Johnson taking credit for a reduction in public violence...When the country was locked down and people stayed put at home.

Although homicides decreased mostly during the biggest cuts in police numbers posted by mamba

Homicides account for around 0.04% of total crime and is useless as a barometer for overall police efficiency.

posted on 28/7/21

Crime rates had been drastically reducing since 1995 but this progress has drastically reducing in the last 10 years. Almost flat lining since 2015.

The judiciary has also developed a backlog worse than a 3rd world country in the last 10 years due to cuts to their budgets. Get victimised today and you'll get a hearing date for next March

Stop and search isn’t racist

Some officers who carry it out may be, but the tactic isn’t.

No. I’m not and you know very well I’m not.

I made it abundantly clear that I was talking about the tactic. Stop and search in itself is not racist. How can it be unless the person utilising the power that comes with it is themselves racist?

There are police officers who are racist. Nobody would really suggest otherwise. They may through their own racism use the power to target those they are racist against. That makes them racist. Not the act.

posted on 28/7/21

Also the results post application aren’t racist either. They are simply results or statistics if you prefer.

A racist bias in the use of the power will undoubtedly produce a set of results or statistics that cannot be sensibly relied upon. Again that’s different

That didn't and still doesn't prove anything. You're memory must be failing because you had presented stats for something different and you had grossly misinterpreted these stats as well. There was no response from you after I pointed out that fact.

You don't know the process used to determine who gets proceeded against for any crime, which is also riddled with racism and class issues.

So they disproportionately stop and search black people which inevitably results in skewed stats and then use those same stats to justify even more stop and search of black people. Vicious racist cycle.

No. I realise you are continually trying to twist this but again I’ll make it very clear as to what I am saying.

Some police officers are racist. There is a well held opinion that the Met is institutionally racist.

Racist officers will likely use powers they are given and target people in a racist manner.

One of those powers is stop and search.

The powers themselves are not racist. They are not designed to target and specific part of society other than criminals.

Stop and search being one of those powers is not racist.

Stop and search can be used in a racially targeted manner by racist officers.

There.

If black people are 4% of population how do you justify stop and search of 6 black people out of every 7 searches?

If you reveresed that and searched white dudes in 6 out of 7 searches, there would be a statistical sudden great spike in knife crime among white dudes which we could then use to justify more stop and search of white dudes.

It's not rocket sconce.

Furthermore, some police are racist and we know that even those who aren't are susceptible to subconscious bias and first impressions as human beings. Policing tactics should avoid such scenarios as much as possible because we know bias is mostly unintentional, unwilling and perpetrators unaware and ultimately in denial of it.

You don’t know the process either. You’re just assuming racism like all basics do.

My memory certainly isn’t failing me. There is a reason why I brought up conviction rates at the same time as I knew you would go there.

The key factor that you’re also forgetting to account for is London.
