    They were eight times more likely to resist arrest per arrest.

    Well thank you. But not so much a mind reader as a "post" reader. So if you were expecting to get away with writing nonsense, thinking that nobody would read it... you hit a wall there, buddy.

    Wrong! Read the article that you reference.

    BTW, that's not a study. It's a newspaper article. Which doesn't mean it's false. But if you're giving it credibility you will have to also believe the part where it says that minorities are treated much more roughly than whites, and that it's possible that many of the reports of resisting arrest were made to justify the cop's own rough behavior.

    You can't pick and choose.

    By not reading the article that you use as reference you have proven my point. Next time you might want to read more than just the headline.

    It said "rate". Rate generally implies proportional rather than just pure numbers.

    I can pick and choose whatever I want.

    I wasn’t talking about the article. I was talking about reality. Learn to read what I actually post, not what you think I post.

    Of course you can! How else would a Trump supporter participate in any of these discussions otherwise!

    That's hilarious!

    You demand that I read, and you didn't even notice that post wasn't addressed to you.

    Funny as hell!

    Unless we're looking at one of those cases of "dual personality" here.... hmmmmm.....

    I just went to ESPN web site to get some baseball scores and to see what times the games start tonight and which ones are being televised. What I got was the first three main articles all about politics. I always thought ESPN was suppose to be a sports web site, not a political one.

    I'm moving ESPN out of my sports bookmarks into my political bookmarks. If I want politics I'll come to sites like this one. If I want sports, it looks like ESPN isn't the place for sports anymore. It's become just another political web site.

    It doesn't need to be addressed to me for me to comment on it. Or is that another leftist rule I'm just supposed to understand? You sure got it all figured out. You're awesome.

    It has to be addressed to you in order for you to complain because I'm not addressing on it what you wrote.

    However, your misreading the post...your logic (or lack therefor)... your style when trying to wiggle out of an embarrassing situation is... oddly familiar.

    Hmmm... I am wondering. Maybe it was for you.... Just a different... you you.

    The felons, drug addicts, rapists and wife beaters who neither produce or add any value to society are going to deny television viewers of their glorious presence in order to teach those of us who haven’t had our TVs looted a lesson about crime and punishment. Am I getting that right?
