Blijkbaar is de uitspraak van een BLM oprichter van jaren terug wel heel belangrijk als we zien vaak deze hier wel niet gebruikt wordt hier om alles marxcistisch te maken. Dus waar is de populistische consistentie in de logica die je hier probeert te verklaren.

Hypocriet is huilen en tieren als iemand iets doet/zegt wat niet in je straatje past, maar wel roepen om context als het iemand is wiens mening overeenkomt met die van jou. Of het nou het doodrijden van demonstranten is door iemand die zwart blijkt te zijn, of de #metoo van Joe Biden.

Systemic Racial Bias in the Criminal Justice System Is Not a Myth

It’s easy to refute the assertion that there is no systemic racial bias at all. Considerable evidence points to some degree of racial bias across nearly every aspect of the criminal justice system. Consider just a few examples: compared to whites, blacks are significantly more likely to be searched after traffic stops but less likely to turn up contraband or weapons; not to be told why they were pulled over; to be ticketed for jaywalking; to be treated with less respect by officers; to be arrested for low-level offenses; to be wrongfully convicted of murder, sexual assault, and drug crimes; to be offered plea bargains that include jail time; to serve life without parole for nonviolent offenses; to receive longer sentences for the same crime; to be incarcerated while awaiting trial; to have probation revoked; to be assigned higher bail amounts for the same crimes; and so on. Consider, in addition, that blacks are significantly underrepresented among prosecutors (95 percent of elected prosecutors and 85 percent of lawyers are white); more than a third of states have never seated a black state supreme court justice; and black judges have a higher likelihood of being overruled than their white counterparts. This is just a fraction of the research on the topic (see more than 300 research studies that are listed here and here, for example).

Given the history of racism in America, these shouldn’t be seen as mere disparities. Disparity by itself doesn’t imply bias, but these differences aren’t the outgrowth of a system that originated on some level playing field. Rather, our criminal justice system from the beginning has produced and sustained disadvantages for African Americans. This bias is systemic in the sense that it is perpetuated primarily by structures such as policies, codes, norms, laws, and organizations across the criminal justice system. Systemic racism means you can have “racism without racists.”

In what follows, I first clarify some confusions surrounding the term “systemic racism.” Next, returning to the Wall Street Journal article by Heather Mac Donald that I mentioned at the beginning, which focuses on fatal police officer-involved shootings, I show that the key claims on which it rests (besides botched calculations) are not empirically supported: (1) the studies it cites as evidence against systemic racial bias do not withstand scrutiny; and (2) the claim that blacks’ higher crime rates explain racial disparities is not supported either. I conclude by considering how systemic biases in police shootings can be produced by other mechanisms besides racist intent.

The bystander video of the shooting, which was taken from a distance, did not capture the man’s actions, though a number of people have insisted he was sleeping or unarmed.

“They put the gun on his head like this and they’re still telling him not to move, to get his hand off a gun he don’t have, and then they shot him again,” Steven Merry, who said he was a friend of the man and reportedly has video of the incident, told KSAZ. “They made sure he was dead.”

BLM Toronto leader believes white people are sub-human, calls them 'genetic defects'

A social media post has resurfaced from a Black Lives Matter Toronto co-founder in which she apparently argues that white people are “sub-human” and are “recessive genetic defects.”

Yusra Khogali wrote the post on what appears to be her Facebook and attempted to use a genetic explanation involving melanin production to explain why white people are “defects.” It has now gone viral after it was shared by scholar James Lindsay.

quote:

“Whiteness is not humxness,” reads the statement. “in fact, white skin is sub-humxn.”

“White ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual,” the post later says. “white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.”

She adds, "melanin directly communicates with cosmic energy."

There have been 38 murders over the last 28 days, twice as much as the same period last year, according to NYPD stats as of up to June 14. So far this year, there have been 159 murders, which is 25% higher than last year, the stats show.

This year's murder count is on par with New York's murder total five years ago and is well below the elevated murder totals of the decades before that, NYPD data shows.

What does it mean to defund the police?

Defunding the police does not necessarily mean getting rid of the police altogether. Rather, it would mean reducing police budgets and reallocating those funds to crucial and oft-neglected areas like education, public health, housing, and youth services. (Some activists want to abolish the police altogether; defunding is a separate but connected cause.) It’s predicated on the belief that investing in communities would act as a better deterrent to crime by directly addressing societal problems like poverty, mental illness, and homelessness — issues that advocates say police are poorly equipped to handle, and yet are often tasked with. According to some estimates, law enforcement spends 21 percent of its time responding to and transporting people with mental illnesses. Police are also frequently dispatched to deal with people experiencing homelessness, causing them to be incarcerated at a disproportionate rate.

quote:

Homicides rose nationally in the aftermath of the unrest ignited by the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. It went up 15 to 20 percent in the largest cities before subsiding again after two years, Mr. Rosenfeld said. When discontent with the police ran high, people were less likely to call them, deciding to settle matters themselves and driving violence up, he said.

“There is every reason to believe that we will see an increase in homicides and other violent crimes associated with the current unrest,” he said.

quote:

Some of those neighborhoods are now seeing an influx of officers deployed as part of the police department’s annual Summer All Out strategy, in which officers in desk jobs and other duties are redeployed to the street to discourage violence.

About 300 officers have been sent this year to neighborhoods like East Harlem in Manhattan, Mott Haven in the Bronx, East New York in Brooklyn and Jamaica in Queens. Those neighborhoods struggle with conflicts between crews and gangs that police say fuel half of the shootings in the city.

So far this year, police have solved just 28 percent of shootings with an arrest, Chief LiPetri said, even though that proportion is normally around half.

Often, investigators know who is responsible for a shooting but lack sufficient evidence to make an arrest. Victims often refuse to cooperate with police investigations, and witnesses are afraid of retaliation if they come forward.

Dat weten ze hier ook wel, want dat is al 23 keer uitgelegd. Het is alleen veel leuker om er een karikatuur van te maken om er daarna lekker de spot mee te drijven. Niet alleen leuker, maar ook veel makkelijker: je hoeft het dan ook niet meer te hebben over de fundamentele problemen van het politieapparaat aldaar, en hoe je de noodzakelijke hervorming daarvan het beste aan kan pakken.

Die act begint ondertussen aardig vermoeiend te worden.
