You can't tell me RondoNumberNine looks older than 14 years old...
I wouldn't be able to offer even a bullsh*t defense for it. so ima let it go.
I just think there is a loss of innocence within certain demographics.
... and tho deplorable, the approach taken by those in law enforcement is logically sound.
Brace for c00ning.
No. Like many of the other issues brought up on this board it gets an economic issue as much or more than it is a race issue.
I think the evidence shows(pretty clearly) that crime is more prevalent in poor economic conditions, so law enforcement focusing their attention on these areas seems logical... to me at least.
I also think that if you were a 'cigar cop'(stay with me) and 60-80% of cigar cases took place in a certain neighborhood, and by people wearing yellow hats.
I don't think human nature would allow you to not focus on that neighborhood, and regard people from that neighborhood wearing yellow hats without suspicion.
Bias towards them, IMHO happens naturally, not from any ... well let me stop there.

a lot of law enforcement problems would be solved if they were required to wear a camera 24/7 and the footage is automatically sent to a 3rd party firm that reviews the video

why he doesn't even own a pen, for shame!Ron Paul said he didn't write that though, somebody else published it under his name and he had no knowledge whatsoever of it.
not even if I use some fancy words and suggestive non-sequitur casuistry tough crowdThere is nothing civilly justifiable about using disparate and more deadly tactics against people because of their ethnicity. That is cowardice, discrimination and inequitable. The notion that it is "logically sound" to target certain groups is also irrelevant. For it is logically sound to kill all people who commit crime because said people are more likely to commit crime in the future. Yet somehow this isn't the status quo. Why? Because it's civilly unjustifiable.
Alright, so now what are we going to about it?

Again I don't think its racial, but rather a characteristic of youths raised in poor economic conditions.How are you defining innocence? We're talking about children here. There's a difference between innocence in the sense of ignorance, not knowing about the world and innocence in terms of actual moral culpability. Black kids might be forced to grow up faster, but their culpability is the same as other kids because they are physiologically and mentally children. That's something nothing can change but age.
Again I don't think its racial, but rather a characteristic of youths raised in poor economic conditions.
These youths, while innocent(ill concede that) pose adult threats, and are often far more volatile than adults...
My argument is in the approach of law enforcement itself. If crime is more prevalent in low income areas, is paying extra attention to those areas really that unfathomable or discriminatory?
@acri1 was absolutely correct that this approach creates highly inequitable numbers that further strengthen the approach(and bias) of law enforcement... but is the approach wrong(fundamentally flawed)? and if so how?
