That's actually a decent question. Nobody can give you the 100% true answer to that, but an estimate may suffice.

A lot of people get a thrill from running from the cops. I've known a lot of people that did from every race. In Colorado for example, there is way less cops than there is in Texas. The crime rate is also significantly lower. If certain things aren't illegal and aren't policed, then there is no profit. The cops actually make the criminals money. Without laws and police, a lot of criminals would be losing their profits and thus wouldn't be committing as much crime. That's capitalism. One form of it anyway.


That's why crime decreases when pot is legalized or decriminalized.

Police respond to violent acts from calls by the public, they don't find it more often with "increased policing". 

Does increased policing results in more traffic stops or drug arrests?  Yes.

“There’s no way to avoid this” says nation with the highest incarceration rate in the world.


We have more people in prison today than the Soviets did at the height of the gulags. Land of the free though because uhhhh free enterprise.

I just came here to look for anything about this.  So many “good guy with a gun” posts over the years, I’m curious about what the proponents of that line of thought have to say about this killing.  AFAIK, the NRA hasn’t addressed it yet.

Come on, we all know in practice that the second amendment is really for white people. The only gun problem these people see is black people with guns. I’ve never heard a single one of them argue that the black residents of Chicago have the right to their guns, even when they make the most extreme arguments for permissive gun laws for everyone else.

Literally in the birthright thread you have qman and TinyBee arguing that the founding fathers of the US Constitution only intended for it to apply to whites, so yeah.

Couldn't they see he was wearing a uniform?

Black people with guns is why CA has stricter gun laws than most states. They weren't fond of armed black panthers.

And some people argue 2A is there to keep the govt in line. I give them about a 30 second life expectancy if they decide to exercise that "right"

For what it's worth, they're probably right.  Racism was ubiquitous at the time.  It's unlikely that they ever envisioned a world where people of color are their equals.

I thought they were talking about the 14th though.  Certainly the implications of the 14th amendment with regard to people of color would have been well understood in its time.

Sure and I don't dispute that, but using historical racism as an argument for how the laws of today should be interpreted makes little room for dodging claims of wishing to preserve institutional racism.

Institutional racism is a form of racism expressed in the practice of social and political institutions.

Like writing immigration law with the intent that it will only benefit white people.

A nation can use whatever metric it wants to accept or decline immigrants.  That's the whole point of having national borders, sovereignty and citizenship. 

I don't know why some people think it's some sort of free for all that doesn't discriminate based on many different factors.
