Well I don't know the answer to that, but I do know that after centuries of oppression by whitey, black people are entitled to respond with belligerance and aggression.Quote:

Might also be useful to see what percentage of those arrested in each ethnic group suffered use of force. It might turn out that police are actually less likely to use force against a black person; they are just more likely to nick them and therefore they account for more incidents. A very different issue.Quote:
