High Court Says Black Men May Have Legitimate Reason To Flee Police

Black men who try to avoid an encounter with Boston police by fleeing may have a legitimate reason to do so — and should not be deemed suspicious — according to a ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
Mass. High Court Says Black Men May Have Legitimate Reason To Flee Police

Citing Boston police data and a 2014 report by the ACLU of Massachusetts that found blacks were disproportionately stopped by the city's police, the state’s highest court on Tuesday threw out the gun conviction of Jimmy Warren.

So do we just give them the keys to the kingdom?

This will not end well

Hell it hasn't even begun!

Holy Shit! If the law is to be applied equally, How is that not raciest against everybody else? You cant have criminal laws based on race . It conflicts with constitutional law.

This isn't going to end until we give them the race war they want... and crush it, decisively and with extreme violence.

Airborne you are so right. It so unfortunate that it will have to come to that. I'm not a racist. I don't dislike black folks. I never did anything to them. I don't owe them anything. Some of my best friends are black.
But hell if you think that I am ever going to give them anything more than I would give a white person.

You want my respect, earn it. Its NOT FREE!

The ACLU, SPLC, BLM and Obama administration would love to see all the "crackas" in chains. They won't be content until we are back to the 1920s but with the races reversed. We are making good headway in that direction....

I am pretty heartless overall. I feel very little for my fellow man. Sounds cruel, but oh well. The pain and suffering of others; the lack of fairness in our society means little to me. Everything I have, all that I own, is mine. Nothing was given to me. What I have, I built. I work very hard and have always for years worked hard so others don't have to work hard for me.

What is happening in America today in regards to race is the direct result of failed Government policies. The Government has failed on so many levels. They allowed a system that was meant to assist, to become ripe with failure, corruption and greed. Because of many of these failed programs, we have an issue that will not be easy to solve.

This ruling by the Court makes our problem worse. Many will see this as a "Get Out Of Jail Free Card". This is going to make horrible policy. If a White guy runs, do all that you can do to stop him. Same with Hispanics and Asians and... If a Black man runs from the police, it is okay, he is only running scared. Not guilty, just scared. One more ruling that will make the situation worse.

I do not know what the answer is to the racial discourse that we are having. I do not want a race war. I have had enough of war. There will be NO winners if it comes to this. We live in a society of laws and rules. We may not always agree to them, but if members of society break these laws and rules, they are to be punished. They should not be allowed by the courts to run by claiming they were scared. This really makes me feel ill!

LOL

Are you freaking kidding me? Its unfortunate, but its a statistical fact that blacks commit more crimes (especially violent) than any other race per capita.

So logic dictates that if one group of people commit more crime, they will be disproportionately stopped. Now, there are many reasons we could get into as to why they commit more crime, but i cant do that much typing from my phone.
