I think the statistics are incredibly misleading for the general public. Traffic stops, citations and arrests aren't supposed to be a random population sample. You must have a traffic violation or probable cause to pull someone over. You must have a warrant or probable cause to make an arrest. An officer on patrol isn't consulting his race tally sheet "need to find a whitey to break even". He or she should be simply acting on the violations he or shesees. Surprise surprise certain areas yield a great deal of traffic violations and arrests. Some areas do not. Furthermore high crime areas should and do recieve extra attention, using traffic violations to make contact with potentially more serious offenses. I guess I don't have to point out that high crime areas tend to be minority communities. Police departments are (rightfully) heavily criticized for ignoring those areas. I'm not saying they weren't doing wrong. It certainly sounds like, after reading the report, they have some absolute idiots working there. I am saying that using traffic stop statistics could make any department that is doing the right thing look bad and any department using a chicken shit ignore crime in high crime areas policy look competent.
Where’s the mainstream media now? Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart, who filled in for Hardball’s Chris Matthews Thursday night, said he’s been called a “house negro†for speaking out against the “hands up don’t shoot†lie.“After my piece, ‘Hands up don’t shoot was built on a lie,’ folks used Twitter and Facebook to dismember my personhood,†he continued. “Fellow African-Americans called me a ‘sellout’ or a ‘house negro.’ Others said I did it because I wanted ‘white peopleto like me’ or that I ‘did it for the money.’ No, I didn’t. I did it because it was the right thing to do.â€

Am I the only one that thinks that looks extremely odd? From the tape, to the guy running off, to the cop completely ignoring at all times a dude standing there taping? If he is pulled over for a traffic stop, where is the car?I am not saying it is fake, but something looks really weird about that whole video tape...
You should be out solving a case
Shit solved. Marshall County owes me 2 cleared homicides.
Columbo everyone...
I don't ever really ask questions. I slander, assassinate characters, throw around a lot of accusatory comments and black out once or twice from blind rage. That generally gets the job done. Either way, somebody owes me some cleared cases.
I'm sure it's not the entire tape. I think the guy tried to run, and it appeared as though there was a struggle over the officer's taser. But still, that guy was 30 feet away and he is still shooting. Chase him and put some mitts on him? Maybe. Shoot him in the back multiple times as he's running away? Fuck no.
