    You make assumptions about the number of arrests these black persons have.

    I make no assumptions. Damn man, look at the stats, ,blacks are FAR more likely to have a criminal record than whites, and that's what cops do, they target known criminals.

    This is EASILY proven by the fact that genteel black neighborhoods are not policed as heavy as high crime black neighborhoods, and in fact are policed the same way as genteel white neighborhoods.

    Perhaps some folks are arrested at a much much higher rate than others - perhaps because they are committing these crimes? And you commit the crime, you do the time. And if someone is stating that the difference between these dates is because others DO commit as many crimes if not more, produce those numbers as well with proof that race is a factor and why others have been arrested less.

    Pete, I worked directly in this field for ten years, my wife is an ADA. Believe me when I tell you, on average known criminals are not given the same consideration as first time offenders, regardless of race.

    Are there racist douche cops and prosecutors out there? You bet.

    But in 2017 there were 8.1M arrests in this country. Of those 8.1M , 5.6M were white and 2.2M were black.

    https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s...ables/table-43

    Now let's look at those numbers a few ways.

    First let's look at what percentage of people arrested are black. Fully 27% of people arrested in 2017 were black. Blacks only make up 12% of the US population , yet make u 27% of all arrests? Whites , on the other hand make up 70% which is closer to what one expects since whites make up 67% of the overall population. Meaning , if blacks were arrested at a 1:1 ratio with whites one should expect to see around 15% of all arrests in the US to be of black people.

    Second , let's look at it in terms of how likely a black person was to be arrested in 2017. So let's do the math 42.5M (roughly) blacks in the US , 2.2M black arrests . That means that 5% of blacks were arrested in 2017. 5% Pete, now that puts to bed the stupid argument that blacks are targeted by police because if that were true far more than 5% of blacks would have been arrested in any given year (and in fact that number is lower still because the 2.2M simply tallies ALL arrests, it doesn't take into account the same dumb nigger having been arrested 3 times in one year, which means that 1:20 blacks was arrested in 2017 but in truth the number isn't anywhere near that high.

    Now, let's look at white people. Again , whites are near where you would expect to see . Meaning the percentage of people arrested should be near the percentage of the general population. For example, if blue eyed folks made up 30% of the US population, they should also make up 30% of those arrested, or pretty damn close. So of roughly 234.5M white people 5.6M were arrested in 2017 (and again that isn't entirely true because many of those arrests were multiple arrests of the same person , but the point stands ) So, doing the math we see that 2% of white Americans were arrested in 2017. Some small comparison shows that a black person was twice as likely to have been arrested as a white person in 2017. A little over two times in fact since 2 is obviously 2 is less than half of 5.

    Pete Just by simply dong the actual math you have to concede a few points.

    Number 1. In reality its a small percentage of black people committing the crimes higher than the percentage of white people but still very small.

    Number 2. You would have to ascribe 50% of all the arrests of black people to RACISM to even out the arrests to the point where white people and black people were arrrested at the same rate. It is quite clear that 2.7M blacks weren't arrested in 2017 because of racism. I mean come on lol.

    So, in conclusion we see that two things are true. 1. Those who believe a bunch of blacks are committing a lot of crimes are wrong. Whether they are racists or not is debatable, but they are for sure wrong. and 2. Those who believe blacks are targeted by police because racism and not because of crime are equally wrong, and possibly just stupid.

    The federal government released a new batch of data Monday about drug prosecutions in 2016, and the statistics show that African-Americans and Hispanics are still prosecuted far more frequently than white people for nearly every type of drug crime.
    https://news.vice.com/en_ca/article/...tatistics-show

    The black share of people arrested for drug offenses has ranged from 23 percent (in 1980) to 41 percent (in 1991). Blacks remain far more likely than whites to be arrested for selling drugs (3.6 times more likely) or possessing drugs (2.5 times more likely).
    https://www.brookings.edu/blog/socia...cial-mobility/
    Of course those numbers seem racist. Probably because you managed to expose the TRUTH. Calling the War, or Fight against Drugs racist is easy...especially when you Intentionally Leave Out The Real Context. Such as....More African Americans, and Hispanics are PROBABLY prosecuted more frequently BECAUSE...they happen to be the PURPS more frequently. FACTS are Your Worst Enemy petey.

    Pete's indoctrination runs deep, VERY deep. I don't believe anyone here or anywhere else for that matter, can break through what's been pounded into his head. He believes what he believes and thinks the way he thinks and that's that. No amount of logic, common sense, facts and/or statistics will change his mind. When irrefutable evidence is presented to people such as Pete, they simply brush it aside and pretend it doesn't exist. They REFUSE to even acknowledge it.

    Pete is also a typical leftist. His indoctrination probably started at birth. He will die thinking exactly as he does now. That's what conservatives are up against.

    Valid, logical and true. Thus your words are immediately tossed into the garbage bin by a liberal/dem (such as Pete).
