If police officers are more likely to stop a black person, then yes, black people will be caught doing more crimes than other groups.
That doesn't say that other groups don't commit just as many crimes, it means that they get caught less frequently because they're not black (and therefore not stopped as often).
I expect to see such a foolish argument on t_d, not HN.
- anon12345690 7y agowhy are they more likely? beacuse that group commits more crimes? cops stop people in some neighborhoods more often too because those places have more crime. its just facts. getting caught less frequently? you mean because of committing less crimes? the same data shows up even when the police officers are black.
