    Sorry, the fail in this post is incredible. There is a dramatic bias in law enforcement, shown by the statistical analysis of crimes committed, people arrested, people charged, and people incarcerated. The image you quoted is hardly "statistical analysis," it is two cherry picked data points meant to mislead those without a background in statistics and activate their confirmation bias, as they have with you. The people who are most likely to be misled in such a way would be those who vote Republican, as evidenced by your commentary.

    It is pretty hilarious that you mention context, large datasets, and sampling while ignoring the fact that none of that is present in the two pie charts you quoted.

    Please, for the love of God, get an education.

    You are not following. Everyone you have been arguing with is intellectually superior to you.

    Interesting opinion, not borne out by the facts at hand. Can you actually point out anything I've said which is inaccurate or are you going to stick with insults and fleeing from a challenge?

    So the answer is that you can't point out a single inaccurate statement and that you will continue to insist that you're much more intelligent than I, but also continue to refuse to engage in a battle of wits.

    HILARIOUS!!!

    The fact that you have not noticed that you have been engaged in a battle of wits means that you are losing...badly.

    The fact that you can't understand what I have said means that you lost, a LONG time ago.

    Hello TheDelusionalist137 - not only do you not have a clue about football (soccer) and basketball, but you are wrong here as well - as always.

    In fact, I revived this very thread after it had been dormant for 2 1/2 months with this post:

    I then contributed further:

    You, on the other hand:

    (insult accusing someone of racism, towards BobbyTheGreat)

    (insult implying racial bias, towards roxxfan)

    (insult towards BobbyTheGreat)

    And now you get out.

    Then you can go meta on the fail and point out it is percentages from 100 incidents in one year in one city, which he has extrapolated to prove a point about a national issue...then he tells us we are uneducated.

    This thread is about race. It's natural to insinuate racial bias depending on who you support. If I believe that a system is racially unequal, and there are those who support that system, then it is not a gigantic leap to insinuate racial bias towards that person.

    You, on the other hand, have spent the last couple of pages posting juvenile spongebob pictures and remarks. Speaks volumes about your level of maturity.

    And by proof you post a video where the employee of the company selling the device misses the targets face? Did you watch these videos? The girl completely missed.

    You called this post BS
    said it doesn't have to hit eyes and is now accurate. Then post a video of the girl missing and it only being effective when it hits the eyes. Everything I said in that post is accurate.

    This was your response to remind you

    You don't seem to understand at all. The girl to whom you referred missed the target the first time she ever handled the device. On the second try, she hit the target dead center. The man hit three different targets over the space of less than 30 seconds from over 20 feet away.

    Yes, because it was.

    It doesn't. If it hits anywhere on the torso, the affected person will be effectively incapacitated for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

    Tell you what, I'd love to test this. Since you think an unarmed assailant will be able to overpower a person after being hit with pepper spray (we'll leave the taser out), you be the assailant and I'll hit you with pepper spray. I won't aim any higher than the chest and we'll start from 20 feet away. Your prize, should you remain able to overpower me, will be your choice of $50 or an unopposed beating.

    Which is correct. With even a modicum of training, which LEOs undergo constantly, incapacitating a person with pepper spray should prove fairly easy. I'll put money on it.

    It doesn't surprise me that she missed the first time she ever handled the thing. It is unlikely that an LEO would be similarly untrained, particularly if there were a rule requiring them to use nonlethal options before pulling out a gun when faced with an unarmed opponent.

    Let's test it out.

    No, it isn't. I'm so confident that I will risk $50 (either in cash or as a tipjar bet) or a beating at your hands.

    A response I stand by. You're spouting nothing but bullsh!t. I suspect you don't know it, which is the reason I'm offering to educate you. Sadly, education appears to be something you're terrified of.

    Football is football over here... Not soccer. Do you even live in this country and are American...? Are just an outsider trying to peep in through the blinds...?

    Deal. We go to the range. you spray pepper spray 2 fee to the right of me. I have 5 seconds to put bullets in a silhouette. winrar gets the money.

    the thing is, all of this has been done before. You are wrong. I'm not sure why you get in arguments you know nothing about, but I kinda know a bit about self defense. Check all the gun threads I have never seen you in.

    I know I am neither a racist nor a xenophobe. That would make me different from you.

    Sorry to intrude on your discussion but with training and sufficient will pepper spray can be resisted and certainly within 20 feet a charging assailants sheer momentum will carry them into you even if you pepper spray. I've been exposed to pepper spray from an accidental discharge. It wasn't right in my face but was sprayed a few feet from me. While I teared up and it stung I didn't feel incapacitated. Also if you've noticed in the Hong Kong protests where protestors have been able to withstand pepper spray using umbrella and wearing safety goggles show that while not useless with proper preparation its usefulness as a nonlethal weapon can be greatly diminished.

    Anyway my own opinion isn't that police should be disarmed to down to nonlethal weapons but that I think training, tactics and policies need to be reformed and improved to reduce the use of deadly force that LE use.

    What makes us different is I'm not dumb enough to refer to soccer as football... Also, you're the racist that shines through on this board. I see you constantly pointed your finger with three pointing back at you. Racist tend to beat up and down the pages of threads they disagree with... Like you do.
