Some of these are astounding. 1 and 4 are everything that is wrong with modern policing.

11. While riding with observers from the DoJ, a BPD sergeant ordered a patrolman to make something up in order to justify a stop.
I have no doubt that black residents commit more crimes that white residents (per capita). This is no way justifies pulling someone over or stopping them on the street because of their skin color. What it amounts to is policing race and that is wrong. That type of enforcement creates a distrust among minority communities against the very people that are charged with keeping those communities safe.
My opinion is that this happens because police are given quotas that they must meet. This has officers driving around looking for someone to arrest rather than responding to incidents.
Another reason could be the "broken windows" theory of policing. This gained a lot of credence because it is the policy used in NYC during the Giuliani mayorship. But crime was already on a steady downward trend when Giuliani came into office and I am not convinced it was his leadership or the tactics of his police department that made the difference there. I think it was like what happened in Iraq during the surge. The Sunni Awakening was already happening when the surge went into effect. While the surge helped it seems the Sunni Awakening was the main factor in violence going down in Iraq at that time.

It's cause darkies commit more crimes that they get stopped more. Or is it that they are caught more cause they are stopped more?
Anyhoo, they're only poor darkies so their constitutional rights don't matter. Each conviction represents one less vote for Hillary, right?
Applying statistics ratably over a population is a fools errand. The murder rate in the US is about 1 in 32,000. Now does that mean Bill Gates and a soldier in the Rollin 60's have an equal chance to be homicide victims? Of course not. Income, location, habits, acquaintances, etc. play a role. Saying blacks get arrested at a higher rate than their demographics is silly. It implies someone living in the rich part of Baltimore has an equal random chance to commit a crime or interact with a cop as someone selling drugs in the projects. Cops concentrate on high crime areas. High crime areas in large urban centers are predominantly populated by minorities. It stands to reason that cops spending time in heavy minority neighborhoods will have more interactions and arrests of minorities in excess of the demographics. Is that racism or just common sense?
Blacks are caught with less contraband because they can run faster than whites. While they are outrunning the fat cops loaded down with gear, they ditch their stuff along the way. It's pretty simple.Bro, the data covers this. They are talking about rates, not totals...1,000 blacks get pulled over vs 1,000 whites, and the blacks will get searched at a higher rate and they will be found to have less contraband. That is what the data is saying. It doesn't matter what the the demographic proportions are because they control for that.

Um bro that is exactly what I'm talking about. They are primarily being detained in high crime areas well known for trafficking. Of course they are going to be searched more. Of course they are searched at a higher rate than some soccer mom pulled over at a speed trap. No traffic stop is the same. I'm sure those cops are encountering frequent flyers on a daily basis. I don't see how they find anyone to do that job.
