A certain segment of the ideological spectrum seeks to have people believe that white cops are somehow out there actively hunting young black males to shoot or, in effect, assassinate. This is idiotic on its face, and obviously untrue based on the numbers alone … ie total population of blacks, total number of police and total numbers shot etc. Yet the media seems to be like a cat with catnip …they can’t let go nor can other who fall for this rot.
A lot of the *organized* effort behind the scenes is driven by the usual radicals who’ve been doing this since the 1960s and whose aim is to, if they get lucky, tear down the evil yadda, yadda capitalist system. The moronic level of thought is what gets me … it’s so depressing that there are apparently that many people in our country and culture for whom truly, the facts don’t matter. It’s as if the truth in Ferguson is irrelevant. (note: Garner incident in NYC a different story).
Ok so what would make the critics happy? Hmmm, how about if the cops until further notice no longer provide police protection in high crime black neighborhoods because it’s becoming too much of a civil and social liability? Personally, if I was a cop, I would either find a new line or work or simply look the other way and not get involved unless absolutely unavoidable. Who loses in that case? The black underclass, as usual. I think that’s the point Rags was making in an earlier post.

well summarized.
As far as making the critics happy to be fair we would have to discontinue police protection in high crime neighborhoods, not just blacks. The end result would most likely be very similar.
The other statistic that should be published daily for a 3 month period are:
how many whites killed by whites in the last 24 hours? in both white and black neighborhoods.
how many whites killed by blacks in the last 24 hours? in both white and black neighborhoods.
how many blacks killed by blacks in the last 24 hours? in both white and black neighborhoods.
how many blacks killed by whites in the last 24 hours? in both white and black neighborhoods.
Then we can determine if there is a pattern and see if that would help clarify the environment our law enforcement faces.
Also during that 3 month period, maybe weekly, have Sharpton give us his review of what he thinks is happening on an ongoing, daily basis. Let's see if he is as articulate with the day to day reality instead of the strategically selected, isolated case that fits his agenda.
Now what could be more fair.
As for the media they need to go to BOTH the white and black neighborhoods, AWAY from the staged protests and get a cross section commentary from the residents what they think about what is reported above.
I know......too much oxygen in the brain today....eh?
