Disproportionate to what?

[babble-on]

Well, quite proportionate to “drives like complete jackass” if my experience is anything to go by...

[FoxInSocks]

Vehicle stops often can lead to arrests for outstanding warrants, DUI, drug possession . . .

[OttawaFreeper]

I guess that they do not want a repeat of this.

[SpaceBar]

So non-blacks can now file a suit of ‘racial targetting’ by LAPD.

[bk1000]

Disproportionately criminals. What is their point?

[bennowens]

Equality of result = Socialism

[onedoug]

Just get into blackface and you won’t have to worry.

[AppyPappy]

That’s gonna put a dent in those $100 brake light revenues

[C210N]

With the concern and focus on percentage of blacks being stopped, and how to create a more “representative” percentage, the question is how this works.

So, cop pulls over heavily tinted car during day, or any car at night for any one of thousands of reasons. Car and cruiser come to stop by side of road. Cop gets out, driver opens window. Cop sees driver is white, writes ticket. Cop sees driver is black, says “have a nice day” or “have a good evening”. Tally the tickets, and Voila!!! A more “representative” percentage!!!!

Not to mention proportionate to driving around with poorly maintained, smog spewing vehicles.

[Red Badger]

How in hell are the cops gonna fill their quotas?.......................

[2CAVTrooper]

“concluded African American drivers were stopped at a rate more than five times their share of the population.”

That’s because they’re five times more likely to be speeding, or running red lights, etc.

[I want the USA back]

Let people die rather than annoy minorities and lose their votes. The politicians have betrayed the normal people and allowed crime and terrorism to increase with the direct result that normal people die.

[DariusBane]

And lots of $$$!

[gaijin]

Track 1 - “Cops be bustin’ me fo’ NO REASON..!”

Track 2 - “Imma drug-dealin’ OG, makin’ dem fat stacks..!”

Hmm....okaaaaay....

[mrmeyer]

Disproportionately to the law-abiding people of other demographics that don’t break laws at the same frequency

[Tax-chick]

Police Commissioner Shane Murphy Goldsmith said she supports more community policing and youth programs, which she believes will address the root causes of crime.

Sure.
