Source: Baltimore Police Officers Want To Oust The Mayor [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 05/03/15

Posted on 05/03/2015 7:05:15 AM PDT by Enlightened1

During a Baltimore-based radio talk show on Thursday, a man who identified himself as a Baltimore police officer named “Jeff” called into the program and said fellow police officers were organizing to push out the city’s mayor.

“There is right now over 50 of us officers who are immediately asking for [Baltimore Mayor] Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to step down for what she did to us Monday,” the caller told WBAL radio host Derek Hunter.

The Baltimore mayor has denied giving “stand down” orders and blamed the media for misinterpreting her comments about providing “a space” for protesters to loot.

“Any other time in my career, if somebody were to throw a brick or a block at me, we would take immediate actions to pull our weapons on them. Numerous times on Monday when our officers were being injured, our commanders are telling us ‘stand down, stand down.’ You had no idea what it did to us as police officers to sit there,” said the self-described “21-year veteran” of the Baltimore police department.

“Our commissioner was so upset Monday night. You could see it in his voice as he’s giving interviews. He wanted to let us do our jobs,” insisted the WBAL caller.

“Jeff” continued to explain that the way to shut down situations from escalating is to “lock up” the first agitator the moment they start breaking the law.

No doubt they are skewed. The reason I know they are skewed is because there are zero reported in the following years which is flat out impossible. My anecdotal knowledge of whites raping blacks is zero but also irrelevant like most freepers. Your source, discoverthenetworks.org has a nice article and points out a lot of useful facts about black on white crime in general. But their source is the same NCVS conducted by the Census Bureau. So the same bad data.

I know it is bad because you can't go from thousands of cases one year to zero the next year. Simply physically impossible. But is possible to have hundreds every year and have shoddy sampling turning it into thousands one year and zero the next. That sounds exactly like what the census bureau has done. In nay case zero is not the correct number, and we don't know the correct number, only that it is a lot less than black on white rape.

I just talked to my brother in law in Chicago. He says he hasn’t heard of any White on Black rapes there. He has lived there since 1967. The figure of thousands of White on Black rapes that you cite goes against every other source I can find doing searchs through multiple search engines as well as my life experience. Do you have any other source to back up that statistic? I couldn’t find it even on the link you posted.
