Cop in America doing a bad job, again

While you guys jerk each other off over your reasonableness, let me interject. I absolutely have an agenda, I've never denied it. I dont trust anyone who sees the incredible amount of monstrous police crimes and doesnt have an agenda.

Interjecting on two guys jerking each other off just seems rude.

Sorry for not showing you the attention you crave for a moment while talking to someone else. Spotlight is back on you now, carry on fella :)

You and ivaldo made this about me, I just wanted to talk about 20% of cops being outed as violent racists.

Just like the last “10%” stat you posted, it’s somewhat misleading as a statistic since they didn’t actually take information from every cop. If I think racism is bad? Yes eboue racism is bad.

And again, you don’t want to talk. I’ve offered thoughts before and you just then use it condescendingly from then on with posts like “maybe they just need more training hue hue hue”

It's called sampling. Just like how polls dont call every single voter.
 
A 2018 YouGov/Economist poll found that 17% of Americans oppose interracial marriage, with 19% of "other" ethnic groups, 18% of blacks, 17% of whites, and 15% of Hispanics opposing.
If we can agree that opposing interracial marriage is a typical warning sign of racism, then the police are within the margin of error of the national average here.

ok that's extremely racist but what's the percentage of cops who don't understand how stats work

also the police being only as racist as the rest of the population, in a country as racist as America, isn't exactly a win

1) I don’t know. Do you?

2) Okay. Context is valuable though.

It’s not “sampling” when the tweet you posted (which has since been deleted, wonder why) said the numbers reflected 10% of all current officers, when he didn’t realize the numbers were actually taken over a 10 year period. His math was also questioned in the twitter thread.

@Silva can read that too in case he was trying to refer to me in his cops and stats comment :)

Oh snap
 
thats a different article fella.



they probably just need more training



The Plain View Project, launched by Philadelphia lawyer Emily Baker-White, examined the accounts of about 2,900 officers from eight departments across the country and an additional 600 retired officers from those same departments. She compiled posts that represented troubling conduct in a database that is replete with racist imagery and memes, and in some cases long, vitriolic exchanges involving multiple officers.


Of the pages of officers whom the Plain View researchers could positively identify, about 1 in 5 of the current officers, and 2 in 5 of the retired officers, made public posts or comments that met that threshold

The Plain View Project used department rosters to search for Facebook pages for every officer in Phoenix; St. Louis; Philadelphia; Dallas; York, Pennsylvania; Twin Falls, Idaho; Denison, Texas; and Lake County, Florida. The locations were chosen to achieve a range of geography and size.

yeah, long term studies are famous for sucking
 
thats a different article fella.

Which is why I said “the last 10% article”.

This one has approximate 500 posts from approximately 3000 officers which is all the could recognize on social media from the approximately 14500 officers employed by the departments they looked at in 8 cities or states which met a threshold that only had to include bias...and that’s enough to allege 20% of all officers across the country.

So the other 747,000 to 847,000 officers are painted by the same brush because of that huge undertaking of research.

just wait till you hear about sample sizes
 
this is a very stupid discussion where you try and discredit the study based on misunderstanding how sample sizes work and when that doesnt work by trying to discredit the source because they sometimes write about celebrities? its a waste of everyone's time because youre not open to considering the conclusions
 
if an article came out exposing that a significant portion of [whatever it is i do] were violent racists i wouldnt say "8.5% is not 10%" or quibble about which publication posted the article. i would say "wow thats terrible"

I already said racism was bad and racists are bad people.

You decided to Start that conversation with “have fun clocking in every day surrounded by violent racists”

And for you to sit there and accuse someone of not being open to other conclusions after your showing in here is quite good. I hope you said that with a straight face for the best delivery.

And also if an article came out saying 10% of whoever did whatever you did were violent racists, I’d also say that’s terrible.

If I were playing your role though, I’d then call you scum, tell you that you were also a violent racist and a liar, and ask what you’d done to fix it. You haven’t fixed it? Then you’re part of the problem.
