All of this may be true, but it is not going to impact the meme. People believe what they want to believe, and they don’t really care what the facts are.
More men are in prison than women because men are more violent. More blacks are in prison than whites because RACISM.
Yeah...sure.
Where is the actual report?!!

Two officers shot at Ferguson protest
Two police officers were seriously injured in a shooting early Thursday outside the Ferguson, Mo., police department amid new protests following the resignation of the town’s embattled police chief.
A 32-year-old officer from suburban Webster Groves was shot in the face and a 41-year-old officer from St. Louis County was shot in the shoulder, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. Both were taken to a local hospital, where Belmar said they were conscious. He said he did not have further details about their conditions but described their injuries as “very serious,” but not life-threatening.
Authorities are searching for the gunman. No suspect has been identified.
The protest up to that point was relatively peaceful, but the sound of gunfire just after midnight sent protesters and police officers running for cover. Police dressed in riot gear dragged the injured officers to safety, The New York Times reported.
‘This is what they wanted to happen’
- Ferguson police officer reportedly said after the shooting
Witnesses told the paper they believed the gunshots came from the top of the hill about 220 yards from the station.
The shooting heightened tension at the protest.
“This is what they wanted to happen,” one Ferguson officer said, according to The Times. Another protester reportedly told the officer the statement was untrue.
Police Chief Thomas Jackson was the sixth employee to resign or be fired after a Justice Department report cleared a white former Ferguson police officer, Darren Wilson, of civil rights charges in the shooting of black 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson last summer. Wilson has since resigned. A separate Justice Department report found a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias in the city police department.
Ferguson Police Department should just close shop and let Holder and Sharpton police the town.
Data is racist.
I have the solution:
In the all black precincts in and around Ferguson, Holder and Obama conduct an election to determine the exact % of traffic stops that can happen and the exact # of 911 calls that can be responded too regarding blacks.
Whatever the “fair” number is in the eyes of blacks only then that’s it. If it’s 10% or 90%, black “citizens” get to set it. When that % is exceeded, cops cease and desist.
Then, same thing with the number of black cops, hell, let em all be black.
In other words, give this “community” of blacks exactly the amount and quality of policing they want. Then let’s the rest of us “FORGET ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the reason why the Ferguson PD is broken beyond fixing: “Ferguson’s law enforcement practices are shaped by the City’s focus on revenue rather than by public safety needs.” Nobody is denying that; not the police or the city administration or anybody else. I don’t care if your city is 90% black or 90% white. I don’t care what the demographics of the arrests and citations are. If all your police are there for is to ticket the max number of people and collect the max amount of fines then there is no way the citizens will ever trust the police, and no reason why they should. So any money spent on trying to change the force is money wasted.
Me... I'm tired of paying taxes so police officers can babysit black thugs and their 'families'...
Police should be assigned based on 'eight city block' areas. If more 'policing' is required, the people in that 8 city block area will have a surcharge added to their cell phone bill, cable bill, or subtracted from their 'disability' checks.
I'm sick of paying extra taxes so police can babysit the ingrates.
