No, that conclusion is not at all what it means. It means they have a higher chance of being caught... Again, white collar crime vs blue... It shows higher scrutiny, not higher crime rate. We all commit crime, be it speeding or pot or under age drinking. We have all done some crime in our lives. The data shows the prepotency in catching people, not crimes committed.

i should have specified violent crime, when discussion police shootings white collar crime is largely irrelevant because that banker committing mortgage fraud isn't the same potentially immediate threat as the guy holding up the 7/11 with a gun. we treat the crimes differently to some extent because they are different.

#whitelivesmatter
an interesting question would the BLM crowd and their supports agree with a #menslivesmatter?
Again, you are assuming violent crime means in the act of committing a crime. Violent crime is not synonymous with violent arrest. In fact, much of violent crime are crimes of passion towards the victim. Even in violent crime, a violent arrest is unlikely.
Then, as you said in the differance, consider what financial bracket the white and blue collar crime is. A blue collar worker doesn't have access to skim thousands from bank accounts... They have a gun and a register...

Honestly, murican cops should resign, lets see how well they handle not having anyone to enforce the order
Generally they have more dealings with criminals than innocents. Police don't get calls to investigate a house that wasn't robbed.
https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s...decoverviewpdfNumber of arrests, does not show number of crimes committed. Those statistics are not what people are claiming they are.
It would be better if BLM were ALM.
That said the problem lies with the apathy of poor whites, latinos and other groups that get victimized by the police, not BLM. Blaming the racial group that got off its fat arse and did something about state executions makes no sense.
The majority of crime happens in small areas within the larger confines of a jurisdiction. This means that the even the witnesses and victims are more likely to be criminals themselves. Police officers deal with a much higher percentage of criminals than what is measured in the general population.
Aren't there also more white people than any other race in America though? So it's kinda like saying why are 5 million dyimg of cancer in America when it's only 10k in Denmark.
Or am I missing something here?
Do you think those rioters and demonstrators give a flying shit about truth and facts? They are just scums of the society and should all be executed.
