Everyone jumped on him for that and he later backtracked but his point of "what do you want to police to do if one segment of the population commits a disproportionate amount of the crime" still stands. Like do you think white people are committing a bunch of violent crimes and the police just turn a blind eye to it? You can argue that a racist structure holds blacks down etc which is why theirs higher criminality within that group of people but to call police collectively racist seems strong and very wrong.
Assuming you haven't heard about the pope rapes that went on for decades and the police knew. Assuming you haven't heard of the affluenza case. Assuming you haven't heard of the guy who just got 6 mos for rape. Their is a definite bias in the justice system that leads to these skewed numbers.
White people have just as many guns and just as many drugs in their communities, but the police aren't as aggressive.
Funny you bring up 70% of black people commit robbery in
New York. Isn't that where Wall Street stole millions of dollars from people during a recession where people were losing houses and 401Ks, but executives were getting multi million dollar bonuses? Oh were they prosecuted? Umhm. Oh and the big pharmaceutical companies that denied care to dying people? Umhm. Or the guys that come up with new pharmaceuticals just to make quick buck, but kill people and babies because their drug wasn't tested thoroughly enough. Umhm
When people are blinded by what goes on in the real world it is easy to listen to any narrative of who the bad guy and your enemy is.
If you are white, you are more likely to be affected negatively by Wall Street or insurance companies, but be scared of black people because they are the ones who will kill you and rob you.
