[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2717818, member: 5412"] I found the results were skewed. In a community where black citizens are 90% of the population and most are at poverty level or worse, of course they will be stopped more times that white people. There are very few white people there. So even if they used the stat that black citizens constitute 17% of the population, and should only be stopped in the percentage of the nationwide population vs the actual population of Ferguson, that would mean nobody would get stopped for anything or it would be a racist stop for speeding.
