If this is true then I agree they should all go to jail. Did you know that, excluding homicides, in 2012 blacks committed 560,600 acts of violence against whites and whites committed 99,403 acts against blacks? Blacks, in other words, committed 85% of the interracial crimes of violence between blacks and whites even though they are less than 13 percent of the population. You don't hear about this on the liberal news. These facts are from the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics Data as opposed to internet bullsh+t sites.

The problem with stats like that is white crime is rarely called a crime.

Go put your head in the sand again. You sound like all the left wing liberals that won't accept the truth if it doesn't go along with their thinking. Eyes closed and couldn't find their nose with both hands.

Have you heard the name Ralph Elrod?
Does his face, pictured below, ring a bell? Have you seen his image anywhere at all? Have you heard his story? Did you see a hashtag about the war on police he waged?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are lying. His image is hard to find.

Ralph Elrod Jr., 57, was charged with fatally shooting two Peach County Sheriff deputies. (Police Photo)
What’s wild is that Ralph Elrod did something truly unthinkable. Like a sniper, he fired at least 50 shots at police in rural Georgia. He shot and killed two officers, Daryl Smallwood and Patrick Sondron, and attempted to shoot three more. In one November afternoon, he permanently devastated at least two families and ripped out the heart of the small local police department in Peach County, Georgia.
Georgia deputy killed, another wounded when responding to dispute
Here’s what I know:
If Ralph Elrod was a black man, you’d know him by now.
In fact, if a black man fired over 50 shots at police, he’d be dead. When police claimed that they thought they saw a gun with black men like Amadou Diallo and Sean Bell, who were actually unarmed, they fired almost 100 shots at them.
But if somehow, a black man fired over 50 shots at police, killed two officers, and narrowly missed killing three more, the Black Lives Matter movement would be blamed. I’d be blamed, President Obama would be blamed, and that black man would be the new poster child for the war on police.
KING: 3 white men shot 6 cops & 3 other white men are on trial
"It seems like the darker the shooter, the greater the outrage."
Instead, it’s hard to find a single leader who seems to give a crap about Ralph Elrod. On Wednesday, he was finally indicted and charged with “two counts of malice murder, two counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault and three counts of aggravated assault on three other officers.”
Yet, when I search for Ralph Elrod on Twitter, hardly a single soul has mentioned his name in over a month. Conservatives haven’t lobbied for justice online for Officers Smallwood and Sondron. No hashtags have been created like they did in response to the young man who was kidnapped and assaulted in Chicago. Elrod’s face hasn’t been memed and shared. His actions haven’t been blamed on a single soul.


The lack of fallout over what Ralph Elrod did typifies modern America. For all the love of law enforcement that we hear from conservative pundits and politicians, it seems like the darker the shooter, the greater the outrage. In this case, Elrod is pretty damn white, so the outrage is nearly non-existent, in spite of the fact that he fired more shots at police than almost any single incident the entire year.
I believe many people genuinely love law enforcement and the role they play in our nation. However, what the relative silence on this case tells me is that the majority of talking heads are simply using some incidents of violence against police as a political football. If they deeply and genuinely cared, they wouldn’t be ghosts right now on Ralph Elrod.

moldy: The problem with stats like you!......your getting real oldy and toady! If you are between the ages of 17 and 34 and happen to be a black male.....You commit 70% of all crime! This group makes up less than 2% of the population!......Something must give or open season on black bucks!

Fairness instead of bias would make a great difference.

Drug Sentencing Disparities
About 14 million Whites and 2.6 million African Americans report using an illicit drug
5 times as many Whites are using drugs as African Americans, yet African Americans are sent to prison for drug offenses at 10 times the rate of Whites
African Americans represent 12% of the total population of drug users, but 38% of those arrested for drug offenses, and 59% of those in state prison for a drug offense.
African Americans serve virtually as much time in prison for a drug offense (58.7 months) as whites do for a violent offense (61.7 months). (Sentencing Project)

There you go quoting fake news sites again which have gross agendas!

If it is not breibart or infowars it must be fake.

In this case (as in many others), I don't think race had as much to do with the light sentence as the fact that they were athletes.

moldyoldy

Partially true, but not in the country as a whole.

Stop blaming "the country" and "white people" for the light sentences that judges - who are individuals - give out. Judges are elected and if people paid as much attention to who they elect as judges as they do their president (who has VERY limited enumerated powers and for the most part will have a very limited impact on our individual communities compared to judges), this whole problem wouldn't exist. If social media has shown us anything, it is that people in this country - individual people - are as outraged about certain segments of society getting a pass in the judicial system as the people who identify with the victim. What you're doing doesn't help the situation and causes more animosity and division.

90 % of the people on OPP will not admit that there is bias, but you want me to ignore the bias. This country is and always has been biased.

Noraa Loc: Kansas

Oh? Where did you come up with that figure?

ldsuttonjr Loc: ShangriLa

moldy: Their is no bias!......These minorities have habitually broken the Rule of Law on too many occasions....that is where the bias come to play!

Unarmed people shot dead? that makes sense?

How about this one?
