I feel like you're arguing with a point that was never made, but, technically, even "slightly more" is more.
You can bring up topic/ask question/ direct conversation anyway you like. What do you want to discuss about violent crime?
I thought part of your argument about over policing had to do with drug use/sale by whites being higher yet blacks are incarcerated more. I was pointing out that drug use wasn't really higher based on links your provided. And it was spin in the article.
This is what is was originally asking about:
Is there data on this that indicates this "design"? If so why do you suppose it's this way?
It would seem to me an area with higher violent crime rates warrant more policing.
There are many neighborhoods I can walk around at night with little worry and there are neighborhoods I would never walk around at night in.
It seems to make better sense to focus police in areas with higher crimes rates.
I am interested in yours or another view on this.
I don't think I agree much with what you're saying, but I believe I could be just plain naive about it. I live in the San Francisco Bay area and have spent plenty of time in "minority neighborhoods" both affluent and poor, white, black, Hispanics and Asian.
