Black people in Baton Rouge more likely to be arrested on minor offenses, researchers say

The Advocate

"Black people in Baton Rouge are about six times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center that cites 2016 crime data to show the possible impacts of racial profiling on arrest rates across Louisiana."

Could it possibly be more black people smoke weed?

The Southern Poverty Law Center has no cred.

I read that earlier. So cops are racist for patrolling neighborhoods with high crime rates more frequently?

Remember the first time black people became the majority in Baton Rouge and they got all mad because they couldn’t claim minority status anymore?

Stop screaming "motherfricker" at the top of your lungs on every street corner, and this might not be so prevalent.

This is skewed as frick and misrepresented.

Open data br let's us see it all now.

I can EASILY make the case that LSU students in Tigerland are being targeted for minor alcohol and disturbing peace charges.
