[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very sad. Double the number of white people get killed by cops every year. I realize that does not mean racism was not involved in incidents, but that the violence cops perpetrate is not just against black people. [/quote]

Link to credible source ?

Per capita, POC much more likely to die by hands of police and to face harsher prison sentences, including death row. [/quote]

They are also disproportionately commiting assaults on police officers, murders, and hate crimes. [/quote]

Links to credible evidence?

DP: Look up FBI data, it's not even close.[/quote]

Look up FBI UCR data.

Read it and weep.[/quote]

I'm not really understanding what this data is supposed to show. That POCs are more likely to be stopped by cops, more likely to be arrested, more likely to be convicted, and more likely to receive harsher and longer sentences?  That officers are more likely to use force, rather than de-escalate situations that involve POCs? That folks tend to commit crimes against people that look like themselves? And these points don't even get into the issues with the data.

The fact remains that this particular situation was not handled appropriately. The LAPD rushed to release the results of preliminary toxicology reports, while withholding seven minutes of footage. Even if Anderson had drugs in his system (which doesn't mean that he was high) he should not have died due to an interaction with the police. [/quote]
