Black Crime Matters

A lot of attention is generated today when a black person dies in confrontation with police. I lived through the 1960's and remember the race riots, and war protests of the era. Particularly the 68 democratic convention and the murderous execution of 4 students by the National Guard at Kent State May 1970. The right to assembly ,free speech is uno in the Bill of Rights. It warms my heart to see the Bill of Rights played out still today. I sleep better knowing that everybody is watching. I am white Caucasian, honky, cracker etc What ever you may call my Scottish ancestry. The US Constitution does not condone those who loot, burn steal and property damage as part of protest. Nor do I have empathy for criminals who commit these crimes and those who became accessories as bystanders who did nothing to stop obvious crimes. You cannot hide behind injustice to commit other crimes. Certainly there is a lot of injustice today as we strive for a more perfect Union. There exists without question a disparity in Police actions with Black people. The voice I hear resonating is Blacks are more likely to encounter Police than others. Numbers are different for each demographic. This tells me that targeted Blacks are not guilty or less guilty than others. It means that other demographics should be held accountable by the same standard. If the racial balance in a Police jurisdiction is 70% white 20% Black 5% Latin and 5% Percent Asian then this balance should be upheld as a quota for Police to follow. Pull over 2 Black citizens for a broken tail light but not another Black accused of that crime until 7 whites 1 Latin and 1 Asian have also been targeted as Police Enforcement. When this happens the rage from other demographics will no doubt stop the process. The Cops should have less contact with people for petty crimes and just mail a letter with warning. If you ignore the warnings then expect trouble. This should free Police to focus on crimes in progress rather that driving without insurance, license or tags which is revenue harassment for the state and insurance titans. These laws should be enforced in accidents or reckless driving cases. With quotas in mind. Police have long had ticket quotas to follow which in turn pays salaries, allows more cops hired. I don't approve of these quotas but if done fairly without discrimination then I could live with the process. Criminals who are caught in a active investigation should not be given a pass get out of jail card because of race. Resisting arrest fighting with police or running, you should expect to encounter deadly force. If you've committed no crime then you have nothing to fear. I detest encounters with Police and feel NO justice can be expected on Police Authority. Only if accompanied by complete video of the body camera..I am certain that if demographic quotas are kept American people will be better off.,,,, PS send the bleeping illegals packing across the border and the sooner the better. Happy Trails to everyone Tom
