That a state body can be so plainly demonstrated to be an organ of racial inequality..regardless of the color of the officers who it employs...rather, seems to be the problem.
Dear me, objectivity is not your strongest point is it old bean?
Cops kill people armed or unarmed, a large proportion of blacks compared to total of the black population is extremely high. Yes, we have got that, but why are you avoiding the question as to what race the policeman was when he opened fire. Was he Asian, was he your typical yankee, was he a black cop or a hispanic cop Statistics make a great deal of difference. Cap brought up some useful statistics and not once did I question as to their validity because these statistics provide a valid point in the grand scheme of things. You don't want statistics because it doesn't FIT with your agenda, or should I say objectivity. Again, no point in debating with someone who is not willing to explore the bigger picture and thus capable of objectivity. Have a nice evening.
