Re: Ferguson now comes to police chases

But two-fifths of the chases of black drivers in 2013-14 involved offenses that appeared far less consequential. They began after officers tried to stop drivers for offenses so minor — including missing registration stickers, a driver without a seatbelt or a car with an engine that was too loud — that some departments would have prohibited a pursuit because the offense posed no danger to the public. Only about one-fifth of deadly pursuits of white drivers began over similar violations.

In Greensboro, N.C., an officer chased a 21-year-old black woman who drove 9 mph under the speed limit, something the city’s police chief later said could be a sign of drug trafficking. The woman fled, crashed and died; police found no drugs in her car.
This is a case of the media looking for a story and slanting it to their narrative.

Here are a few quotes from the story. Apparently they think we are so stupid as to not realize the PROBLEM is the fleeing not the race of the people fleeing. In the first quote if they are being pulled over for a minor traffic stop and they begin to flee it tells the LEO that there is something more than a simple violation which causes him to pursue the violator.

The 'inconvenient truth' is for the most part, whites pull over and the blacks DON'T!!! Simple, I could have written the story in 10 sentences or less
