Several problems with this. 1. They are frequently shot when they aren't committing crimes. See Tamir Rice and John Crawford. 2. Frequently, if they are committing a crime it is a low level offence, which doesn't justify the death penalty. 3. Frequently, white people who are committing the same type of crime aren't killed, which illustrates the racial disparities in the criminal justice system.

If you would read the study posted, you would note that the authors controlled for the variables that are mentioned in your quotation. Yes, more white people are shot, but blacks are shot at a higher rate per capita. The important point is when the authors controlled for the amount of crime that occurred within a community blacks were more likely to be shot. In other words, when comparing white communities to black communities with the same level of crime, blacks were still more likely to be subject to lethal force. This caused the authors to conclude that criminality cannot explain the differences in the use of force. To be perfectly honest, I trust a scholarly investigation of the subject more than a newspaper article. The statistical analysis and controlling for variables are going to provide more accurate results.

What evidence do you have that he wasn't a wonderful school cook? Clearly a number of people who knew him disagree with you. What evidence do you have that he has gang affiliations? I just looked up his facebook page. His posts aren't public, so I would be interested to know how someone was able to find said affiliations on the page. What evidence do you have that Dayton's comments in any way are linked to any cop being shot? Insulting people's political beliefs (libtard) is against site policy and is poor quality argument. When what you have is insult, you don't have a lot of go on. The studies on subconscious racial bias show that it is widespread and that the bias tends to associate blackness with criminality. This is true of even many African Americans. Someone doesn't have to be consciously racist to have those associations, but those associations do affect how people react. He wasn't a robbery suspect. He resembled the person who committed the robbery. It's a big difference. Police do shoot black people at a much higher rate than white people and studies indicate that criminality doesn't explain this difference. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0141854

The Star Tribune did some actual fact checking. He didn't get his concealed carry permit from Ramsey county; he got it from Hennepin county. The Ramsey County Sheriff, in the same twitter feed that said he didn't get it from Ramsey county, acknowledged very clearly that he could have gotten it from a different county. The reporting in the article you are referencing is so sloppy, I'm not sure how much weight should be given to it.

In the post game interview, Cam Johnson said he loved it.

It's either Latin or French abbreviation (I forget which) for green mountain.

The Best Western Windjammer Inn has reasonable rates and is fairly close to campus. Shalamar of India does a nice Sunday buffet if you like Indian food.

The OP serves its mixed drinks in pint glasses. It helps with that you can only have one drink at a time thing.

The phrase Night Riders was commonly used to refer to marauding groups in the South who carried out acts of property destruction, violence, and murder against African Americans. Many were part of the KKK but not all were. They were functionally lynch mobs that operated under the cover of darkness. I actually cringed a little when I saw Night Riders on the list.

BU can't even fill it's own arena most of the time.

Storm's not supposed to hit until later tomorrow. Unless everyone is making a run on the grocery stores, the weather shouldn't be a factor.

Michigan looks like the Cat in the Hat designed their sweaters.

In addition to all of the historical stuff like the Freedom Trail, the aquarium is amazing. The Duck tours sound cheesy but are actually pretty cool. You get a tour of Boston in an amphibious vehicle. You start on land and then drive into the river and get to see the city from the water. Also agree with Legal Seafood. You won't find fresher seafood.

Schmaltz with two assists and a goal so far against the Swedes tonight.

A buddy of mine found this gem. From the NJIT website, "Because of NJIT's size, it's easy to join a varsity team; you may even be able to play two sports”

Colleges are very limited in what information they can legally release about a student. The student would have to sign a waiver allowing the college to release medical information.

They gave up two in the second in spite of having a pretty good period, and then just melted down in the third. They took a series of stupid penalties and the Rangers were surprisingly able to score power play goals today.

Epic Habs meltdown in this game.

Never said I thought the courts reasoning on limiting free speech in high schools was good. I tend to think they are far too restrictive. I was just pointing out that the reasoning used by the courts in that case wouldn't be applicable to a college setting.

The courts apply significantly different standards of constitutional rights in high schools than they do in other social locations because people are required to attend school and cannot opt out. This court case didn't say students couldn't ever wear shirts with American flags on them; it simply said they could be banned on one particular day because of the risk of disruption to the educational experience at the school, which is a standard that is only applied to elementary and secondary schools.

You'll have to step up your game.
