ACTICVE SHOOTER TRAINING COMPLETED

[Frady]

Rumbler-

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.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

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.

That is according to the statistics of the DOJ, FBI, and BOP (bureau of prisons).

Does not equal citations.


DOJ- 36.7% of jail inmates

BB covered the FBI and those numbers aren't anywhere close to your assertion.

BOP- 37.2% of all inmates

In other words; Step #1 is to actually want to find the information you have been programmed not to want to believe.

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.
