[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 3567869, member: 6668"] That's the reason I used arrests for violent crimes, not petty crimes and tickets. I've seen some evidence that the 'driving while black' thing happens. I don't think it's as pervasive or necessarily as simple as depicted though. Context matters. I suppose you could still argue that blacks are arrested for violent crimes in instances where whites would not have been. But I don't think that's the case on any significant basis. I'm softening on QI somewhat. I don't think it should be wiped out and allow individual cops to be sued. Maybe the the employer, in certain instances. There has to be a valve of some type in place or this could turn into a ridiculous farce of lawsuits and waste of resources. I assume your "tazing them to death with a bullet" refers to Daunte Wright. This is an example of what I was talking about. Perfect judgment and execution demanded in a split second. Based on the video, I don't believe anyone that says more than a mistake was made is being honest. Or they are are SO biased they are blind. Should ALL resistance result in immediate stand down unless the cop is in immediate peril? Do you see that as workable? Do you think it would take 5 seconds before every arrest involved resistance? Hypothetically, what would have happened if Daunte was allowed to take off in his car, but then hit a tree, ejecting and killing his girlfriend. Would the family's attorney sue? Would they win, since the cop had the opportunity to prevent it? So someone calls 911 because of a mental health crisis and you want to send, I assume, unarmed social workers to handle it? I'm going to pass on that job. [/QUOTE]
