re: This is why Black Americans dont trust the police

I'm serious.

No leadership
No list of suggested changes

All these rants....mean nothing. Never will

Tell that to your people, they are the ones dying because they can't have their meds anymore.

Don't forget the heroin. Now that its coming out that white folks are dying by the dozen because of it, abusing it etc etc now all of a sudden there needs to be drug law reform.

Had it been black people thought, jesus christ, another 100:1 sentencing disparity.

There's truth to that in a historical perspective. There are still 2 camps on this subject. One promotes treating it as a health crisis, the other promotes longer prison sentences. I think we've seen from the crack epidemic that the harsher punishment route likely isn't effective.

Well you might be shocked by this but all of the so called "Black Leadership" were killed off or persecuted, some by white people, some by cops, some by black people.

Heck y'all can't even stand to see a man kneel to protest.

And there is a list of suggested changes, but running them by you would be pointless.

are there indications that police disproportionately initiate contact with minorities? In short, no. When it came to traffic stops in 2011, black drivers (13 percent) were stopped more frequently than white (10 percent) or Hispanic (10 percent) drivers. That is hardly a damning finding. Moreover, while blacks (7 percent) were slightly more likely than Hispanics (6 percent) or whites (5 percent) to be ticketed, they were also slightly more likely than whites to be let go with no enforcement action (2 percent versus 1 percent). These disparities are small, and they square with citizens’ perception of police behavior: Eighty-three percent of black drivers who were stopped believed police behaved properly, compared with 87 percent of Hispanic drivers and 89 percent of white drivers. Furthermore, racial differences between citizen and officer made little difference in these perceptions. Black drivers were equally likely to believe they were stopped “legitimately” whether the officer was black (71 percent) or white (70 percent), and among black drivers who believed they were stopped legitimately, those stopped by white officers were in fact more likely to report “proper” officer conduct (94 percent) than those stopped by black officers (92 percent).

More reliable are figures about street-stop rates. As a percentage of the total population, whites, blacks, and Hispanics were all stopped at the same rates (1 percent of the respective groups in a given year).

In shootings in these 10 cities involving officers, officers were more likely to fire their weapons without having first been attacked when the suspects were white. Black and white civilians involved in police shootings were equally likely to have been carrying a weapon. Both results undercut the idea of racial bias in police use of lethal force.

Surprise, surprise. Poor folks are fearful based on propaganda, mainly used by politicians to gain power.

Pure bullshite, your fear of bias is unfounded. Stop being victims of politicians and fear mongers.

Oh so now you see it's ineffective, when your people would be affected by it gotcha.

Any other presumptuous queries?

Your 44k posts on an online forum is even more awesome.

If the black pop is 13% and half the pop is males, then its 6-7% you dumbfrick.
