You don't see how an organization founded to enforce a cornerstone of white supremacy may have a statistical likelihood of its members being white supremacists?

- tt24 6mo agoNo, I don't think that this supports the claim that it's a safe assumption that any given cop is a white supremacist.
- defrost 6mo agoNot the claim made. > Statistically that's a pretty sensible assumption. was the claim, ie. quite likely, tending toward more often than not. Versus your phrasing that any given cop is
- ahhhhnoooo 6mo agoYour post is essential. No one is claiming 100% of cops are white supremacists. One is claiming that it's sensible to assume they are. If 20% of cops were white supremacists, and I was a minority, it would be sensible to behave as if every encounter had a significant chance of being with someone is looking to ruin my day. The majority do not need to be unsafe for me to feel unsafe around the community. You have to factor in the potential power they wield (to kill you or take your freedom or seize your assets), combined with the odds that one will do it because they have wrong headed ideas about race.
- tt24 6mo agoIs there evidence to support the claim that, more often than not, a given cop is a white supremacist?
- defrost 6mo ago> more often than not, Again, that's _not_ the upthread claim made by somebody other than myself, a non-US read along. Still, IIRC the US UCLA has written much on the matter, so perhaps start there if you're interested.
- tt24 6mo agoWhat has the UCLA written that agrees with this claim? > They also falsely stated that the officers are “white supremacists,” > Statistically that's a pretty sensible assumption.
- alpha_squared 6mo agoI've attempted to take your responses as made in good faith twice now, despite evidence to the contrary in other threads. I understand if this topic is uncomfortable for you, either because it challenges your world view or because it feels personally invalidating. It appears as though you're looking for one very specific statistic or logical vulnerability in what others are sharing to refute the overall claim. However, I can only lead you to water.
- tt24 6mo agoSorry, just looking for evidence that supports the claim that was made. So far there isn’t any.
