The blacks & Hispanics problem COMMIT 87% of the crime.
Be calm Spuk... It's only the internet... Be calm.
My friend... I've heard it said.. "There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics." This statistic like everything else coming out NYC these are greatly skewed. For this statistic to be true the entire population of blacks and hispanics would have to be criminals. IMO The Bloomberg administration is skewing the stats to justify their actions.
87% of all crime is commited by Blacks and hispanics...Hmmm 87% of what crime? do these numbers include madicade frauad? Identity thefts? Bank fraud?, securities fraud? terrorist attempts?... How many pension systems have been ruined by young black and hispanics?.... how many people's life savings and retierment savings have been stolen by young blacks and hispanics?
Lets for argument sake say the statistic is correct. What is a crime in NY? A midemeanor or a felony is a crime. Walking around with a bag of pot in ones pocket is a V-I-O-L-A-T-I-O-N. Not a crime unless it is offered for sale, or in some way exposed to public view. So The NYPD has about 32,000 sworn officers. Some of them are assigned to crime prevention and suppression units like the street crime unit, the neighborhood stabilization units, anti crime units, street narcotics enforcement units, boro task forces, Pct conditions units... so in the big picture there are a whole lot of cops running around addressing crime. And where do you think the NYPD parks these units on a daily basis? Yep... in the black and hispanic neighborhoods for the most part. Now getting back to what is and what aint a crime... Every crime is reported to the NYPD on a form UF61. (now computer generated) Now with all these crime related officers doing their best to generate positive stats for themself, and the unit are out doing their thing. Discovering crimes that otherwise wouldnt exist, making 61's that otherwise wouldnt exist. So of course most of the 61's are from the minority communities. The crime will always be greatest where the bulk of the police are. Getting back to the pot in the pocket. If during a SQF an officer frisks a person of any background and feels the lump in the pocket, then orders the person to empty his or her pocket, and the person complies... the pot is open to public view... VIOLA!!! the violation becomes a misdemeanor, and a crime... The person is arrested, and carted off to jail, and given a fine that boosts the general fund of the City, and can pay for private detectives to harass gun dealers in other states...
Sorry for the rant...
