Wow all that really? Perhaps if you showed the other side of the
statics they'd make since. If blacks are in jail 8 times more then
whites its because they are comiting 8 times more crimes, as for why
they are shot more often by police, Thats because they dont drop their
weapon when they are hopelessly surrounded but have this crazy idea
that becuase they may have killed a few people around their
neighboorhood with their little 9mm they can take on a whole police
forced armmed with .45s and shotguns.

Heres a little true story taken from a magazine a few years ago. Not
ment to be racist, just shows a little of their mentality. A officer
was in prosuite of a BMW M-3 with a black man driving, after the BMW
tired to out run the officers carpice without any luck the BMW tired to
sideswipe the carpice and knock it off the road, well the BMW sped up
and ramed the side of the carpice, the carpice never left its lane but
the force knocked the BMW off the road and ripped it into tiny little
pieces with the driver having minor injurys. Well common sense is going
to tell you that a car larger then yours isnt going to budge with side
swipped like that, and the police wouldnt be using a car if it wasnt
fast.
