No one in this “debate” seems to recall that half of the violent crime in this country is committed by Blacks.
That is the rock bottom fact that is being "denied." The unstated assumption is that policy, not facts, results an a "crime rate" disparity relative to demographic proportions. That claim is policy is to accuse, charge and convict blacks for actions that a white person would get away with.
IOW, take the demographics at about 12% of the population being black. Rather than taking the statistic that 50% of the crimes (and something like 90% of the unjustified firearm homicides) are committed by blacks as a signal that blacks are more prone to criminal or violent conduct, the 50% statistic (compared with the 12% demographic) is taken as proof the system is biased against blacks.
It's a form of affirmative action, but for criminals. One of these days, race is going to be taken out of the crime statistics, because the leaders do not want the public to know the facts.
