Ok--all's good. You can't trust people in the media to be honest with stats or facts. There is always "an agenda" and politics is in everything.

Police dogs bite criminals in most cases. If in 90% of the cases the criminal is white.....well that just happens to be who is doing the crime in that area.

Not hard to understand. Nothing racist about it.....just solid facts.

entering slowly......turning around and walking out on a politically defensive crowd...moving from K9 racial profiling to disparaging MLK....his birthday must be coming up:-) Oh well....let the beat go on!

Ron,
I try never to engage ignorance!

One think I am trying to proof to the moderators and to Oli that we do not need them, that we can have civilized debate even if it is on fringes of rules of this forum. Vom Brunhaus true or not this is not what we are talking about. Instead I am pointing out that PC culture is in this case endangering valuable K9 programs and welfare of the LEOs and thus subsequently welfare of all of us.
Lets not debate MLK. That is not what I was after and what topic of this thread is all about.

Modulus Rex moderator comment: Thank you for your mature approach, Hans. Vom Brunhaus's comment has been deleted as inappropriate to this specific discussion and also for being inappropriate generally for the forum.

The study is flawed if it's based on K9 bites by dobermans as the study says....since dobermans are rarely, if ever used as Patrol K9s.

The study does nothing but regurgitate another author's statistics, and really serves no purpose except to be inflammatory towards Police and the use of Police K9s. Are the bites from a dog that has been trained to bite going to cause more tissue damage than the bite of a house pet with no training?

Duh

The demographics of an area will dictate what race gets bit. it's not racial profiling, it's mathematics.

"There were racial patterns. Caucasians made up 41% of LA County under the 1990 census but received only 7% of police dog bites. Hispanics made up 37% of the county population and were 32% of police dog bites. African-Americans made up 10% of the county population, yet were 60% of police dog bites. The article did not look at deployment patterns of police dogs and contained no discussion as to the disparity in the ethnicity of police dog bite victims."

this is crap!........... instead of slapping the race card into the equation, why didn't the author state the percentages of each race doing the crimes and then of this percentage how often police dogs were used in each group? That would be truthful reporting......

I'll bite....

In Los Angeles, blacks committed 41% of all robberies in 2001, according to victims' descriptions, though they constitute only 11% of the city's population. Robbery victims in Los Angeles named whites, who make up 30% of the population, 4% of the time.

The next time someone tells you that the police are stopping "too many" members of any given racial group, ask: "too many" compared to what? Compared to their population ratio or compared to their crime rate? If we want the police to be effective, they must direct their enforcement activity based on crime, not on skin color.
