Look at the Ferguson records for car pull overs by race AND the results!

7. The trouble with statistics

They can be interpreted a lot of different ways.

For example, if they are "routinely" pulling over black drivers then it stands to reason that a lot of those people would be innocent of any infraction and do not have contraband in the car.

If the ONLY white drivers they are pulling over are those that are acting in such a suspicious manner that the police feel the need to pull them over (for example), then it stands to reason that a higher percentage of these drivers might be engaged in illegal activities and carrying contraband.

Start routinely pulling over white drivers for no good reason and the numbers might reach equilibrium.

The real issue is why police feel they have a right to pull people over for "driving while black".
