I can not think of one single incident when the topic was performance of a LEO where you did not voice a negative opinion or perspective of law enforcement officers if you responded at all.
Not a one.
of course, I am willing to admit my mistake(s) so feel free to prove me wrong.
Unless you do not speak to your students about current events ever - at all - your negative and usually severely biased perceptions are conveyed to them.
This is the end of this pissing match from my perspective. You and I have known each other for a fairly long time and I would like to keep our relations fairly amiable. But I have a very low tolerance for having smoke blown up my ass. You know that. So the mere fact that I am bowing up at you should be a pretty clear signal that my threshold has been met.
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

Rumbler, you should change your handle.
"Rule #1: Be a f-ing Warrior, every f-ing day, in every f-ing thing you do. Be a f-ing Warrior!
Rule #2: Support your men.
Rule #3: TEAMWORK! Team dynamics are absolutely important. Know your men and support them in every way."
Common sense? Look at the daily arrest reports from here or any other city they are published in.
As for the data; dig for it at the sources I cited. You really do not expect Obama's lapdog Eric Holder to make such data easy to find on the DOJ site do you? The information is there. Nothing that ever shows a contrary finding to the BS an administration is perpetrating is or has ever been easy to find on the FBI site, but with diligence it can be found. The DOP data is provided in inmate demographic and number of reincarcerated inmates information.
In other words; Step #1 is to actually want to find the information you have been programmed not to want to believe.
I'm not going to debate or defend my conclusions based on information available to anyone who wants to find it further. Fraidy, I would have expected that having had a close friend brutally murdered recently by career thugs that DO NOT look like the pillsbury doughboy you would see through the programming being perpetrated on the minds of not just college students but people in general (you want proof of that you need look no further than the oval office). I am a bit disappointed to see you still dubious of something so self evident.

Rumbler-
The plural of anecdote is not data.Fraidy, I would have expected that having had a close friend brutally murdered recently by career thugs that DO NOT look like the pillsbury doughboy you would see through the programming being perpetrated on the minds of not just college students but people in general (you want proof of that you need look no further than the oval office). I am a bit disappointed to see you still dubious of something so self evident.
One of those guys has something like 9 or 10 brothers and sisters who are all successful professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc.); as far as I can tell are productive members of society and his father was a nationally known minister. Should they be shot on sight because they fit the same demographic as their sociopath brother/son?
I've had a close friend murdered, but this isn't my first experience with murder and loss at the hands of evil people. I've been through this a few times now, some were black and others were white.
I'm not saying that black men aren't committing crimes at a higher rate than other demographics, but the 70% statistic is wildly exaggerative. Even if it weren't, that has nothing to do with an individual. What if we applied your logic to everything else?
Domestic dispute... arrest the man and take away his rights.
Murdered woman... send the husband to prison
woman files rape charges... he did it, label him a sex predator
I'm not saying these officers acted inappropriately, I don't have enough info on that, but the assertion that skin color should be a factor is use of force is preposterous.
As for the data; dig for it at the sources I cited.Does not equal citations.That is according to the statistics of the DOJ, FBI, and BOP (bureau of prisons).
DOJ- 36.7% of jail inmates
http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/jim12st.pdf
BB covered the FBI and those numbers aren't anywhere close to your assertion.
BOP- 37.2% of all inmates

Or perhaps recognize confirmation bias that may lead you to ignore the data and come to conclusions that have no basis in fact (or are exaggerated) based on anecdotal observations.In other words; Step #1 is to actually want to find the information you have been programmed not to want to believe.
