That chart actually did prove true for Chicago (nearly 90%), still read high for New York (62%) and St. Louis (59%), but failed for just about everything in California. 62% of the cops living in the city means 58% don't even have the potential to live in the precinct they patrol. It is very unlikely a majority of those 62% actually live in the precinct in which they patrol. DrunkenPilot72 posted... That said, a "racist" PD doesn't sound believable for something like Chicago but it could hold weight for the other precincts if the demographics were equally skewed. The Chicago PD is much whiter than the city overall, though. All true points, and easily something that can be tabled for another topic in it's entirety. I think we can both agree however that the Police Departments for these problem areas need to be looked at in further detail and the answer isn't going to be something as simple as "the police department was ran by a bunch of racists". Personally I think it has more to do with general abuse of authority that can be corrected by proper oversight (body cameras, stricter punishment for ethics violations, etc). Either way, the little back and forth exchange just now could actually be productive if had by people in real positions of power to make these changes instead of the only two talking points of "more gun control" followed by "racist police". --- PSN: vyers72 FC: 0860-3464-0095 <cite>DrunkenPilot72 posted [p:887676847] in Taking awa...
