Discrimination and Disparities: Is Policing a Bigger Problem Than Crime? | OLD PARKLAND CONFERENCE

Are racial disparities in arrests and incarceration evidence of racist policing? Is over-policing a primary threat to the safety of black communities, as Black Lives Matter activists and others have argued in recent years? Should we reduce police resources and prosecute fewer crimes? Do black men have more reason than others to fear law enforcement? Is the drug war driving “mass incarceration”? Jason Riley engaged with Janice Rogers Brown, Roland Fryer, and Rafael Mangual on these questions and more.

What an incredible video! How is it that such a great quality video like this only have 516 views after 4 days? Spread this video to the masses!!!

[@karimalameddine5092]

True. Upside down world. We also need to share information and perspectives in person. We need to talk to activists and academics... 🙂

[@kmaidotia]

The views are so few, something is not right

[@ElizabethDohertyThomas]

Amazing discussion... hope this video keeps building. We all need to listen, learn together, and have empathy for everyone.

[@invictus1967]

Dr. Fryer, as Mr Mangual stated in his anecdote from the book "Code of the Street". That demeanor as well as the belief among the demographic that kindness is weakness is why force is more readily used. Its not a mystery, nothibg more complicated then that.

[@Matt-kt9nm]

This needs more views.

[@karimalameddine5092]

Thank you so much, very informative 👏👏👏👏🙂🌷

Behavior is the issue. Not race. But, racialness can be a factor in how one behaves.

[@steve19811]

One's mindset creates one's life. So if you want to compare blacks vs whites as collectives, which crazy progressives and many blacks love to do... more whites have a positive mindset than blacks, it's that simple..... SO yes, it's behavior that creates disparities.. i don't know why the majority of blacks cannot see this.... responsible black men and women understand the power of their minds and take responsibility for their lives....

[@pdumpsterful]

@@steve19811 it's probably how each are raised and taught. Some people teach their children to fear the police. We were taught to trust the police and if we had a problem we could go to them

[@willharriman1881]

Here's a true life example of the actual race problem in employment. A Black man applies for a skilled position as a service technician. He meets all education and experience requirements of the position. All the applicants must take a competitive examination on ELECTROMECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY. The Black man scores 97% on the test to make the number one highest score. THREE white males with LOWER test scores are hired. The Black man who made the top test score was NOT hired! Do see the problem? The only behavior at issue here is that of the white racist officials that perpetrated racist wrongdoings! Until white racist wrongdoings are SERIOUSLY addressed, all the rest doesn't matter at all!

[@BruvahSulaiman]

​@steve19811 The majority of White ppl don't even understand this. The majority of the population will always be the least intelligent and least accurately informed. It takes effort to stay accurately informed and only a handful of ppl are ever going to care enough to put forth that effort. Most just follow the crowd which follows the popular ppl in society.

[@safetythirdified]

Just a question on Rolands work. Has anyone done a study just as detailed on how the citizen interacts with police as opposed to vice versa?

[@pdumpsterful]

Heather mcdonald I think

[@christophergoree6357]

Great stuff

[@Phil_548]

Great content

[@kmaidotia]

The comedic side of Roland 27:58

[@markballard1515]

If there are serious problems that need to be addressed, why is it so necessary to gauge which is larger. It seems to suggest that one should trump the other, rather than both be dealt with.

[@safetythirdified]

That Clarence Thomas joke was pretty funny.

[@evanvarns4785]

Great comment on statistics by Judge Brown; I deal in numbers all day every day, and I'd be the first one to tell you the numbers never, EVER tell the whole story. If you torture the data long enough, you can make it say anything you want it to say - especially when you cherry-pick the data to include and exclude.

That dude talking about making a difference in DC is trippin. That dude is trippin, DC is a mad house right now.

[@802Leith]

Where is the mashup of the broken windows policy and the new justice ideas. Arrest to human services help. When crime is the choice how do we intercept the criminal and use social services to redirect the choices? Incarceration as we have in the past not working . But the swing to ignore the choices, is making society sick, and encouraging bad choices.

[@stump182]

WOW! 1000 lives lost. Great job everyone. Stop playing political football with people.

[@BruvahSulaiman]

Easy answer is no. Obviously no. The statistical odds of me being killed by a criminal committing a crime are astronomically greater than me even having my arm broken by a police officer. The odds my daughter catches a stray bullet from a criminal are astronomically greater than he catching a stray from a cop. You would have to be completely delusional or completely biased to even begin to think that policing is a bigger issue than crime at this time in our country. Half the time, ppl who go hard against policing are ppl who committed crime in the past or ppl who had a good number of family members who committed crime and were taken away by or killed by police due to their own decision to commit crimes and try to avoid accountability for those crimes.

[@encyclopath]

No. Next.

[@lawman3966]

Que?

[@tanyabanya8484]

Roland fryer sounds like Obama lol
