Quote:You are correct, numbers don't lie. The analysis of those numbers can. For instance, stating that because police brutality against blacks is on a down trend means that the problem is not that important anymore would be a falsity.


The issue is still important, and is pervasive enough that it occurs through the country on a regular basis...

 

Regular basis compared to where? Europe? What parts of Europe? China? Canada? India? Russia? South America? Mexico? Crime statistics have decreased by nearly half in most categories in the United States over the past 25 years. Crime statistics are still relatively high (amongst minorities, white crime in the US is proportionate with white crime in Europe) compared to most parts of Europe, but to say this happens on a regular basis is a definite overstatement. The media would have you believe it does, but...come on its the media. It is their job to further instigate the event and make a quick buck on the shockwave it creates.
