Note to Melissa Harris-Perry

According to the Center for Constitutional Rights and the elite law firm of Covington and Burling, African-Americans in New York City commit 73% of all shootings but only comprise 53% of the stops. Contrast this with Caucasians who commit 2.5% of all shootings and who comprise 9% of the stops. I mean, I know that you're not necessarily interested in a fact-based analysis here but, dude, this data clearly shows that a) African-Americans are actually stopped at a rate that is LOWER than their violent crime rate, b) Caucasians are actually stopped at a rate that is HIGHER than their violent crime rate and c) while it obviously doesn't fit your template here, sometimes you really do have to accommodate what's already in your damned brain rather than assimilating the newer shit 24/7/ad infinitum.

And so, what's the analysis on why this is? Or has there not been an in depth study yet performed.

Will,you know better.....never let the facts get in the way of race baiting....next you'll be saying Sharpton isn't an upstanding American.

I just think that the racial profiling thing has been way overblown. Yes, it obviously happens but the data (hard data as opposed to anecdotes) seems to indicate that it is far from an epidemic.

And so Rusty, what exactly do you call that and how precisely does it help reduce tensions?

Inquiring minds want to know...
