Black men who try to avoid an encounter with Boston police by fleeing may have a legitimate reason to do so — and should not be deemed suspicious — according to a ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

Citing Boston police data and a 2014 report by the ACLU of Massachusetts that found blacks were disproportionately stopped by the city's police, the state’s highest court on Tuesday threw out the gun conviction of Jimmy Warren.

In its ruling, the court made two major findings: The justices said police didn’t have the right to stop Warren in the first place, and the fact that he ran away shouldn’t be used against him.

Its really pretty sad because recently they had an officer shot and apprehended said suspect without use of deadly force. ACLU is becoming a joke sadly.

http://m.wcvb.com/news/police-officer-shot-in-boston/37331906 in January but it was this year. I initially heard about it on Jeff Ross' new special where he roasted the Boston PD.

This ruling wasn't based on anecdotes but scientific facts.

Scientific facts doesn't make it impenetrable also what I posted wasn't based of anecdotes either.

The thing is saying they're targeting blacks or people of color when unfortunately some are disproportionately committing crimes is sure to skew the results. Not saying it doesn't happen just saying that its fact is a stretch.

But what you're saying was taken into account.

>Even after controlling for crime, Boston police officers were more likely to initiate police encounters in Black neighborhoods and to initiate encounters with Black people.

WHAT'S TRUE: The highest court in Massachusetts cited a "document[ed] pattern of racial profiling of black males in the city of Boston" as cause for black men to be disinclined to interact with officers.

WHAT'S FALSE: The ruling didn't explicitly state or establish as law that "black men ... have good reason to run from police."

Hurr a durr.

Of course blacks are targeted. They are the ones doing crime. Who else are they going to stop and investigate? Asians?
>>
In the 90's black people tried to fight back against the police and only succeeded in making the mainstream of America "tough on crime". Today, black people are acting the way liberal hipsters would if they felt their lives were being threatened. That black lady who called 911 on the cops, for example. This is going to create a moral crisis among educated middleclass Americans and hopefully lead to substantive reform of the way shootings by police officers are handled in the legal system. And, of course, while institutional racism remains, such liberal reforms will mainly help what few white hippies that do get stopped by police.

So win win for liberals. Librul guilt is actually a mechanism for using real social problems to make it easier to be an idiot pothead if you are a white kid from a middleclass family.

>Even after controlling for crime, Boston police officers were more likely to initiate police encounters in Black neighborhoods and to initiate encounters with Black people.

Because black neighborhoods and the majority of the black population falls into areas with higher population density and urbanization, meaning there's going to be a larger police presence. Moreover, there are far more white communities and neighborhoods than black ones, again, which lower populations/population densities and smaller police forces.

No one ever seems to control for population or population density. I wonder why.
I also wonder why people think crime rates and policing rates are supposed to necessarily be proportional with the percentage f the population these groups represent.

This all wreaks of social pseudoscience.

The ACLU has always been a joke. A liberal joke and the punchline has been the unraveling of American society.
