A comment on Facebook prevents sharing New York Post story on BLM co-founder's real estate. Parent comment
- 7 times more likely to be falsely convicted of murder than innocent white suspects.
- 3.5 times more likely ... for sexual assaults.
7x & 3.5x are lowballs since I expect only a relatively small % can actually afford to prove their innocence.
Conclusion: Good luck getting accurate crime stats from some of the most historically racist institutions in the USA.
