Please just jump off the bandwagon, for the millionth time there's obviously more black people getting inspected and arrested if the whole town population is pretty much black.

I've actually re-looked at the statistics Kman provided on this, and I belive that Dogfood's statement in this is flawed:

If we're accounting the correlation between population ratios into the reasoning of these percentages, then the black population would be much MUCH higher than 60%. However it is not which means putting the reason of "more back people being arrested" being population ratio is flawed.

It would be more understandable is simply the fact of the matter was that black people simply committed more crimes than whites, but a very important piece of data debunks this:

1 in 3 white people carry contraband
1 in 5 black people carry contraband

This shows that despite white people being more guilty overall in these investigations, more than 80% of black people still take up the investigations.

I cannot say that this could not be grounded in racism.

according to the police it was an act of self defense which in all honestly I believe. He was there with his "homies" buddies who identified themselves as witnesses and backed up his buddy.

It is equally possible that it has worked the other way around. With varying stories on both sides, it is almost impossible to understand what really happened.
