Must have something to do with all the Confederate flags on display in San Francisco.

A new report released Tuesday shows that African-Americans in San Francisco run a greater risk of being arrested than Caucasians.
The Reentry Council of the City and County of San Francisco, which according to its website coordinates efforts to support adults exiting from local prison facilities, commissioned the report last November. It was prepared by the nonprofit W. Haywood Burns Institute.
The report finds that, in comparison to whites, blacks are 7.1 times more likely to be arrested, 11 times more likely to be booked into County Jail, and 10.3 times more likely to be convicted of a crime in San Francisco.
The disparity gap between whites and blacks arrested between 1994 and 2013 has decreased by 23 percent in California. However, that number is up 53 percent in San Francisco.
NBC Bay Area's Stephanie Chuang just talked to the public defender-- who's pointing to the report and demanding something change. (Published Tuesday, Jun 23, 2015) Police Chief Greg Suhr said that African-Americans make up 6 percent of the city’s population, but 50 percent of its homicide victims. They also represent 40 percent of those arrested and 44 percent of those booked into County Jail, according to the report.
But Suhr also noted that 40 percent of property-crime victims describe an African-American suspect, about the same percentage that is arrested.
San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who co-chairs the Reentry Council, deemed the report’s findings “damning” and “outrageous” -- especially in a city that prides itself on being progressive.
“It shows that African-Americans are more likely to be kept in custody, to be subject to higher bails, more likely to be convicted,” Adachi said.
The report also indicates that fewer blacks are able to stay out of jail prior to trial although they are more likely than their white counterparts to meet the necessary criteria for pretrial release.
San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón believes the report is “very concerning.”
“There is a tremendous social and economic disparity here in the city, even more so than other parts of the country,” he said. The report suggests maintaining accurate ethnic and racial data and monitoring trends and disparities every quarter.
Adachi is now working with San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim to land funding for a Pre-Trial Detention Relief Unit, which will comprise two attorneys and two paralegals. The unit will be responsible for enabling people awaiting trial to access pretrial release programs, bail reduction and electronic monitoring.
Are they also more likely to do crimes, like they are most everywhere else in the 50 states?
In a sense, you are correct. The Districts are well defined. I have no idea, as to your perception of the City.
What about black countries then?
Can you explain why black countries are also places you would not go?
Young black males make up 3%-4% of the U.S. population, yet commit about 50% of the violent crimes. Facts don’t lie.
The crime ratio of black:white is something like 8:1. Hispanic is like 2:1.
The even more damning thing is that the U.S population is about 70% white, 12-13% black, and about 15% other including hispanic/mixed.
The facts are staggering.
Why do black people commit more crimes than other races?
Generally...
10) a few other reasons.. that don’t matter..

I would put welfare at the top of the list as it accounts for several of your other points.
What about the rest of the world though?
Any liberal urinalist bother to check the likelihood of a correlation of statistics that the negros were guilty of the crime just about that much?
Nah, did not think so...........
Liberals and liberal gays are all racist. Heck everyone knows that.
Years ago I read a summary of a study—I think by University of Oklahoma—arguing that a person’s communication skills correlated with his likelihood of being incarcerated. At the time I was working as a counselor in a medium security prison. A black inmate, when passing me in the hallways, would sometimes begin talking in the manner of an educated white man to mock me. I would reply that if he talked like then when he was arrested he may have talked his way out of going to the pen.
Seems I heard Oakland is a rather "ethnic" area.............
The North Bay and South Bay also don't have many blacks. (Santa Clara County is about 2% black while the rest are split evenly among Asians, Hispanics, and white nonHispanics)
The reason most black resident of the Bay Area live in the East Bay, is supposedly because the migration happened in World War II and after, to work in businesses owned by Henry J. Kaiser.
#BlackCrimesMatter
Oh oh
Uber Blue DNC run San Francisco is… racist!
Riots by the colorful inner city types get the MSM coverage these days. A form of reparations, I suppose.
Luckily I live nowhere nearby.
Well, in my lifetime, and I’m an old dude.
You apparently have not been to SF. Hunters Point, Mission, all sorts of areas... The Black Panthers are active there and other has tag bullies.
The reason that so many are arrested is because they break the law
Do they have the Statistics differentiating Gay Blacks versus Straight Blacks?
