39. I know people will hate this

but police shooting by race might have something to do with this government data:

A 2012 study by the Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention revealed that in 2010 black youths committed six times more murders, three times more rapes, 10 times more robberies and three times more assaults than did their white counterparts.

Similar statistics were released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the “Uniform Crime Reports.” They determined, “In the year 2008, black youths, who make up 16% of the youth population, accounted for 52% of juvenile violent crime arrests, including 58% for homicide and 67% for robbery.” By contrast, the only categories where white youths surpassed blacks were in liquor law violations and driving under the influence.

1. santroy79 - That name stands out

This post was hidden by jury decision - and it's in his journal:

The FACTS, VERY CLEARLY, show that Darren Wilson committed no crime and only shot Michael Brown in self defense yet people are protesting over what? We need to pick our battles and this is a losing battle. Not any reasonable person would ever find Wilson guilty.

On Friday november 28th he dredged up video that had been circulating since August regarding the Michael Brown case -and was already posted at DU. He then tried to out 'liberal' MrScorpio - not gonna do it!

Two Thumbs Down on this one - from THAT one:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4255379
From the OP on that thread . . . that he gives two thumbs down -
If you support the idea of White America, you support those crimes. And on behalf of myself and my part-Shawnee spouse (there, friends, is an example of spiritual awesomeness), f*** anybody and everybody who is in favor of White Supremacy, or any other skin-color-based horses*** like that. "

The heellllllllllllllllllllll? How do you give THAT two thumbs down? Just sayin'.

Another anti immigrant post -
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=729169
The OP is regarding this: Deportation program targets felons but nets those without criminal records

Is this a joke?

U have to admit its a funny way to make a head line.

The fact they are here illegally means they are breaking the law and are criminals.

Hence should be deported.

However - alp came back and respectfully set him straight and he went away.


Trying to psyche out a solid liberal/progressive who SEES the truth about the demographics in this country:

Here's the the thread OP -

Black Children as Young as Kindergarteners Are Getting Hand-Cuffed and Arrested Across the US: [View all]

http://www.alternet.org/civil-liberties/black-children-young-kindergarteners-are-getting-hand-cuffed-and-arrested-across-us



Americans should take a long look in the mirror before criticizing other nations for human rights abuses. The law enforcement system in the United States ranks among the worst in the world in the cruel treatment meted out to its citizens. Even children in this country are not safe if they are black and unlucky enough to interact with the police. Of all the various ethnic and national groups in the United States, only black people have to worry that their child may be pushed through a glass window by officers of the law.

A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology demonstrated what black people have always known. Black children are dehumanized to such an extent that they aren’t perceived as children at all. They are assumed to be older, less innocent and inherently guilty of some wrong doing. Study co-author Matthew Jackson said, “With the average age overestimation for black boys exceeding four-and-a-half years, in some cases, black children may be viewed as adults when they are just 13 years old.” Two recent cases involving the New York City police department show the truth of these words and the perils black people face even in childhood.

Black girls are also at risk of police brutality, as a 15 year-old and a 16 year-old discovered in Brooklyn, New York on March 27, 2014. An altercation between police and a group of teens resulted in one of the unidentified girls being thrown to the ground and another being pushed through a window. There is video evidence of one of the girls with a very deep cut on her face. According to witnesses, the police were not content to push her through the glass and arrest her. They also delayed in providing her with needed medical attention.

“Javier Payne was already under arrest and handcuffed when a police officer shoved him through a store window.”

In the Bronx, New York on May 17, 2014, a 14 year-old boy was also pushed through a window by police and came close to death. As first reported by the Juvenile Justice Information Exchange, Javier Payne was already under arrest and handcuffed when a police officer shoved him through a store window too. The police added insult to his injuries when they did not notify EMS of a pediatric emergency, instead calling in the case as if Payne were a drunken derelict. When paramedics finally arrived on the scene they pleaded for Payne to be uncuffed so that they might provide appropriate treatment.

3. it has less to do with them being black


and more to do with them being from poor neighborhoods. Poor white & Spanish getting treated like crap also. Its just that a higher population of blacks come from these neighborhoods.

and lets not forget a lot of these kids come from awful families and are not raised correctly and are problem youths

Okay - that's all I'm posting. This goes in my journal. If Admin wants to Admin up and take care of the poster with more than 100 posts - they will.

But it's pretty clear - that DU - the Democratic Underground - which is supposed to draw from some key constituencies - has an interloper who has not one fuck to give about any of us. There are some interesting responsings to threads in HOF/Feminists etc. etc. too - but for example - redqueen was the OP of one. It's bad enough she's gone - I don't want to dredge that up when she's not here to put some well deserved butt hurt on someone.

2. There's a focus on race and not in a good way. nt

[JustAnotherGen]

3. The pattern is pretty apparent

Eh?

[MADem]

4. I concur. nt

[kwassa]

5. How does one highlight a pattern to administrators?

I sent a request to ask-the-administrators yesterday, on another favorite poster who is now on 90 day suspension because of other activities. I have yet to receive a response.

I wonder if your research post should be simply copied and sent to them in the same way. Patterns of abuse are important.

6. I don't know that they are around that much

If they are - then they are probably buried under administrative tasks. *sigh*

Maybe if a few of us sent it to them?

I *believe* that MIRT is limited in what they can do if a poster has more than 100 posts.

[Behind the Aegis]

9. You are correct.

I *believe* that MIRT is limited in what they can do if a poster has more than 100 posts.

If a poster has over 100 posts, we only get to review is the post is hidden 7-0, and even then, we only have an hour if there is a ban contemplated.

If a poster has 2 hides in 24 hours, the account is flagged for review. MIRT has no control on lifting the review or banning the person in question.

8. I'd take a shortcut in this instance.

There are four hidden racially-insensitive posts by this individual w/in the three month window. His sourcing in his most recent opus is 'off the page.'

I think you don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.

Perhaps a DUmail to one of the admins with the OP material cut/pasted or a link to this thread is the way to work it.

It's clear there's an incompatible agenda at play, here.

7. I wondered about this

But I don't know the poster. Seemed very odd post but I ignored it because I wasn't sure.

Judging from everything here, my first instinct was right

Thanks for the info
