I don't see the problem is recognizing that some groups get worse treatment, even after we control for variables. Im not paralyzed, and i know people that are, face challenges i will never have to encounter. This would is tailor towards those that can walk

Im not a woman, I don't face their challenges. All groups in the country haven't been equally treated over time, even as our laws became more inclusive. Why is there such a stink about it? I just find the hesitancy to accept t his or recognize this to be willfully ignorant.

... because that doesn't reflect the demographics of the city. That wouldn't be a problem if prosecutors haven't used those demographics before to there advantage or to get convictions.

Im only reporting on what has been done. Friends with several Defense Attorneys, and they lament on how they can't get a true jury of their peers in their districts.

Then they should work on improving. Both sides are involved in jury selection. Quit playing the victim.

I feel like any mention in the media of outside agitators will just make them more brave, and cause their numbers to grow because of the recognition. Kip did the right thing, not acknowledging them and letting police do their job. Pretty sure this time will be the total opposite.

Withholding what evidence? And from who? The only entity withholding evidence was Loretta Lynch's DOJ- by sealing Altons toxicology reports and autopsy. What were THEY trying to hide? Why isn't Broome demanding those be released?? Why doesn't Broom publicly acknowledge the fact that Sterling was a felon that was selling drugs while in possession of a gun?

Yeah, I'm sure there are a few bad apple cops in the department. That goes for anywhere with a PD that size.

And when/ where did the FBI make this "insurgency by white supremacist terrorists" claim?! That's laughable.

How much of the city's violent crime is committed by that 30-40% of the population?

Why aren't more blacks applying for police officer jobs?!

Perhaps addressing those issues would be a start. It's time to stop blaming the police, the government, whitey and whoever else for the problems created within your own communities.

Our own Federal Bureau of Investigations has highlighted how our LE Agencies are facing an insurgency from white supremacist terrorists...wouldnt it be prudent for a mayor of a city with a 30-40% black population to keep a keen eye on her PD in light if this information?

Do you understand that OBAMAS DOJ under the political hacks Holder and Lynch- couldn't find charges against most of the officers in these shooting cases right?!?! And considering that Obama and holder couldnt even wait till Mike Browns body was cold before they started with the attacks and accusations against the police officer, they wouldve charged him with anything they could to claim a political win. They found NOTHING.

Yet These officers-who were found to be justified in the shootings- have had their careers ruined, their reputations destroyed and some are forced to relocate because of threats by the community residents.

You want accountability? How bout we hold the criminals and communities that protect and harbor them accountable instead?! Why not just have the police stop risking their lives by patrolling and responding to calls in these shitehole neighborhoods and let the problem work itself out? I'm fine with that. Are you?

She can't. This ain't her party. DOJ has control of announcements at this point. She is just along for the ride until all hell breaks loose.

The Tulsa officer and the South Carolina officers were both charged- and if a jury of their peers finds them guilty, they'll be punished and suffer the consequences.

And believe it or not, regardless of whether or not the politicians, activists,protesters or the friends and family of the victim want to acknowledge or admit that he/ she had a gun, resisted, were high on drugs, etc; those things are considered evidence in the investigation. That's how the criminal justice system works.

The problem is that people like yourself just think every officer involved in a shooting should be "held accountable" and punished regardless of whether the shooting is found to be justified or not.

Facts actually matter outside of liberal lalaland.

They were held accountable.

And by all accounts so far, they did nothing wrong. If they had, the Obama/Lynch DoJ would've liked nothing better than to hang them out to dry.
