Black GOP Senator Talks About Being Pulled Over By Police 7 Times In One Year - GMDino - 07-14-2016 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tim-scott-pulled-over_us_5786bfffe4b08608d332eaa0?section= Quote:WASHINGTON ― In the course of one year as an elected official, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) was pulled over seven times by law enforcement. Another time, a Capitol Police officer demanded that Scott show him his ID because the special pin on Scott’s suit jacket ― a pin assigned to United States senators ― evidently wasn’t enough. RE: Black GOP Senator Talks About Being Pulled Over By Police 7 Times In One Year - Belsnickel - 07-14-2016 This is very interesting because it runs counter to something a lot of people like to say with regards to racism, and that is the prejudice is more about socioeconomic status than race. Which, to an extent, I absolutely agree with. But things like this show that it definitely is not just that. There is racial prejudice like this out there that we need to get sorted.

Lower socioeconomic status breeds crime. This is true. Some minorities are more likely to be a part of a lower socioeconomic group. So if I am going to discriminate, I am going to assume that a minority is more likely to commit a crime. The disconnect between socioeconomic status and minority status then occurs, and you're discriminating on the basis of their minority status under the assumption that minority status breeds the criminal element. Anecdote time. My friends and I have a group chat and we were discussing this whole race and police situation. My friend who is a middle class black man who works in education worries about what will happen if he is pulled over. He's not a criminal, he lives in a good area, he works with schools and camps, and he has friends who are cops. He still worries.

A black man in a crappy car is on his way to commit a crime, and a black man in a nice car obviously just committed the crime of stealing a nice car! Wasn't this addressed in an episode of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? RE: Black GOP Senator Talks About Being Pulled Over By Police 7 Times In One Year - JustWinBaby - 07-14-2016 Obviously profiling occurs...and while there's a lot of debate about it's merits clearly 7X in a year is excessive....and if you're going to profile, the majority of violent crimes are poor males 18-26 (and this applies to all races). Although maybe this isn't profiling but just being harassed not because he's African American but because he's a black Republican ![]() RE: Black GOP Senator Talks About Being Pulled Over By Police 7 Times In One Year - fredtoast - 07-14-2016 Maybe 7 times was not excessive. If I was a Senator I would drive 100 MPH everywhere I went. I may never get charged, but I bet I would still get pulled over a lot. And I an extra white.

This article cherry picks stats and spins them into a lie. The study they cited DOES show that cops are much more likely to use physical force and even draw their weapons more often with black suspects and white suspects. The study shows a clear racial bias on most level except actual shootings.

Not necessarily. The movement is about police misconduct as a whole. Also, the author of the study admitted that there is the issue in determining the bias in the actual stops themselves. What he means by that is that all reported burglaries are going to be responded to, so there's no racial bias in responding to calls like that. He says we cannot determine the proportion to which you are likely to get pulled over for one of these traffic stops of stop and frisks because cops are not reporting anytime they saw something that could potentially result in a traffic stop but chose not to press it. So if there is a nearly equal share in being shot by a cop in these non-threatening situations, is there an unequal share in that stop actually occurring.

The movement is about police misconduct as a whole. In theory, yes. But in practice they only respond to widely covered questionable cop killings. All these protests last week weren't because someone just got pulled over or beaten.

It's far easier to rally people behind killings. This doesn't mean that they aren't working on the broader issue they have with police day to day, you just only see what they do in response to killings.

Not really. Basically it proves that people who claim there is no racial bias by police are full of shit. |
