Distorting the truth about crime and race
#2
What if teapartiers where stopped 9X more often than others, but shown to commit crimes at an equal rate to other protesters. Wouldn't that send up red flags in your circle of friends? Regarding Giuliani and CompStat have you read Freakonomics, UofC economist Steven Levitt, breaks down crime statistics and showed there is correlation is not causation in lower crime. Among more powerful factors in reducing crime.
  • 1. An increased number of police.
    2. The rising jail population.
    3. The lowering of the crack epidemic.
    4. The legalization of abortion and availability of the pill.[/list:u]
