Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
Quote:
In terms of data I'm sorry it is just not true here is some peer reviewed papers for you to help you better understand what is going on: https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...111/lasr.12366 https://ajph.aphapublications.org/do...PH.2018.304559 There is a significant gap in training in police forces. Especially when it comes to mental health and social emotional disabilities both of which impact African Americans at a higher rate. Going further African Americans males receive longer sentences than white males for the same crime (https://www.ussc.gov/research/resear...ces-sentencing) This leads to likely increases in recidivism leading to increased police interactions. For the record I am not anti-police as with any profession that vast majority are honest and hardworking people. That does not mean that they handle situations appropriately. We have as a society decided not to fund and properly train our police compared to other developed countries. |
