Statistical evidence isn’t required here. But “disparate outcomes” justifying racial preferences use wrongly applied statistics for their diagnosis.

In other words, the law is what they say it is.

WoW (War on Whites).

One would think that statistical data would be relevant to drawing a conclusion of “pattern or practice” of behavior.

Would anyone disagree that any action that is defined as a “pattern or practice” would occur in an least 51% of all similar encounters?

Chicago has a fine, modern, well trained police department and the DOJ just stuck a dagger in its heart.

Chicago has a serious crime problem through no fault of CPD.

Anyone who does not recognize the root cause of the problem lies within the community is blind.

The question to be addressed is; how do you change the culture of the inner city?

The DOJ has made the problem worse - shame!!

It’s the “JUST US” Dept. until 12:01 Jan. 20th. Then re go back to law, order and true justice, I pray!

"Pattern of practice" = "We have no evidence as the witch hunt turned up empty, so we'll use some nonsense doublespeak and claim the right to come down on innocent folks because we need them to seem racist for our agenda to stay on track".

Thank God Sessions will be the new AG....

This particular Justice Department is about to be retired, along with its hooliganism. Just another reminder of what we escaped by defeating Hillary.

Before you can establish a "pattern" or even a tendency towards something you have to establish not only what the normal is, but what the natural variability is.

If I tell you it has been unusually cold the past couple of weeks. Is that a valid pattern/observation? You need statistical data to say well, the average temperatures here in early January are ... Then you also need to quantify the variability of that. Maybe "cold snaps" lasting a few days are also common, or not.

If they are going to abandon objective data for purely subjective labels, then they can simply claim anything they want. They need no proof, no basis in reality. What they are saying is pure fiction of their own making.

One of the main messages understood now to Chicago Police officers from Obama’s DOJ is:

DO NOT ENGAGE IN FOOT PURSUITS OF CRIMINALS.

The message has been received loud and clear.

The 800 murders in Chicago 2016 will be nothing compared to 2017 with 1000 murders or more anticipated.

Make no mistake: the last eight years were intended to pit professional race pimps against Whitey, from the muzzard halfrican on down, in every venue and by any means necessary.

(note: the above being but a subset of 'destroy Western Civilization via Marx, Alinsky, et al')

This report is going to KILL the poor blacks living in Chicago. Liberals pursue their fantasies, but the poor people living there will pay the price.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

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.
