Black and Hispanic officers more likely to shoot than white...

It turns out blacks and Hispanics aren't just more likely to shoot as civilians, but far more likely to use a firearm as police officers, too:

I quickly found the Greg Ridgeway study because I wanted to make sure some control was used to account for the vast difference in black and white police officer shootings:

Why are black officers far more likely to use their firearm than white officers in the same city?

 

This is ok imho. As long as people police their own it removes the race angle. The streets must be cleaned up without all the ado. So, let minorities check the minorities and the majority check the majority ¯\_(&#12484_/¯.

 

This is a good find.

 

Cant wait to see the Black spin on this one. Stand by, its coming.

 

This is a fact.

Lefties prefer emotion.

 

They usually ignore facts.

 

Hmm..., I wonder if the brained washed New Black Panther Micah X knew this before he took out all those cops?

 

Mebbe it's cause dey know...

... blacks and Hispanics...

... are more prone to commit violent crime.

 

I have no problem if black cops kill blacks more often than white cops. Why does blm seem to blame whites when black cops are killing so many blacks ?

 

Because thats the false narrative.

 

Judging by how many progressives on this forum have avoided this thread, it seems they and BLM don't care about the truth...

 

The white cops should only kill whites while black cops deal with black criminals imho. This would remove the race angle altogether.

BLM has a specific focus. And, some parts the black community have their own problems. They really can't afford dealing with the race narratives white cops bring when these interracial incidents pop up. This is why they may have the focus they have.

 

Is this your first day?

 

What are you talking about? Cops kill more whites than anyone else.

 

deerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........attention all hispanic cops..........go kill this bad guy, he looks hispanic.

 

Yes, whatever makes the race narratives go away. Let me add that Hispanics and whites can police Hispanics and whites since they're oft grouped together anyway.

 

Tell that to la raza.

The race narrative wont go away, and you shouldn't seek to modify reality to try.


Deeeerrrrr............theres a bad guy holding a gun to an innocent childs head, but we can't do anything because the cop is say black.

deeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr.

Think.

 

Are you ok? You make it seem like there will be a shortage of cops to handle situations if the force looked more like their community.

 

When seconds count, there won't be a plethora of cops to "handle situations".

It will be whoever can get there soonest.

You sound like a tourist in Disneyland right now.

Think.

 

Sorry, but this is what the 2nd Amendment is for. Personally, I couldn't imagine waiting a cop regardless of race and no matter how close to come save the day. Anyway, if the police is reflective of their community, they should be available when called upon. I seriously don't see the problem with the police coming directly from their own communities.

 

I am very pro second amendment, and yes it potentially will stop these attacks sooner.

But there will be times where people are waiting for cops, where people are unarmed, etc.

In that case Im not about to let people die because the cop isn't the same race as the criminal.

I know and work with cops, they don't care, nor should they-what color the suspect is.

 

If the police looked liked the community they were policing, this won't be an issue.

The thing is people have to decide whether they react to race-baiting stories or realize that the stories are flame bait and wait for all facts to emerge. Since it is very apparent many people can't do this, I see absolutely nothing wrong with the police coming from the places they police or at least being a direct reflection of the community to avoid the extremely inflammatory race topics.

Racial awareness is in this country's DNA. Pretending people are oblivious of it just leaves people simmering to become pretty reactionary later. No one wants to truly solve problems because it feels good to bash people. So, those who like to bash can bash their own. And that's my 2.

 

Simply false. That was the assumption made by people (mostly lefties) when LEO's started hiring more and more minorities.

Now the white cops are still blamed (baltimore), and the black cops are actually treated even harsher because black lefties call them uncle toms.

You seem to think there is a solution to all of the lefty whining out there.

If they weren't crying about this, it would be something else.

Their game is fairly obvious Im concerned you aren't paying attention.

 

The "Lefties" aren't wrong on this particular point though. It was in the OP too with the claim that black officers are more likely to use their firearms than white officers. The difference is the reaction to when a black cop uses his gun on a black person versus a white cop using his gun on a black person. Some black officers being called "Uncle Toms" is a trivial price to pay in lieu of the more damaging and costly race narratives.

The media was able to spin the Baltimore incident into a racial story because of the white officers involvement of a black person's murder. And...it came on the hills of a cop shooting a black man in the back. If troubled areas are to be policed by a reflection of the neighborhood, no white cops would have been involved because the black victim lived in a 98% black area. The racial minorities policing their own especially in very troubled areas is a good solution. More black officers need to be hired. Heck more black public servants need to be hired.

 

It wasn't just the media, it was politicians-local, state, up to the Chump in Chief.
Baltimore has turned into even more of a crap hole since, btw-many cops (all colors) know its not worth the risk to be pegged by the community, or its "community organizers" as a bad guy no matter what they do. So now crime has only gone up. People have boarded up their windows because of the bullets flying.

And 10 years from now the same lefties will be suing those police departments for putting blacks/hispanics on the department because they are actually more likely to use force. (I think whites are more afraid of being called racist and rightly so)

You simply can't win with the left, and should not even try to play their game.

Crazy ole me-I actually think its best not to treat people differently based on their race and in fact doing so is the definition of racism.

The left wants its identity groups to be treated as special flowers.

As they say-play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Appeasing the left only gets you more of that behavior and establishes that they can play you-and they will be back-even if you've "bought" a few minutes of peace.
