    Well, you're wrong claiming to know what I say because you clearly don't.
    But I think the reason I see so many threads about white-on-black crime is because I spend more time in Current Events than in Race Relations.

    Those are the stories that make it to current event status.... just watch the news.

    Which is why George Zimmerman & Dennis Wilson are household names.
    Trevis Austin... not so much.

    it didnt work in baltimore because baltimore has a majority white police force. thats not a difficult stat to digest is it.

    we dont have freewill. that is an illusion. everything you do, you were ALWAYS going to do that. You decided to make a change and have a budwesier for breakfast instead of your usual tennents super, you thought you made that choice but in fact you were ALWAYS going to have a bud, there was nothing different you could have done. that is scientifically proven, that you think you have choices is the myth and delusion you feed yourself.

    48 % white, 44% black. if you are willing to argue over a simple stat that proves you wrong what merit is there in the philosophical discussion on the illusion of freewill?

    No. Actually it means nothing. A person has no choice but to stay Black if they were born Black. Micheal Jackson tried to change that fact, but he couldn't.:smile:

    "
    Here’s what the data shows about the racial makeup of Baltimore’s finest:

    * Of the 2,745 active duty police officers in the department — 1,445 — more than half are African-American, Hispanic, Asian or Native American, according to data provided by the Baltimore police department to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

    * Four of its top six commanders are either African-American or Hispanic.


    * More than 60 percent of the incumbents at the highest command levels hail from minority communities.

    * Among the 46 Baltimore police officers who hold the rank of captain and above, 25 are from ethnic or racial minority groups. That constitutes 54 percent of the command leadership.

    In other words, Baltimore is a black-majority city led by a police force whose officers are mostly racial minorities as well.

    You don't read so well do ya?


    But then you're a calvinist so you'd always have not read so well eh?

    That's not what it means. Are you black? If you are you know that is not what it means.

    Really? Then why even go to work because everything that is going to happen today is already set in stone and not going to work won't change a thing. Have another hit, a blow for your nose, one more drink full will drawn you.

    so that means police whites are 48% and police blacks are 44%. How is that reflective of the community which is over 70% black?

    its not set in stone, its a process that evolves as the neurons in your brain spark. you think you chose to respond to my post but in actuality you were always going to respond, that is a certainty.

    Ah but there arises a practical point of law at that stage of 'leveling the playing field according to leftist P.C. standards' in that legally speaking you cannot be a police officer if you have a criminal record -- and also I believe that there are a few other legal caveats in there as well. Now since only 12 percent of the population of this nation commits about fifty percent of the crimes; well even a leftist should be able to perceive the difficulty in finding enough applicants with untainted backgrounds.

    But wait! There's more! Let's assume that most of Dem Party controlled Baltimore is of the typical mindset of what seems to be typical of leftist mindsets everywhere in that they seem to "Hate forking Police Officers!" Now why would one expect good and decent and honest leftist Blacks with a clean background to want to become HATED police officers? So forth and so on. Solution? There ain't none. Welcome to reality 101 leftwingers.

    in other words its a catch-22.

    the white cops dont want the black cops to outnumber them so the white cops arrest as many blacks in the community as possible and thus limiting the possible recruiting pool for black cops. what an awful situation america is in when it comes to this.

    Now that would be an interesting premise for a novel, but it doesn't fly under examination unless one supposes that all White officers and all Black officers are segregated by skin tone and ethnic features and KNOW ethnic loyalties once they hit the streets. You see what I mean? A Black officer -- who's armed to the teeth and with the legal power to effect arrests -- would NOT just turn a blind eye to selective racism in arrests by White officers unless said Black officers ALSO hate Black citizens with a similar supposed seething passion. So then are Black cops stupid or do they hate Black citizens? Considering that there is a Black mayor and a Black police chief in point of fact EVIL White cops simply could not get away with being Black-hating racists . . . but EVIL Black cops could . . . :cool:

    It is a process that evolves but I'm the one who decides in the end what I am going to do. I've changed the outcome in my life many times. It's easy. Anything I can imagine I can make happen. If I clear my mind and imagine no future then I will have none. I'm exactly where I put myself, I hold all the power.

    more than half are racial minorities. You opined that the white devil was the majority of the police force. They are not.
    You're welcome.


    But then you'd always never have gotten this right?

    this would all assume that there was no racism within the police force itself AND that there wasnt a policy of no-snitching within the same institute, all of which we know is not the case.

    Not a right winger or a left winger, but do continue rolling on the floor. ;)
