I mean you responded to my comment that specifically focused on the contents of a YouTube channel. It's not too surprising that I am suggesting you go watch the content my post was speaking about.
You are disagreeing with my post without even having reviewed the content my post was citing and speaking about.
- alienthrowaway 5y agoThe anecdotal content you cited is irrelevant because your falsifiable statement (that I quoted) is false - unless you feel like only the black people interviewed on that channel matter. Additional facts, independent to the alleged opinions of the interviewees: NYPD's Stop and frisk was ruled unconstitutional[1] as it violated the 4th amendment.In 1999 9 out of 10 people who were stopped were completely innocent. 84% of those stopped were black or latino[1] (yet they were only 50% of the population on New York then). Both percentages slid down a little over the years, but in each subsequent year, the majority of stopped people were innocent, and black & latinos were consistently over-represented (against relative populations size). 1. https://civilrights.org/edfund/resource/nypds-infamous-stop-and-frisk-policy-found-unconstitutional/ https://civilrights.org/edfund/resource/nypds-infamous-stop-...
- Fogest 5y agoI really have never said I agree with something like stop and frisk so I am a bit unclear where you are going with this? I have been talking about perceptions of police in these communities not their opinions on one old police program that no longer exists.
