NBC Chicago trumpets the story of supposed police oppression in true mainstream media style:
Blacks in Chicago are more likely to be subjected to a “stop and frisk” by police than any other race, a report by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois indicates.
The report, released Monday, also says officers in the Second City used the controversial technique far more often than did officers in New York City.
The ACLU said Chicago officers last summer conducted more than 250,000 stops of people who weren’t arrested. The ACLU also said that almost three-fourths of those stopped were African American, though they make up about a third of the city’s population.
The report based on police department data found that the practice was employed at a rate that was four times as high as New York “at the height” of officers’ use of the practice there.
Here’s a graphic from the report, which, we might add, features a “Hands up, Don’t shoot” graphic within…:
Do we have any demographic information on the race of those involved in homicides?
Oh, but wait! We do. It’s at HeyJackass.com.
Does the ACLU study mention that blacks in the community commit a disproportionate number of crimes towards their fellow blacks? It doesn’t. None that we noticed.
In fact, for the month of January at HeyJackass, it was particularly skewed, with black being identified in 100% of the homicides where the race of the suspected killer was recorded:
Second City Cop nails it:
[The racial demographic above is] a tough one to swallow right there for the ACLU – race of attacker and race of victim – and that’s just counting the homicides. We’re willing to bet the maimings/woundings are similar and the armed robberies and more than a few other crimes. By whatever metric you use, Black criminals are victimizing Black citizens at a rate far outweighing their supposed “minority” status. It ain’t the police doing it. The police are trying to stop it, solve it, prevent it.
So yet another bullshit, slanted, slanderous study that points the finger directly at the police, and the ACLU thinks more “oversight” and “checkboxes” and Consent Decrees will solve everything, all while blood fills the gutters.
I see a way of fixing this. Start arresting more of those that are stopped.
