I'm sure there is a small percentage of cops that ARE racist, but I doubt it's policy handed down from the top. to tell that story is stupid and dangerous.
The entire criminal justice system is institutionally racist. Its built in.

Long before BLM off duty black cops knew not to intervene with their weapon in almost situation because cops, including black cops, assume that the black guy with the weapon is the aggressor and a free fire zone.

Yeah, you're gonna have to go way beyond anecdotes to prove that statement. Correlation is not causation.

I don't believe that. I would need to see empirical data. people as a whole aren't intrinsically evil.

Chanti is hooked on the victimization drug.

There is no institutional racism in our government lest the actual policies that dis-incentivize white people like affirmative action.

Chanti. It is objectively true that Black people commit more crimes (while asian people commit less crime).

Noticing that objective different is not evidence of racism.

People as a whole are not. I do not believe that more than a small percentage of the people in the criminal justice are either.

But look at the stats.

Nope. See stats above, caught more often, diverted far less, convicted at a higher rate.

For your statement to be applicable one would have to know all committed crimes, not just the ones caught.

statistics can be deceiving. you can't look at race only. the lines are drawn between the rich and the poor. poor people are more likely to be hassled than people with money, plain and simple.

why aren't the asians, or jews represented in either of your opinion pieces? (I don't blame you, I was looking for some different stats before you posted in regards to how many people the justice system employs, and all you get is hard to navigate government sites, or opinion pieces. WHERE IS THE TRUTH IN THIS?!?!?) If the system was "institutionally racist" why let the other races slide?

What if I told you higher conviction rates could actually be caused by higher crime rates? And that all the other stats fall in line after that? Also did you read those op eds? They give non racist reasons for a few of those most often being education and money.

And yes we don't know all crimes committed... neither do cops. They act on the knowledge they do have

The Asians are pretty good at things too. I've see The Asians excel in a lot of academic fields.

iirc it's mostly the ones from historically better off countries/ones focused on education more. And interestingly enough similar is true even here. Decent off families have kids that tend to do better (though rich also have little spoiled shits lol) and parents that pay attention to their kids education also tend to do go... and tend to not put them in public school

The American Progress link is complete garbage. The Slate one actually tries to make a decent case (which is the closest I may ever get to praising Slate), but clearly they went into the article with an agenda and then only reported the stats that most suited it.

It's an observational study, and therefore no causation can be assumed. Not that it would matter anyway, because there are so many factors that go into this that you could never single out racism as a main cause for any of it anyway.
