Sure, but I'm sure some people just want to be treated like the paying customers they are and that really shouldn't include being forced to indulge those providing the service.

I find it interesting that in one case you want to delve deeper into the numbers and in the other you implore people to just accept the stats.

Just interesting.

Not long ago I saw a panel for women's rights in a middle eastern country (forgive me for forgetting which). There were over a dozen men on stage. No ladies. That's what days like this look and sound like.

Meltdown continuing.

So what, was he just cruising down a random street in Syria or Iran in his big, expensive car and just happened upon such a panel?

Where did I say we shouldn't look for explanation of either respective factual statement? I even specifically said that the statement of fact made by Shapiro begs a request for further explanation and examination.

Just a poor, poor gotcha attempt. Do better.

It was the #MoreThanKhomeini event.

I had to double check to make sure that was a Goff tweet and not a Julie tweet.

Next time he should take the extra 30 seconds to verify which country as it would help give the impression his concern was legitimate.

No, he didn't.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

If you already accept that blacks are more likely to be victims of police brutality what does it matter if whites interact with the police more or less often than blacks?

Someone please tweet that at him.

I guess I misunderstood your saying "no context is needed"

I didn't know you meant "context is definitely needed"

Their window will be open for years!

Because I'd like to know what is the driving force behind the observed fact, as the statistics in the aggregate do not necessarily implicate an active racial bias in policing. Police interaction data (perhaps from body camera footage plugged into an AI) can give us a better understanding of what we observe.

Again with the gotcha attempts of a fourth grader. I didnt chide Jason for failing to provide or reference the context in which his figure is true. In fact, I specifically said "proceeding from that point of fact...".

hanged

Wow . . . you sure can find the soft spot in someone's armor.

This is part of why he is so salty.

Good catch. Whenever it is something that he agrees with it is never necessary to dig deeper. Whenever it is something that he doesn't agree with then we must invariably"dig deeper". It will become so deep with inquiry that the hope is that you will lose sight of what the original point happens to be. You haven't reached the point where you just have to address some irrelevant point simply in order to address an irrelevant. It is coming however.

I guess I need you to say specifically what you mean when you said, "Goff's statement". To me his statement essentially was: blacks are 6X more likely to be effected by police brutality than whites [I'm not including the more nebulous "racial injustice" which seems impossible to measure]. You appear to accept this statement as true.

If you already acknowledge that blacks are six times more likely to be victims of police brutality than whites, what difference does it make whether or not there is or isn't a racial bias in policing? Even if you were to assume there was no racial bias in policing that still doesn't take away from the fact that blacks are six times more likely than whites to be victims of police brutality. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding your position.
