Is anyone supprised?
I imagine there are at least some Adams voters out there who thought a “law and order” candidate would be totally different this time because he was black
But the truth is ACAB.
Probably should have voted based on the content of his character. Never mind they’ll have another chance to do that in four years time. Although having said that he might be up against someone whose character is even worse.
He’s gonna get reelected. He’s got a Trump-like hold over a voting bloc big enough to win the primary.

me. like obviously I knew this was a problem but I expected to be maybe 50% of stops being white, so would still be vastly over-representing minorities but 95% is mind boggling.
So math time. NYC has a 41% white demographic.
If all 5% white people stopped were legit stops, my calculator says only 12.19% of the stops were legitimate.
Oh boy amateur racial crime stats
Yes.
This doesn’t seem like a bestness of fit test. What type of statistical test did you run?

So only 7.56% of all police stops of non-white people were legit? (10.05+x0.95=.1219, x=0.0756)
Holy shit, looks like some people LIKE to get race-baited. They ACTIVELY look for reasons to be baited.
First off the demographics of NYC: 39% White, 23% Black, 27% Hispanic, 13% Asian.
Secondly, the demographics for the NY Police Force: There are MORE minority Police Officers (11,700) than there are white ones (10,500). There are almost as many minority Detectives (2,200) as there are white ones (2,900).
Lastly, do we have to remind everyone who the mayor of NYC is? Newsflash, it’s this guy: https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2021/11/02/ap_21299839634856-15de819fbdc2d00eb39794e510225e27a5f60ec3-s1600-c85.webp
But with ALLLLL that, the first thing that people do is jump to the “It’S aLL RaCiSm!1!!!”.
You people need to go outside more. You are talking about one of the most diverse cities in the country, with one of the smallest populations of white people, with a police department that is made up of a majority of minority groups and a black mayor. And with all that, you immediately jump to the bullshit that racism is at place.
Racism is a systematic issue. It doesn’t just manifest near white skin
Yes, the black mayor has told the black police officers to be racist against black people. Yup. That sure makes a whole ton of sense!1!! /s
You do realize you’re getting angry at an argument no one is claiming, right?
They’re the only arguments conservatives can win…
Were you born this stupid, or do you just drink a lot of lead paint?
I read a lot of the idiotic responses in this thread and it made my head hurt from the race-baited stupidity.
You’re so not racist that you circled around and became racist. Minorities can be racist. The mayor being a black man doesn’t mean racism is dead you walnut. FFS has everyone forgotten NWA??
The minority officers are being racist against their own people. In your warped perception of the world that’s clearly is what is happening here.
Yes, its pretty standard tactics at this point (sadly) give a couple of the minority you dont like the promise to treat them better if they come to your side so you can use them as a political piece. This is why Caitlyn Jenner has her neiche being the anti-trans trans woman on fox news.
Caitlyn Jenner should be in jail for manslaughter. But reasons.
Do tell us why white people have been stopped significantly far less than non-white people. Are non-white people just natural criminals?

The minority officers are being rAcIsT against their own kind, I guess.
Please answer my question. You’re blatantly avoiding it. It’s not a good look.
It’s racism… the black cops and black mayor are being racist against black citizens. That’s what you want to hear. Clearly. That can be the ONLY answer, right?
