I would have thought so too. But with Twitter effectively kneecapping Trump by banning him, they've managed to neuter/silence the guy. He's harmless without his pulpit and bullhorn.
Very interesting. Not many white folk get a taste of this. But I suspect that if you HAD been black, it might not have had such a happy ending. You might not have even made it to the police station.
Do you have any proof to back up those claims of such blatant abuse? If they aren't audited the paper trail, how would they know any abuse is happening at all?
My point was that it goes deeper than statistics. There are cultural and social economic issues at play as well. At the end of the day, people tend to be more suspicious of black people. Jesse Jackson's quote comes to mind:
"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
It goes far deeper than the statistics. Yes, the police kill more whites than blacks. But that's simply because there are more white people. If you look at actual interactions with the police... a black person is far more likely to end up dead, than a white person. That's the stat that matters.
