I think police departments in this country played the same statistical games under Clinton.
When I was back in the uk this year, my nephew related he story of when he visited a cashpoint in London.
"Hey Nike"
Nephew ignores and keeps on walking.
"Hey Nike give us a tenner" (nephew is wearing a Nike t-shirt)
Nephew keeps on walking.
Withinn 10 minutes, my nephew, approximately 25, enters a cafe and is reminded "I aint leaving till you give me 50 quid"
To cut a long story short, he gave the perp 30 quid ($50) and the perp left.
My sister (who I love very much), thinks her son did the right thing.
And before everyone states what they would have done, I would like to remind everyone he is happily alive.
However, this isn't a gun issue.
This government, and successive governments(including Maggie Thatcher's) chose this route.
The decision to diversify Britain, as one head of the BBC called Hideously White ,has proven to be a disaster of titanic proportions.
Unfortunately, the question remaining is not if the ship goes down, but when.
You think they do...I know they do. There are several well-sourced books available that illustrate the disparity of crime rates among races in the US. That, of course is a huge sore spot for liberals. But don't worry, they've taken steps to ensure crime rates are evened out...at least according to "official" statistics.
It's well known that blacks are in the highest crime rate, Hispanics in the middle, and whites below them. So to correct the huge gap between black and white the Federal Department of Immigration and Naturalization Service now does interesting things with crime statistics (actually it's been done for several years now.)
When an illegal alien (most commonly of Mexican descent) commits a crime such as auto theft, robbery, assault, etc. that person is not identified as Hispanic, but rather as white. Conversely, if the victim is an illegal alien of Mexican descent, that person is correctly identified as Hispanic, not white. It's merely a numbers game. In effect, white crime rates become wildly inflated.
Hmph. They probably were "encouraged" to play the game in exchange for Clinton adding 100,000 to the country's police forces.
