Funny you say that, given how you flatly refuse to accept there are two sides to the vaping argument.

Because there is people who take the facts, and others who argue based on no facts. 'oh it could be dangerous' Not really an opposing argument?

What are you going on about? I never even mentioned drugs or criminal sentences because they were completely unrelated to my point about statistical likelihood. Anyway, you're implying that sentences for crack cocaine crime are longer than normal cocaine, simply because black people commit more of it. RACISM!!!!!!!! No.
That is a ludicrous, nonsensical suggestion. Do you seriously think that a group of police/judges/government officials have sat around a meeting table and concluded that they must hand out longer crimes for crack cocaine use, simply because it is prevalent amongst blacks? Of course not. You look for oppression/victimhood when it simply isn't there.

no idea, on't watch it. Going on a comedians word right now, which we all know is as true as they come
#ALLLIVESMATTER you massive bunch of pseudo-intellectual, faux liberal, quasi-polticised noisy berks.
The lizards create this stuff to distract the peons so the attention is never drawn upward, always sideways and downward. The Matrix is real but sadly there's no cool computers and dodging bullets just the super-rich and owned governments.

A study by a Harvard professor released this month found no evidence of racial bias in police shootings even though officers were more likely to interact physically with non-whites than whites.
The paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research, which examined thousands of incidents at 10 large police departments in California, Florida and Texas, concluded that police were no more likely to shoot non-whites than whites after factoring in extenuating circumstances.
“On the most extreme use of force — officer-involved shootings — we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account,” said Harvard economics professor Roland G. Fryer Jr. in the abstract of the July 2016 paper.
Mr. Fryer, who is black, told The New York Times that the finding of no racial discrimination in police shootings was “the most surprising result of my career.”
At the same time, the study found blacks and Hispanics were more than 50 percent more likely to experience physical interactions with police, including touching, pushing, handcuffing, drawing a weapon, and using a baton or pepper spray.
The 63-page study, “An Empirical Analysis of Racial Differences in Police Use of Force,” appears to support research conducted at Washington State University showing that officers in simulation tests were actually less likely to shoot at blacks than whites.
The paper also challenges the contention by the new wave of civil-rights groups such as Black Lives Matter that racist police are singling out blacks for shootings.
The findings are nothing if not timely, coming after protests spurred by two deadly incidents earlier this month involving black men shot and killed by police in Louisiana and Minnesota.
Their deaths, which are under review, spurred a sniper attack on police Thursday in Dallas during a Black Lives Matter march that left five officers dead and seven injured.
Mr. Fryer’s study found that police are 50 percent more likely to engage in physical interactions with blacks and Hispanics, including touching, pushing and drawing weapons.
“Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities,” the paper said.
The study examined data collected in six Texas cities, three Florida counties and Los Angeles County, as well as New York City’s Stop, Question and Frisk program.
Mr. Fryer said that the “importance of our results for racial inequality is unclear.”
“It is plausible that racial differences in lower level uses of force are simply a distraction and movements such as Black Lives Matter should seek solutions within their own communities rather than changing the behaviors of police and other external forces,” he said in the study’s conclusion.
“Much more troubling, due to their frequency and potential impact on minority belief formation, is the possibility that racial differences in police use of nonlethal force have spillovers on myriad dimensions of racial inequality,” Mr. Fryer said.
It's still shoddy that they're involved in more 'physical interactions' with police than white people, but that's not what BLM is pushing at all, it's all about the narrative of racist cops going round and gunning down innocent black people, which this study suggests simply isn't the case.

The phrases "safe space" "triggered" and "microaggressions" all need to crawl into a hole and die.

Welcome back Wayne
I see no one has addressed the stats that I put up from Chicago, the overwhelming black on black murder rate and the fact that police shootings of blacks or whites are minuscule in comparison. Much better to have a go at the Police rather than address the real issues that cause so many lives to be lost........
