I said previously that I was replying to this comment not made by you.....
Quote: For there to be absolutely no racial bias in these killings, only 10-15% of police brutality victims should be black. It's far more than 15% going on the frequency of which we hear about it compared to whites being killed.I'm saying there are other factors was in response to this person saying that if there was no racial bias the victims of police brutality should align with population sizes.
I then said I think there are other factors like rates of resisting arrest and overall crime rates and contact with the police that probably also contribute. You wouldn't expect asian and black rates of police brutality to totally align with their population sizes when one groups crime rate towers above the other therefore making one group have way more interaction with the police. Again I'm not saying the police should dish out more brutality, but just from the law of averages it's bound to make a contribution to the likelyhood of an act of brutality from the police the more contact someone has with them.
From what I can see Asians make up 5% of the population but they are 2% of all the police killings.
Which is the exact opposite of the statistics for black people. If the differences are just because of racial bias this means the police inherently love Asians, like white people, act fairly to hispanics, and dislike black people. That's if you ignore factors like crime rate and resisting arrest and focus on racial bias.
I agree that the police being prejudice is bad for minorities.
I was talking about the crips in an unrelated matter to do with the specific website I posted a few pages back.
