Are you retarded? You think 1 in 2,400 is "50% less than" 1 in 150?

Why would people who by your own admission are literal violent criminals have a huge violent interaction rate with everybody else, but 0 with cops? Are you among the denominator in the first claim and find yourself having frequent police interactions? Would explain your attitude on most things.

do you think the remainder of 99.7% is "1 in 2400?"

<Huh2>

100% divided by 0.3% is not 2400, my boy.

The 99.77% isn't of the population, genius, it's 99.77% of police stops, which is like 1/8 of the population.

What is 0.33% divided by 8?

Or you can skip those steps and just use the number of times force is used, 3700, out of a population of 8.6M to decide the odds of police using force on a citizen, and the actual odds are still much longer than that because that would be assuming everybody stopped by the police lives there when it's one of the most visited cities in the world, and that nobody gets stopped more than once. The real denominator would be the 8.6M people live there plus the 65M who visit, but I'm being generous to your fake argument.

Or if you want to keep your 1 in 300 number, you can acknowledge that it is 1 in 300 criminals, not 1 in 300 citizens, in which case police using force on 1 in 300 criminals is not just something a sane person can "stomach", it's incredibly commendable.

And also nothing even remotely close to what he said. Who the fuck said anything about "killed"? That is the percentage of police interactions that escalate to violence because of the perp, not the number of deaths, and the denominator isn't the population. The number of deaths during arrests in the entire state of NY last was 7 in a population of 20 million, and cops killed on duty was 17, and assaults on police officers was 86,000.

If you were to find out that the violent crime rate in NYC was more than double that at 1 in 150, would you consider yourself "demonic" for being able to "stomach" that, or do you think police should crack down until that number is 0?

To sum up, a resident of NYC has a 1 in 2,400 chance of a violent interaction with police, all of which they would have to cause themselves, and a 1 in 150 chance of a violent interaction with a criminal resident that requires no cause whatsoever.

Well, I have been railing against that intensely for decades. I think it is fucking insane that the scotus ruled that “corporations have first amendment rights” in 78 after the first national case and then citizens united and that donating an obscene amount of money is also a first amendment right because it is one of the single biggest sources of corruption in politics. I have oft talked about doing a thread looking at congress and how much they’re worth, who’s pocket are they in-lobbyists and industries, and congress’ connection with walstreet. I went on a rant one day about this after diane feinstein died because of fucking corrupt she was with insider trading and ties to pet projects in her city that her husband was involved in and she voted in favor of-like the light rail or something like that. Then, I went off on pelosi and a shit ton of others. That was when I started loosely putting together a thread on the issue in my notes-but damn, did it become unwieldy. Hell, I remember doing research decades ago against john mccain because of his campaign against mma-nhb back in those days, and his close, financial ties to the boxing industry-that was when I first took an interest in the topic because during the mma dark ages-UFC 22-33 or so-can’t remember which was the first ufc back on ppv, but I watched it live for the first time ever and I held mccain personally responsible
 


He's not wrong here. People are unhappy with the way things are currently which led to the rise of people like him, Trump etc.

Basically anyone willing to admit the system doesn't still work and smash it apart will be popular.
