knowing full well that it would be impossible to do provide scientific data.

If I didn't do it, then I was going to be called out as not having the guts to do it.

If I did, then someone was going to question the number.

LOL.

Why am I not surprised that you would never be satisfied.

I think most people would have a hard time buying that high of a number. Obviously you think it is a statistically significant percentage, I'm just curious as to what you would to to reduce that number and prevent minorities from being subjected to such racial profiling.

What is you solution? Simply avoid patrolling high crime areas that are populated by minorities to avoid the chance of someone claiming the patrols are not a result of the crime but racially motivated?

I'm simply asking you to consider the possibility that it happens. That you and others are unwilling to even consider the possibility that this could happen speaks volumes.

IF it happens that cops happen to decide to go patrol minority areas for no reason other than the fact that they are racist, what percentage of police patrols in minority areas would attribute strictly to racism? Just to clarify, I'm asking you how often you think it is the case that cops are being blatantly racist in where they decide to patrol.

It's a simple question that you shouldn't have a problem putting a percentage to.


It's not that we're unwilling to consider the possibility, in my case I simply choose not to focus on something that is so insignificant it doesn't even factor into the discussion unless it is brought up to stoke racial tensions.

Fair question.

20%.

That might not be significant to you but if you were in the 20%, then it would be significant.

If you were in the 20% of what? The racist police patrols? I guess it would be significant to be patrolling just to be a racist.

Odd number though.

If you were one of the people who was arrested during the 20% of the time that police are patrolling minority areas and you were beaten or killed, then the number wouldn't be insignificant.

No, no. You didn't say that the 20% was the time spent patrolling in minority areas, you tried (unsuccessfully and nearly indecipherably), to make the claim that of the patrols in minority areas, 20% of them were motivated solely by racism. By racist cops.

Not crime, assigned duties, protection or anything else. 20% of the patrols were because the cops were racist.

Nice attempt to dodge out of that further stupidity, though. 03-yawn
