Ferguson is majority black....and blacks sadly have an extremely high rate of criminal activity relative to other races.....
3-4 percent of the population commits 50 percent of the crimes. We should have picked our own damn cotton.
Obviously whites need to commit a whole lot more crimes so blacks won't feel so picked on.
The St. Louis County Police Department arrested black people (113.7 per 1,000 residents) at more than three times the rate of nonblacks (32.4). “Something needs to be done about that,” Ezekiel Edwards, head of the ACLU’s Criminal Law Reform Project, told the paper.
Agreed. I suggest you look into ways to reduce crimes committed by black people..........
You know the only thing these wankers care about is that Blacks are arrested, it doesn’t matter one damn bit to them that Blacks are arrested because they committed a crime, oh no that shouldn’t even enter in to it.
It never dawned on them that blacks statistically commit more crimes? I mean, their culture glorifies crime and thuggery. What do they expect?!
Somebody is taking Gruber’s advice, and pitching policy ideas that only the mathematically illiterate could support. Arrest rates for a given sector of the population have an astonishing correlation with the rate at which that sector commits crimes. Apparently the ACLU either isn’t bright enough to figure that out, believes the American public isn’t bright enough to figure it out, or both.
Original article has 6,554 comments. Started reading some of them and they are right on the money. Idiotic race-baiting reporting. Article never should have been approved for publication, as the unspoken premise is completely irrational, ie, blacks are arrested for crime statistically more than any other race nationwide because of discriminatory police practices.
Blacks need to face up to the fact that they have a problem with crime, not as a victim of police arrests, but as a race that is prone to crime. They need to clean up their own house before they start blaming someone else.
If you want to see some real disparity, look at rape statistics that show the race of both the rapist and the rapee. You will see that white-on-black rape is so rare as to be non-existent.
Could it be a possibility that blacks are more violent?
They will never admit that blacks are more VIOLENT! They cannot deal with the obvious reality. It’s the 800lb gorilla in the room.
It couldn’t be because a lot of blacks are involved in crime... just blame da poh-lice for have the temerity to try to keep da hood safe.
What is the arrest rate for Asians... hmmm?
If they didn’t do most of the crimes they wouldn’t be arrested.
What’s the divide between acts of Religious Terrorism?
What’s the racial divide between people accused of Hate Crimes?
Are Whites, Asians and Hispanics being allowed to just walk away from the crimes they commit? Do the Blacks who are arrested commit the crimes for which they are being arrested? Maybe, just maybe Blacks commit more crimes more often than the other groups? This is pretty close to a insanity the way it’s laid out. Anyhow that’s my opinion.
Arrested at a much higher rates, unfairly...
And yet strangely enough, they are convicted by juries.
Duh!
Could be certain people commit more crimes? Hmm......
I agree. Black people need to straighten up and fly right. Then their arrest rate would drop.
In terms of violent behavior they are off the charts.
