Why is it that blacks are stopped WAY more than whites, but when
searched, whites are more likely to have contraband on them. They
should be stopping more whites.

I'm not saying racism does not exist, but they are not doing their part
to stop it.* When 13.8 percent of the population commits 27 percent of
the crimes it does not help their plight.

Did you look at the statistics?* Asians are 5.4% of the population but
only commit 1.2% of the crimes.* All I'm saying is, just because a black
person is stopped does not mean it is racist.* Sometimes it is, but
often it is because they commit more crimes.* They have the power to
change that. Do you think they should work on it?

Guess what. There is more crime in areas of extreme poverty. That
doesn't mean cops should treat everyone with dark skin as criminals by
default, which is a severe problem with many cops, who are allowed to
continue operating that way.

"Severe problems with many cops" What problems and how many? "Continue
operating that way" What way?

Did you ever do a ride along? How do you know what race the person is when you
stop them? Tinted windows and all that? Just because they are swerving all over
the place with loud music and throwing crap out the windows means if they are
black they shouldn't be stopped? How about the cops that see unconscious people
and give them Narcan; whatever their race?

You should realize that the municipal leadership determines what cops do. The
people elect these 'leaders' that don't lead, don't know how to lead, have no
idea how to lead, have no incentive to lead. One example is Lori Lightfoot.
There is a reason for reputations.

You should get your statistics from reliable sources then your ranting and
raving might become more creditable.
