Group of Black Lawyers and Judges Seeks Dallas Police Data to Root Out Brutality

I have no problem with lawyers getting involved in area policing, although I don't think there's much to do.  For the most part, Dallas area law enforcement has been free of the kinds of biases or prejudges that have caused racial issues elsewhere. Nobody   But, trying to persuade police departments to arrest fewer black people is a dead end as long as blacks represent the high percentage of criminals.

However, I think having judges involved in this is problematic in the extreme.  The WORST thing a judge can do (and especially criminal judges), other than taking bribes, is to prejudice cases by getting involved in a debate of racial fairness.  That is not their job, not their charge, and not on the inventory of their responsibilities.

I do think where these racial issues are a legitimate problem, and not cover for something else, society needs to make corrections that IMPROVE public safety as well as handling of suspects. 

It IS a problem that some police departments don't like "Cop Watcher" organizations, but that situation can be easily solved by city and county attorneys issuing memos on what is permitted and not permitted to both law enforcement and "Cop Watcher" groups.

The dud e47- You are a damn hillbilly liar!

so in theory the cops should have shot more white suspects? that would be accurate if whites were committing crimes at the same level i guess. last i checked blacks were nearly 8x more likely to kill someone than whites were- and they make up less than 15% of the population. here's a good way to avoid getting shot/beaten by a cop- don't be a criminal! 

@molliegirl2 No.  In fact, it is you who is very much mistaken.  In the U.S., blacks commit most of the street crimes, gun crimes, violent crimes, and most of the other "street crimes" and lower level crimes.  White people commit most of the "white collar crimes", and some of the more sophisticated crimes.. 

However, we've had our share of black elected officials who have committed crimes around here, and a few white elected officials. 

If you look at what races populate American-based gangs, you'll find blacks by far lead the parade.  Next is Hispanics.  White people tend to own that distinction in "organized crime".

There's nothing either insulting or unfair about citing the statistical evidence of probabilities.  Statistics are what they are. 

The challenge is what to do about these crimes, and preventing them.  By the time the police are involved, it's too late. We need more jobs, and we need more crime resistant neighborhoods. But, we're swimming upstream until we can convince communities to fix themselves - including broken families, unmarried teenage pregnancies, domestic violence, community-wide ethical teaching and reinforcement. 

We can't buy or way out of these problems with more money.  We have to work out way out of them by fundamentally changing cultures.

In 2009 I was pulled over and put in handcuffs in Richardson. While arrested and in the back of an officers car laying down, he punched me in the face 3 times. I went to the hospital for a slight concussion and had several bruises. I have the tape of the incident, the hospital record and the pictures of the bruises. The reason they arrested me was dismissed. Who handles that type of case?

@noblefurrtexas @molliegirl2 Say noblefurrtexas...I think you need to check the statistics again.

@bvckvs @the_dude47  Pulling the race card?!?!? Is that the best you can do?

Go call the leasing office at just about any apartment complex in Dallas and tell them you'd like to rent a unit and you have a Pit Bull as a pet.  Know what response you're going to get?

NO AGGRESSIVE BREADS

Now, are they animal haters or do they simply look at the statistics that say that a handful of dog breeds are responsible for 90% of dog bites?

Now tell me why the logic is any different?  The numbers don't like.  Pathetic people like you that refuse to acknowledge the problem in the black community are the problem. 

This comes from a black man who decided not to be some loser race card pulling porch monkey who blames the world for their pathetic life.

@bvckvs @the_dude47 last i checked this story is about BLACK judges & lawyers trying to justify something - like cherry picking some stats will make their community look a little better and maybe they'll get some money for something?! maybe they could find a way to get their community back to work or something, that usually cuts down on the crime rate and maybe we wouldn't need to import illegals to do these tasks?! 

and it's always obvious when you're dealing with liberals, they need to resort to name calling vs. sticking with those pesky little things known as "facts".

btw- my gf's are all black. so keep the racist bs for a real one. there's a difference between racists and realists and the race card is way overplayed, tired and petty. 

@corpvet You're looking for a reputable criminal attorney who will take your case for a portion of what he can keep if he is successful at suing the police department and the city.

Good luck!

@MickeyFree @noblefurrtexas @molliegirl2 Go to any Texas prison and compare the races of the inmates.  You'll get much the same ratio in the punishment sections of most jails (except those counties with far fewer minorities than whites and educated Asians and Latinos. 

Or have a look at Chicago, St. Louis, L.A., Detroit, or even Lansing, Michigan.  Even largely black juries are sending serious criminals to prison. 

TDC (Texas Department of Corrections) has long lamented the large number of minorities (and particularly blacks) in their system.  It's not because of prejudicial juries.  Local crime statistics indicate it is blacks committing most of the serious crimes, and Hispanics are second on the racial list. 

These are confirmed by arrest lists as well as District Attorneys. 

And, the reasons for this aren't a mystery.  But, these folks have to fix their own communities, get rid of the gangs, get the Hip Hop out of the schools, and do something about males abandoning their family responsibilities.

@bvckvs @rubbbrduky @the_dude47 You aint about shit BITCH. Even YOU have a screen name. No shame here you fucking sell out. It is still a free speech world and I make no bones about it.

@bvckvs @corpvet Yup.

@rubbbrduky @bvckvs @the_dude47 WOW!  Your parents must be very proud of you for your vocabulary skills as well as your personal ethics. 

One generally has to go to an Alabama trailer park to find this kind of class.  :)

@bvckvs @the_dude47 ....children...it is now "undocumented immigrants"...which is actually leading the way to "undocumented persons"...if you want to stay ahead.

@bvckvs @the_dude47 um, you're straying from the context and still throwing the race card? fyi- my son in law is mexican, legally- as are many of my friends/colleagues. the one's that aren't call themselves "illegals or mojados" - get a grip. your inability to deal with diversity and the realities of it are blinding you to the truth. 

by chance are you one of those guys who watches foxnews and yells at the tv? i don't watch tv so i'll just have to profile you. 

but seriously, anyone who visit's this country and extends their stay longer than their visa allows is "illegal", doesn't matter where they came from. 

how will you explain to those who take the legal channels to attain residency status on their way to citizenship why we should just open the gates and let everyone in? last i checked, unemployment isn't all that great in the other states. 

@noblefurrtexas @rubbbrduky @bvckvs @the_dude47 Nope, educated right here in Texas, because this is a thinking mans game. Very easy to manipulate the stupid by using law in the way it was meant. Oh and I can guarantee the officer that shot that Brown shit stain ( hehe ) in Ferguson will NOT be found guilty of murder. 

@rubbbrduky @bvckvs @the_dude47 And, that's probably unfair to Alabama.

@TheCredibleHulk you would be mad too if the MONKEYS in your neighborhood were pulling the ol' race card. Funny the article doesn't mention that WHITE and Black police and judges are seeking a uniformed positive resolution, but yet it's is clear according to the post that this is ALL black. So what the fuck is the issue I believe the exact same way as the MONKEYS on the single survival of the white race and all it is. The directive AND the outcome of both races is the same. So fuck you and your sell out ass, and I know I am not the only commenter on this site who feels the same way. Look at the slew of postings. BITCH  :)

@bvckvs @rubbbrduky @the_dude47 You are an old fuck with nothing left to give.

@TheRuddSki Anyone who even TRIES to suggest illegal aliens aren't responsible for a great deal of crime, isn't paying attention. 

By definition, they have already violated our laws.  But, most break the law at least one or two times more before they reach their destinations. 

Build the fence, seal the border, warn Mexico about con$equence$, and deport illegals is the fastest way to stop and cleanup the problem, and to protect Americans.

@TheCredibleHulk @rubbbrduky Smiling while holding down your wife.... ;)

@bvckvs @rubbbrduky @TheCredibleHulk Monkeys also fling Poo. Much like how they did that to their own town in Ferguson. Hmmmmm,  aaaaannnndddd....... they have never fully evolved.
