YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And just look at the kind of crap we must endure because of TWISTED LIE-beral values:::::
Here is an article that all dedicated social justice warriors will definitely WANT to read! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Criminal behaviour, not racism, explains 'racial disparities' in crime stats

A new study on racial disparities in police conduct found that differences in offending by suspects, not racism, explains officers’ responses.
In the study “Is There Evidence of Racial Disparity in Police Use of Deadly Force?” professors from Michigan State and Arizona State universities analysed officer-involved fatal shootings in 2015 and 2016. The report’s abstract says: “We benchmark two years of fatal shooting data on 16 crime rate estimates. When adjusting for crime, we find no systematic evidence of anti-black disparities in fatal shootings, fatal shootings of unarmed citizens, or fatal shootings involving misidentification of harmless objects … Exposure to police given crime rate differences likely accounts for the higher per capita rate of fatal police shootings for blacks, at least when analysing all shootings. For unarmed shootings or misidentification shootings, data are too uncertain to be conclusive.”
(Oh dear! LIE-berals will be dismayed to hear that it is black criminals that are the cause of black problems with cops! Black Lives Matter bigots have made careers out of defending goofs with outstanding arrest warrants!)
Two recent studies found cops more reluctant to use deadly force against blacks, including one by a black Harvard economist. Prof. Roland G. Fryer Jr. concluded: “On the most extreme use of force —officer-involved shootings — we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account.”
(LIE-berals will not admit it- but this result- cops being reluctant to intervene in black “problems” is what LIE-berals are shooting for! Black Lives Matter bigots have even stated that police/aka “the occuppying army”- should not enter a “black” neighbourhood without express LOCAL BLACK approval!)
But aren’t blacks routinely “racially profiled” by cops? Not according to the Police-Public Contact Survey. Produced every three years by the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, the survey asks more than 60,000 people about their interactions with the police. It asks respondents’ to provide age, race and gender. It asks them whether they had any contact with the police in the last year; what was the experience like; how were you treated; was there a use of force and so on.
(Cops simply go where the crime is! Thus they come more often into contact with blacks! And with Cdn natives as well!)
Turns out, according to a September 2017 National Review article, black men and white men are about equally likely to have a contact with a cop in a given year. As for multiple contacts, defined as three or more with the police in a given year, 1.5% of blacks vs. 1.2% of whites fall into that category. Not much difference.
(LIE-berals are absurd regarding their definition of “not much difference”! If that small difference might cost them a vote or two then it is A BIG DIFFERENCE!)
There’s also the National Crime Victimization Survey, which questions victims of crimes, whether or not the criminal was captured, as to the race and ethnicity of the suspect. It turns out that the race of the arrested matches the percentage given by victims. So unless victims are lying about the race of their assailant, unconcerned about whether he gets caught, blacks are not being “overarrested.”
A reasonable discussion about blacks and police practices cannot take place without acknowledging the disproportionate amount of crime committed by blacks. According to the Department of Justice’s “Felony Defendants in Large Urban Counties, 2009,” in the country’s 75 largest counties, blacks committed 62% of robberies, 45% of assaults and accounted for 57% of murder defendants.
(LIE-berals DO NOT INTEND EVER - to enter into a “reasonable discussion: about crime because so doing would cost them votes!)
The number one cause of preventable death for young white men is accidents, such as car accidents. The number one cause of preventable death for young black men is homicide, usually committed by another young black man, not a cop. In 2016, according to the latest data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, 7,881 blacks were killed.
The courageous Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald, who writes extensively about police practice, asked: “Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks. In 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous … Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.”
(OH DEAR! The COPS HAVE MORE to fear from blacks than the other way around? How WILL LIE-berals ever explain that one? Oh- wait- they wont explain! They will just DENY AS USUAL!)
In 2012 in the city of Rialto, Calif., population approximately 100,000, cops were randomly assigned body cameras based on their shifts. Over the next year, use-of-force incidents on the shifts that had cameras were half the rate of those without cameras. But something rather extraordinary also happened. Complaints against all Rialto police officers were down almost 90% from the prior year.
It turns out when civilians knew they were being recorded, they — not the cops — behaved better and stop making false accusations. The use of force by cops also declined, but, again, not because the police changed their conduct. No, the cops continued performing as they’d been trained. Civilians, aware that they were being taped, were less confrontational and were more likely to co-operate and follow instructions. As a result, cops needed to use force less frequently.
(OH DEAR! Now criminals are changing their behaviour for fear of being exposed as LIARS by video played in court? This is more stuff for LIE-berals to IGNORE!!!! AT OUR COST!!!!!!)
Still, when actor Jesse Williams gave a four-minute rant at the 2016 BET Awards about what he considered racist police practices, he claimed, “What we’ve been doing is looking at the data, and we know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day.”
(But then white people are MORE AMENABLE to calm resolution of cop issues! In my own case I was pulled over at gunpoint by an OPP officer operating on a case of mistaken identity! I was not shot because I remained CALM and followed cop orders while the mess was sorted out! My behaviour is in SHARP CONTRAST to that of FLEEING BLACK FELONS! Black felons KNOW its NOT mistaken identity- so they take desperate chances to escape- and too often get shot for their dangerous stupidity!)
(IT is of course annoying to be pulled over for mistaken identity- and especially annoying to be at gun point- but if it was YOUR STOLEN property they were searching for then you would be more patient!)
(WE all have property rights- and that means we MUST be a little bit patient as cops do their job- the one our ELECTED GOVT PAYS them to do!)
