You are 9x more likely to be stopped and searched if you are black.

this is just a poor use of statistics.

Sorry I was also wrong, it's 40x in England and Wales...perhaps you can take up the poorness of the reporting with the MSM reporting it, thanks.

You haven't disproved anything, you've essentially made the same comment twice. Without looking at the crime statistics this stat is as useful as me saying 'men more likely to be stopped than women'

I'm not disputing the statistics, I'm telling you without providing crime rates it's pointless using them. Black people commit disproportionate knife crime, therefore black people will be searched for knives at a higher rate. I don't think stop and search is effective on its own, but it's not racist.

An interesting viewpoint - and one that defies all the data.

Do you think racial profiling is racist?

I assume you don't as you have already got to the argument that 'black people' commit x times more crime (knife crime is just an example) therefore should be x times more targeted by the police. In my innocence I thought criminals committed x times more crime so the police should use objective intelligence (not stereotypes and plain prejudice) to target criminals!
