But, to address your point, if crime figures are micro-managed for drug arrests, so are the figures for every other crime. [/quote]
The problem with this is it still assumes that blacks are actually committing these homicide. [/quote]

Your point is that police will stake out a dealers house and catch the customers rather than the dealer in order to fill a quota. You also contend that this technique could be applied to violent crime. The thing is, under the conditions you laid out, the customers being arrested are actually guilty of buying illegal drugs, so for this same scenario to be applied to violent crime, it is assumed that these black people are actually committing these violent crimes, otherwise this technique doesn’t apply.
For example, maybe the police stake out an area known for being a violent crime hot-spot and await for someone to commit a violent crime rather than making their presence known ahead of time in order to fill a quota. The thing is, if no one is actually committing a violent crime, nobodies getting arrested and the quota isn’t getting filled. If they are committing a violent crime, well that’s the whole argument right there, now isn’t it? [/quote]
The difference is that I know this happens and you are equivocating based on what I’ve told you. Profiling is at work to create crime stats that you’re using to defend the death of a kid who had no record. That’s been your whole argument.
