Possibly three, when you're dealing with a gang as vicious, delusional, corrupt, and staggeringly incompetent as the DEA.So now instead of your business needing two sets of books, you need two sets of cameras?

And he told the people in the church, "You are raping our women and taking over our country, so I have to kill all of you," according to a survivor.He shot up a black church, but people are still going "let's not make this about race."
If that doesn't qualify as a race issue, then what the fuck does?
Yeah...I mean, mind you, of course this is a race issue and a hate crime. The picture of his arrest, though? He...threw down his weapon and surrendered. I don't know the guy "selling cigarettes", but I'm guessing he didn't.Every arrest is equal. No matter if they resist or not. Lets choke them all to death. So they all can be equal to the vision of a few.
Eric Garner, the "I Can't Breathe" guy. He was put in a chokehold and pinned to the ground until he died. Officially the six plainclothes officers were questioning him about selling loose cigarettes.Yeah...I mean, mind you, of course this is a race issue and a hate crime.

Kind of says it all, doesn't it?Ah. Sorry, I know this is a fairly horrible thing to say, but there's too many black guys getting savagely beaten up, violently arrested and "accidentally" killed by white cops in the US these days, I can't keep them apart at all anymore.
Perspective
Well, there sure seems to be a lot of handwringing about how apparently racism is the worst it's ever been since slavery because of this mass murder, and I just thought some people might want to know that such things are still, in fact, statistical outliers.Take a wild guess about how many people are concerned with perspective at the moment? (I'm not saying you're wrong).
Why is it per 1000000 members of the murderer's race? Seems like it should be framed around the victims instead. And you would still get a healthy dose of perspective, I think. The same-race columns wouldn't change, for example.Perspective
Because it's trying to present the data as a function of racism, as fallacious as that might seem at first glance. To display tendencies of two groups, an equivalent scale is needed.Why is it per 1000000 members of the murderer's race? Seems like it should be framed around the victims instead.

Those aren't the cultures involved in the current racism debate.Agreed with more numbers needed. Deaths per year each category. And where are the "other" races there? Even if you say "white" means all of European decent except Spain, that still leaves middle East, Asia, and Hispanic at the least. Where are those?
Yeah, but if you have a majority race (like white people) then a large number of them don't need to act on it. They can let a small percentage of the population do the dirty work, so to speak. If you have 99 people for every one [insert ethnic group here], for example, you only need 1% of the population to kill another 1% for it to be total genocide.Because it's trying to present the data as a function of racism, as fallacious as that might seem at first glance.

It's showing that any given white person, as a percentage of all white people, is far less likely to be someone who kills a black person than someone who kills a white person by a factor of 10 to 1. Black on black murder also outnumbers black on white murder 5 to 1. Black people are murderers of white people and vice versa at about the same rate per capita.
Here are totals for 2011 from the FBI.Yeah, but if you have a majority race (like white people) then a large number of them don't need to act on it.

This. What's more important, how likely I am to kill due to race (which is what you get by normalizing to the murderer's race) or how likely I am to be killed due to race?Why is it per 1000000 members of the murderer's race?

Well, that's the main point of the thread, yes, but not why I posted that picture... I posted the picture in response to common reactions from the church shooting, especially the Jon Stewart piece that Nick linked. There's a narrative in the media which would have us believe that racially motivated violence is rampant (especially white-on-black), and violent crime in general is on the rise - where the fact is, racially motivated violence is comparatively rare (especially white on black), and violent crime in general has been trending downward since 1990 - and murder has followed that trend.This. What's more important, how likely I am to kill due to race (which is what you get by normalizing to the murderer's race) or how likely I am to be killed due to race?
Still, these raw numbers don't tell much in the current debate, do they? Yes, you have a lot of killings each year. Yes, most of them aren't race motivated. What would it look like if you could break down that into a few categories (I don't know which ones that would be)? What about establishing some correlation (unfeasible in practice) between how many people of a race you see each day and how likely are you to kill them or be killed by them (because this surely biases a lot that data you show)? What about people killed by police (which is the main motivator of all this isn't it?)?
Well obviously, assuming they're not being reported as murders or assaults, then they wouldn't be on charts tracking murders and assaults. Since you asked, I tried tracking down trend charts for it, but it's a little trickier to come by. I managed to find, however, in this piece by the Indy Star, a graph of "justifiable homicide involving the killing of a suspected felon by law enforcement" but with a caveat that the data is incomplete because not all agencies report data. It also doesn't do a breakdown by race.Are your charts taking into account police-on-minority violence, which isn't reported as murders or assaults, and is defacto white-on-whatever violence?
Uhm. Yeah sorry I don't buy what that guy is saying at all. Oh the COC may have lots of gang members show up at it BUT I SWEAR IT IS NOT A GANG THING and the violence was totally unrelated to our organization which brought together a bunch of gangs. Sorry. You have an organization filled with gang members and you take zero responsibility with it erupting in violence?Just a little more information on the Waco Shooting.

Didn't hear about it, and all the new york news is being drowned by the capture of the second escaped inmate.Police shoot an unarmed suspect in the back, in upstate New York. And no one is here to complain about it?
Exactly.Didn't hear about it, and all the new york news is being drowned by the capture of the second escaped inmate.
Yeah, I mean they shot a suspected escaped murderer in the back...Exactly.
Ahh, threw me off because, technically, he is not a "suspect" any more, he is a convict.Exactly.
If you do not have a positive ID on the person he is a suspect.Ahh, threw me off because, technically, he is not a "suspect" any more, he is a convict.
