[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those articles have the same flaw as most of the other propaganda being pushed in the media.

[b]Black people are subjected to force in proportion to their violent crime and resisting arrest statistics.

Why would you expect the numbers to be proportionate when there are such vast disparities in violent crime?[/quote]

So they are basing their very behavior on statistics that blacks are disproportionately arrested and convicted of violent crime and resisting arrest.

And yet, it is very clear here, from watching the video, that he was not violent, he was calm, his hands were outside the window and he was trying to engage in simple, calm dialog.  So, clearly he was a black man prone to violent crime and resisting arrest and they were going to treat him as such.  Even though his behavior was completely contradictory.  The video evidence and officer reports to the police department according to the spokesperson contraindicates every one of the police officers actions.  They pulled him over on manufactured offenses (the license plate which they admitted in the light was completely visible, the 2nd officer admitted that it was routine for minorities to drive to well-lit areas for a traffic stop) and he was not behaving erratically like when affected by substances, he was not behaving violently, he was not resisting arrest, since there was absolutely no justification for arrest for a completely mistaken ordinary traffic stop.

Zero logic or reason to behave as they did and yet they did.  These two officers need some retraining, some administrative action and the police force is up for some hefty damages because of their racist behavior.[/quote]
