47% or less of the cars, 90% of the tickets. But it makes sense if you note than none of the whites get tickets for 'driving while black.'

Well...maybe those longer Achilles tendons make them faster drivers as well as runners.

Word on the street is that it's actually because blacks have longer big toes.

So when the Ferguson Police issue speeding citations to blacks, they are, in effect, 'catching them by the toe.'

Idiot presumption, not living in the Real World...

Racist much? Not only is it racist but it's also nonsensical if for no other reason that the strength of the FPD is nowhere near 10% of the total population to say nothing of the equitable ratio of black to white officers.

Ferguson has 53 officers, three of whom are black. That's a little less than 6% black in a town where 2/3 of the population is black.

So, the relevant challenge is: "Find me 6.7 qualified black police officers for every ten officers."

Zeke is also trying to find 6.7% qualified Mexicans that he can trust to mow his lawn.

Yeah, and "you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.."*

Better yet, if you get get some that say "Hands up, don't shoot".

That should do the trick.

That's a fact! I used to get pulled over all the time for bullshit reasons or no reason at all when I had "leftie" bumper stickers on my truck. Once I scraped them off, the harassment stopped.

Hmmm...that's easily testable, and would make a very interesting investigation.

Could be!

The evidence is there:

"On 18 December 2007, Hamilton was suspended from driving in France for a month after being caught speeding at 196 km/h (122 mph) on a French motorway. His Mercedes-Benz CLK was also impounded."

It'll also get your vehicle vandalized.

Back when my daughter first started driving I gave her my old truck as a hand me down and she immediately plastered the thing with leftie stickers.

I told her not to, but she wouldn't listen. Sure enough, within a couple of weeks one of the tail lights got busted out. Cost $100 bucks to get a replacement because I had to buy the whole unit, they don't sell the lenses by themselves like they did back in the day. Shit this was back in the late 90's. It would probably be $300 bucks today.
