[quote=So Boerd]Shame on you. allegedly rational Magnum, for falling for cum hoc ergo propter hoc.Quick impressions on FBI source:

1. White people (including Hispanics) murder less than Black people
2. 700,000 of the margin between white and black is DUI, which they rarely send you to prison for.
3. Seeing as Black people evidently commit crime at a much higher rates than Whites+Hispanics, about 85% of the population, that proves that recidivism is much more likely among blacks, prompting longer sentences and explaining the large prison population.

Actually the sources show slightly more murder from blacks than whites, but whites more guilty of just about every other crime.
And considering the majority of such crimes are committed by white people, it is an odd contradiction that there are more black people who face severe punishment.

And even if black people are more likely to commit crime, the duty of an officer to treat everyone the same regardless of things such as skin colour. To be more strict on people strictly for their colour isn't something they should do.

[quote=ASTA]Also, instead of posting latin phrases, actually explain what your issue with my response is.[/quote]

It's a logical fallacy.
It basically means correlation doesn't equal causation.

But So Boerd isn't properly applying it here which is the issue.
