You flipping hypocrite.

Just copying you, asking for stats when you don't like a post.

Your Petard is ready sir!

It's got nothing to do with being white. It's simply being an armed officer. You racist.

the riots might have something to do with that though.

Stats on who white and black cops arrest/question? Stats on who is sentenced to the death penalty and who actually gets killed?

When you say black people are more likely to be involved in crimes, is that because they're the ones who get caught since they're the ones the cops target?

Also, you're suggesting cops should target black people since it's more likely they are guilty?

It's fairly incontrovertible that if a white cop pulls up, you're far better to be white than black.

Try googling for Prison population and racial profiling.

You can also find stats on stop & search.

It isn't racist to criticise white people, especially male, middle-class, heterosexual white people, which most of these policemen are.

No, there aren't a lot of white cops in prison for murder, that's why they continue to do it.

Do they? Is that why there are so many white cops in prison for murder?

Yes, but the white cops do murder a disproportionately large number of black citizens.

If you arm police, you are implicitly accepting a certain number of killings of people by officers. Some of whom will be innocent. That is why if armed police give you instructions you are in imminent danger of death. If you do exactly what they say, you might get out of it alive. If you don't, and get shot dead, it isn't murder - it's suicide. If you do follow their instructions, you might still get shot dead because we're dealing with fallible human beings. Unless it can be shown that it was deliberate and calculated and carried no hint of self-defence, it's not murder. It's the price we pay for having armed police.

You aren't back on Statistics, are you?

Phew! That's alright then.

[d000hg]

what that there are more violent white racists ? Not seen those stats.

There are more Black people arrested and injured by the police but they are also more likely to be proportionally involved in violence on the streets.

Don't blame the BBC. It is relevant in practice. White cop kills black guy = riots usually. Cops of whatever colour killing anyone else of whatever colour is a purely local issue. Same in the UK.

The stats back them up (in this area, not in life generally)

The BBC are above it if the offender isn't white, but they delight in painting whites as racists.
