US police data

I been studying research studies on police and racial disparities. Here is one from MSU.edu.

“We found that the race of the officer doesn’t matter when it comes to predicting whether black or white citizens are shot," Cesario said. "If anything, black citizens are more likely to have been shot by black officers, but this is because black officers are drawn from the same population that they police. So, the more black citizens there are in a community, the more black police officers there are.”

I believe we should be looking at the data and not just the media. This is a ongoing study in which some of you may want to add your own research. We need facts not opinions.

Another question would be what has contributed to these high crime areas. Welfare? Drug cartels Fentanyl ( other drugs) release within our country, poor assimilation, etc.

I am by no means a pacifist. I believe that if a man commits murder. He should be hung. Be he black white brown orange or red. No man's life is worth more than another's...

Yah I agree.

Do you have any data about the subject to add?

Do you have any input on what has contributed to crime infested neighborhoods where police are more active?

What are the numbers for race who are in poverty?

If we can examine the facts then we can know what should we be supporting as seekers of truth.

I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, The cop's are too big of wimps to go after the thug's and criminals'
so they take it out on innocent. This is what troubles me.

But do you have evidence of this? Like data to compare between cases where the criminals are arrested compared to incidents where a innocent individual was abused? If they are isolated cases then we shouldn't use such broad language.

I was searching for data for the percentage of High Ranking Police Officers that happen to African American - as I suspect that several cities are well represented at the top positions... Which would suggest an interesting prism for potentially examining other underlying problems. I suspect that poor training and ineptness is a bigger problem than people might suspect. Unfortunately, my quick quirey only produced general data and demographics...

@Desdichado posted a ink to this (< clickable link) article the other day...

When was the last time that you heard that the police stormed a crack house and made arrests.? Oh yeah, that girl in which police rushed in and shot her over a subpoena...

I had heard when ''El Chapo'' began naming names in high places who he was paying off for protection the court case went from open to the public to closed to the public .. It led me to think people in high political places were in on it with drug cartels and do provide protection .. ''Easy money''

The real issue is that if black police officers shoot black criminals, the matter of race cannot be brought up. And that is why there should have been a strict policy of always pairing black and white officers in all the cities of America. And in predominantly black communities, only black officers would be allowed. Every time there have been riots it has always come back to race. Yet this simple solution was never applied and no lessons were learned.

However, when it comes to rioters, looters, and anarchists, and domestic terrorists such as Antifa, the police should be replaced by the National Guard. And the governor of Minnesota allowed 48 hours to go by before getting the National Guard of the scene. In the meantime, police and firefighters allowed the rioting to go out of control.

A lot of plain stupidity has been left unaddressed for decades, and now we are seeing the results of this negligence.
