Chicago Police Dept. Plagued by Systemic Racism, Task Force Finds
“The community’s lack of trust in CPD is justified,†the task force wrote. “There is substantial evidence that people of color — particularly African-Americans — have had disproportionately negative experiences with the police over an extended period of time.â€
I wonder how many arrests for cause are conducted on AA vs on White people?
The task force amassed data that shows the extent to which African-Americans appear to have been targeted. In a city where whites, blacks and Hispanics each make up about one-third of the population, 74 percent of the 404 people shot by the Chicago police between 2008 and 2015 were black, the report said. Black people were targeted in 72 percent of thousands of investigative street stops that did not lead to arrests during a recent summer.
Three out of four — 76 percent — of people on whom Chicago police officers used Taser guns between 2012 and 2015 were black. And black people made up 46 percent of police traffic stops in 2013.
Oh, dear... maybe now Chicago will try to do quotas of people arrested. "SO sorry- we've already arrested too many black people, your murder suspect will just have to go free. Go find a white suspect."
