“Statistical Evidence Not Required” (Heather MacDonald on DOJ and Chicago Police)

RoosterRedux :" Released on Friday, the report found the Chicago police guilty of a “pattern or practice” of unconstitutional force.
But it turns out that the Justice Department has no standard for what constitutes a “pattern or practice”.

This is the same kind of fuzzy logic used by the EPA over the last decade
and it is the same that has been used to defend the "science" of Global warming, or climate change
and then when there are statistics , they fudge the numbers until it comes out to their preconceived agenda.
It is nothing more than sloppiness to justify and agenda.
Here , the agenda is to locate unconstitutional pattern of behavior where there is none !

The ultimate goal of leftists is to eliminate local police and have only a federal police force. Most Americans are unaware of how local police and sheriffs are a bulwark against federal tyranny.

Great Point... the LEGAL standard MUST remain PROBABLE CAUSE !!.. for so many reasons.. this is a HIGHER standards than Reasonable Cause.. because “reasonable” is far more subjective whereas PROBABLE is far LESS subjective and requires substantive EVIDENCE to reach that standard.
