Perhaps blacks in Missouri **** up twice as much?
It is a very racialized situation down there in Ferguson if you haven't noticed.
Seems your hunches are all wrong:
The police department in Washington, DC, has
the highest percentage of Black officers (69 percent)
of any police department in the country, a figure that
is proportional to the city’s population (66 percent
Black) (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1999).

New York City:
47.8 percent of the city’s officers are white, 28.7 percent Hispanic, 17.9 percent black and 5.4 percent Asian.
The Missouri attorney general's office issues annual reports that show the Ferguson police force is almost twice as likely to conduct searches of African Americans during traffic stops. But searches of whites are more likely to result in the discovery of drugs and other contraband. Statewide numbers follow a similar trend.

The two are not comparable.Previously:How does forced racial quotas show him to be wrong?
You can't force someone to take a job they don't want sooo... what the hell are you talking about? you can't fill a quota with people who didn't want the job in the first place.Sounds like blacks aren't interested....
Don't read much do you? Here I'll post it again for you to read... hopefully correctly this time:

Quick quiz...
Of the two races being described here by the Missouri attorney general... which race is most likely to be ****ing up more?
Made so by the racialists.
Think about it: a town that is 67% black is run by a buncha racist white boys?
Uh that's just two departments. And just so happened to be for two of the largest and most important in the country, thus having the ability to recruit as well. So if we're going to go this route, let's look at the big picture:
BJS: Local Police
So I don't have specifics, but we know that 75% are white, and the piece says that 10% are hispanic. Leaving 15% for blacks then? We're still talking about a much smaller pool to draw from. And I doubt a lot of people are looking to go to St. Louis...
Fun Fact though... for all the crap we're giving LAPD, did you know the majority of them aren't White? Latinos are currently the largest ethnic group on the police force..
No one is saying that. No one but you.
Ever hear of "probable cause"? Look it up!

Quick quiz on what you just read...

That's exactly what you're saying! Don't start crawfishin!
Not surprising. Just saying it's very odd to have such disparaging percentages in the police force of a department where the population is soooo different. It usually reflects the community much closer.
For what it's worth though, and I'm curious is the Missouri statistics show this as well, nationally White people are *pulled over* just as much as black people are. However, in an effort to be open and frank, it does seem there are more searches on blacks though...
Supply and demand. Sometimes you just don't have that option you know?
No... No I'm not. I'm saying the police department doesn't reflect the population it is policing much at all. And now it's causing a shooting situation to turn into a racial tensions because of it.

True but 2/3rds of the population is black and 94% of the police are white? That's not off by a little.
So the riots weren't really about getting back at the white men... or anyone else for that matter then was it? That's what I hear when I hear that black people were getting hit as well...
A shooting that you're claiming was because of racism.
I think it was just aggression from a community that regularly gets the short end of the stick when it comes to law enforcement.

So why aren't they disclosing the race of the cop? Would it make a difference if the cop was black?
