In response to Riddick0691. Perhaps this situation you mention does need more investigation. To begin, I would begin with 911 tapes. The reason is the NAACP was going to police departments to find out if there was a bias because the percentage of young black men in jail was much higher than any other race. The chief of police handed them 30 days of 911 tapes and the corresponding police reports. They returned them without saying a word. The Detroit News followed up on the story and a representative said they could not deny the fact 80 to 100% of violent crimes were committed by young black men in the city on any given night. Additionally, in almost every call, a black citizen was the one who reported it. This was at a time when the population of black citizens in Detroit was about 65 to 70%. After this, the NAACP no longer pursued this type of investigation. In conclusion, the 911 call recordings will tell the truth about what your questioning.. This avoids any possible manipulation of data by department personnel. Thank you for your service officer Cosme.
