The only OTHER race is white people and they are not the target of racial profiling or police brutality.

Do you want me to quote you?

Nah I know what I said. And the specific line I quoted is wrong. You said something like "police brutality isn't happening to other races." Could have been a douche move on my part because you didn't expound too much on that line, but hey, I'm a douche.

I dunno if Namelesl is right or not, but if he is he's just saying more white people have been killed by police, because they are the majority, there's more of them. The killing of minorities is statistically higher because it's a smaller group.

He is wrong and that actually statistically does not make any sense. White people are not the target of police brutality (despite being the majority) They are not racially profiled or stereotyped so how could they possibly be killed off more than minorities?

This assumption does not reflect the statistics.

Also,

Police Brutality vs. Being killed by the Police are two different things

What do you all think of making cameras mandatory on the uniforms of police officers?

New Publication Available: The Effect of Body-Worn Cameras on Police Use-of-Force | Police Foundation

Quote:

Police Foundation Executive Fellow, Chief Tony Farrar, recently completed an extensive yearlong study to evaluate the effect of body-worn video cameras on police use-of-force. This randomized controlled trail represents the first experimental evaluation of body-worn video cameras used in police patrol practices. Cameras were deployed to all patrol officers in the Rialto (CA) Police Department. Every police patrol shift during the 12-month period was assigned to experimental or control conditions.
Wearing cameras was associated with dramatic reductions in use-of-force and complaints against officers. The authors conclude:
"The findings suggest more than a 50% reduction in the total number of incidents of use-of-force compared to control-conditions, and nearly ten times more citizens’ complaints in the 12-months prior to the experiment."

So far, it seems to drastically reduce the amount of force that officers use. Not only that, but the rate at which citizens sent in complaints was ten times higher before the cameras in the study were implemented.

Because of the reptilian shape shifters on the dark side of the moon who control the Illuminati.

I think body cameras are the way to go on this, even though they have been shown to increase problems in some cases since people get pissed about being recorded. The whole right to privacy thing could complicate it though.

You can't just come in here and make outlandish claims and not expect for no one to challenge them lol.

You have to back your opinions up. Opriel just came with receipts that prove minorities are more racially profiled and targets of police brutality.

Can you please back your opinions with evidence?

Do you not know the meaning of the word proportions? I said it like 2 or 3 times. I am just trying to show you that this is a problem for all races though you seem to refuse to accept it.
