Yes black people are 'policed differently'. By definition. They commit 60% of the violent crime in the nation. 45% of the murders. No doubt that they are convicted of these crimes in far greater numbers than any group.

Should there be a strict racial quota on such convictions? I mean you have now retreated to 'difference in policing'. The amazingly out of control crime rate amongst balck communities is absolutely shocking.

Do we police violent crime and murder differently? Do we step up patrols in River Oaks to show 'equal policing'?

Seriously, to huge extent the conviction rate in black society is a massive problem. Seemingly at some level a self-inflicted one. But yet everyone else is to blame for this?

By policing differently, I'm more referring to the white kid who gets caught smoking a doob in his car gets told to go home whereas the black kid in the same situation gets arrested. Maybe gets pulled out his car and thrown to the ground to top it off.

So, an opinion based on stereotype, as opposed to one based on statistics?

"Police brutality" is notoriously hard to represent with good data. People dying at the hands of cops is much more reliable from a data standpoint but it doesn't provide the full picture of the problem.

Since it is difficult to represent with good data, that makes it the perfect catch all.

Statistically, we are probably lookinf at a couple of incidents a month out of millions of police/citizen interactions daily. Somewhere along the lone of 0.0000000001%, give ior take a few zeros.
What is the definitiion of systemic again?

As for the white kid with a doob vs. the black kid with a doob, are all other things equal? How do you know? The whole thing is just supposition based on urban legends. I think if anything, unequal treatment is based more on economics. But who needs facts when you have a point to make.

I raised three white sons. Never caught a break as far as I know.
