What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[John V]

It may be even dumber than that actually since crime overall went up from the 50's and 60's into the 80's and 90's, and then it has been dropping since the 90's. Pointing to crime when the topic at hand is police brutality and treatment of minorities, is nothing more than a red herring.

It's no red herring. It's obvious that groups which commit more violent crime are more likely to have encounters with police. I don't hear you denying that with respect to male v. female.
