[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The answer is to radically reduce police interactions with the public by radically reducing the number of laws on the books.[/b]

Traffic laws can be enforced by mailing tickets, and ultimately, putting a lien on the vehicle.

Drug laws should be repealed.

Individual safety is best handled by robust self-defense. Bullies don't mess with people who can kill them. [/quote]

You start off strong. Duante Wright was pulled over for an air freshner. An obvious pretext.

But where you get weak is when you try to tell us that safety is only for the strong. GTFO here with that.[/quote]

He should not have been shot, but to clarify I believe he also had an expired tag.[/quote]

This is simply not true. You’ve been falling for lies (or telling them). Peer-reviewed research has shown, during interactions with the police, black people have no higher chance of being killed than white people.

While black men’s total chance of being killed by police is higher, all of this is due to higher interactions. If you control for that (ie chance per interaction), the research has shown the rate of fatalities to be the same.

I've driven with expired tags (forgot to put the new sticker on). Nobody has ever pulled me over for it.

Well, lots of white people are pulled over for expired tags, or burned out tail lights.  Why are you making this racial?[/quote]

What? Do you not live in reality? It is racial period. Black men pulled over have a high likelihood of dying if they are pulled over. What do you not understand about those stats? [/quote][/quote]
