K.K. Rebecca LaiData shows racial disparities in the use of force by Memphis police officers.
Black residents of Memphis, who make up two-thirds of the city’s population of 628,000, are significantly more likely than white residents to be the subjects of police use of force. In thousands of encounters since 2016 in which officers used force, 86 percent of the subjects were Black, according to city data.
On a per capita basis, the data shows that Black residents were subjects of police use of force at a rate nearly three times that of white residents, and eight times that of Hispanic residents.
A correction was made on Jan. 27, 2023:
An earlier version of this article incorrectly indicated the rate at which Black residents experience police use of force compared with white residents. Black residents experience police use of force at nearly three times the rate of white residents. They are not six times as likely to be subjected to such force.
According to FBI UCR statistics, the Memphis police department reported that from 2016-2020, blacks made up 904 out of 970 known homicide perpetrators. That’s 93%.
But, according to the NYT, blacks made up only 86% of subjects of use of force by the MPD.

By 4Honesty.com ‘s principle of TOTAL HONESTY through FULL DISCLOSURE the following omissions serve to mislead the reader
incomplete information needs FULL DISCLOSURE
how many times more Blacks are likely
to resist arrest, explain different leves of resistance from being uppity to deadly force
to attack police,
to lack respect
and are given a pass by police for their race (why are only 3 times as many Blacks arrested if they commit 10 times as much crime)
If the above questions are not mentioned, the article is misleading, anti-scientific and should be assailed as such.
We also devised the PC Obfuscation index, how many relevant pieces of information are omitted
It is also of relevance of interest to what extent Blacks are more likely
to commit violent crimes towards non-police
to be under parole
to have prior
to drive wrong,
lack tail lights, run stop signs,
speed ing,
and in general how much likely to rob, steal, take drugs, murder, rape,
Well, I think this resolves the age-old silly black person’s question:
Q: What if they weren’t no damned white people in America?
A: Quadruple the annual number of black bodies pile up to the heavens, with no white folks from anywhere else in the world coming to your rescue.
Multiple outlets are desperate to deflect in any way to shield this Black on Black crime. Some attempts are more outlandish than others. Here is Van Jones Op-Ed from CNN:

It looked like Tyre Nichols was on cocaine and heroin (a speedball). If you get tazed while on coke, you will have a heart attack because of a sodium channel shutting off. I imagine this is why he died. He really wasn’t beaten nearly as bad as I had thought he was.
When he escaped the cops after the stop, one of the cops was trying to pepper spray him and hit another cop in the face enough to get him in the eyes. This seemed to really make a couple of the cops mad. If the kid would have rolled over and put his hands behind his back and allowed himself to be cuffed, none of this would have happened.
Out-of-town people are going to come do Memphis and wreak havoc. I’m guessing the Deep State really wants the Project Veritas video memory-holed quickly as the Pfizer employee admitted that they are passing new strains back and forth between monkeys in their labs, trying to make a new strain that people will need new boosters against as a never-ending revenue stream. You can count on the media to pull out all the stops to cover for this, and fanning racial flames are their premier tactic.

So it joins the ranks of the commonly circulating "cold and flu" viruses that we just live with. That's what already happened with omicron variants.
Pfizer would have to find a mutation that:

“Systemic racism” means a group of black police officers, commanded by a black (female) police chief, violently beats down (including with soccer kicks) a suspect, and it’s still racism and society’s fault. That’s actually right – it is the society’s fault, but not in the way the Narrative is intended. If there weren’t AA, and competent, psychologically stable individuals were sworn in and well-led by a capable leader, the chance of this kind of a horror show would have been minimized greatly (though not altogether eliminated).
This is yet another consequence of sanity and practicality being sacrificed at the altar of the ideology of Diversity.

For the record, it isn’t clear that Walker is/was a Pfizer employee. It looks like he is (or perhaps was) with a consulting firm (Boston Consulting Group) that worked with Pfizer. None the less, what he said is interesting, and perhaps damning. The way that the story was scrubbed from the media (you could see it happening even as it happened) was also very illuminating. It looks like Pfizer’s lawyers were out in force warning people off of any coverage of the story.

The New York Post top page is great: “SENSELESS” above the five mugshots of the black cops.
The released video is just a garden variety black dustup. I don’t understand the shock. Haven’t these people ever watched WorldStarHipHop? The cops, if anything were fighting girly style for blacks.
Georgia is 33% black, but only 3.2% of its surface area is water. In contrast, Maine is 1.9% black, yet 12.8% of its surface area is water.
What accounts for this disparity!?

Oh’s Sicky’s…
It’s not crazy, New Dealer. Blacks are uncomfortable IN the water, and maybe this even applies to being in the vicinity of a view of water. This could be due – – my theory – – to ancient African wiring that unconsciously tells them that they might get eaten by crocodiles. Probably real estate brokers who sell lakeview and non-lakeview homes would know if middle-class blacks tend to pass on the waterview homes.
Btw, fascinating fact of the day: A study by paleontologists a few years ago found that millions of years ago, African crocodiles surfed across the Atlantic to South America!

A minor local story, cops take down a black miscreant, and BAM it’s national news. The disconnect between the importance of the event and the magnitude of the coverage is off the charts. What’s the game here? My inference is that the evil media and ruling class won’t rest until all black misbehavior is unpunished, and until anyone who favors law and order is silenced or maybe imprisoned. They will call this “justice” or “equity” or something. Stay safe, steer clear of the sacred criminals and their enablers.
There does seem to be an effort to act like stock characters in a bad novel by the media.
I thought it was funny in the movie, but I never thought reality could become so warped that I would be experiencing it in real life!

The trick is of course sufficiently escaping vaccine and natural immunity, really, creating a new strain that should be called SARS-CoV-3 just like SARS-CoV-2 was different from SARS-CoV(-1), MERS-CoV and the four endemic human coronaviruses, one of which some suspect caused the late 19th Century "Russian Flu."Is not yet a real problem for Fauci's NIH institute or the EcoHealth Alliance, the latter of which was reported to have gotten another, I think not-NIH grant very recently.
Also note Pfizer admits to what was said to a degree (line breaks added):We don't know yet if that's a modified limited hangout. (Oh, the joys of noticing, that modification of "limited hangout" came from (((John Ehrlichman))).)
This however does not necessarily equal using non-human primates for crude serial passage gain of function experimentation which is something that caught my eye, because they're expensive animals to do research with. On the other hand there's lots of them that have been "burned" so to speak for a variety of experiments since they now have adaptive immune system responses to SARS-CoV-2 and plenty I assume to multiple variants.
My other question is what coronavirus would they start with, which would be noticed once it was sequenced? But again that's not been proven to be a problem.... This method implies you're starting with a new coronavirus or other respiratory virus that's not well adapted to humans, because as you note a lab with a few monkeys can't compete with an endemic in trillions of humans virus strain.
The first gain of function research experiments that got published and freaked out sane people used avian flu on ferrets, who are a preferred animal model for respiratory diseases. Nowadays we've got partly "humanized" mice, that is chimeric ones with here human lung cells, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) did some work with those.
Note here Pfizer claims to be doing this at BSL-3, which is considered to be the minimum for SARS-CoV-2 work. But any gain of function research should be done in BSL-4 labs as BU did, but there aren't many, 13-14 in the US, they're booked up, would likely ask inconvenient questions, and each level is progressively more annoying and difficult to work in. One of the things that freaked us out about the above true Mad Scientist flu experiments was that they were done in BSL-2 labs, just like the WIV experiments that gave us SARS-CoV-2 a decade later.Replies: @Twinkie, @Nicholas Stix
After all, no one even claims any more that they actually eliminate the virus -- they supposedly just ameliorate its effects. So now you can have the virus -- and feel up to going to the grocery store and sharing it!
For some reason, that is held to be an improvement. All through this, there was a perceptible aversion to just doing nothing -- even though for most people in most places, that would have been the best policy.
It was sheer stupidity, over all. God forbid just accepting it.Replies: @That Would Be Telling
Robert Malone, interviewed by Tucker, made a good point. If they are doing this, it tends to prove that the mRNA technique for making vaccines is a failure. The whole rationale behind it was to be able to quickly come up with a vaccine for a new pathogen. But by creating permutations of the virus to be able to get ahead of it - to see into the future, if you will - they are kind of admitting that they can't create a vaccine as fast as they said they could. Of course, the vaccines don't even work very well or - after enough boosters - at all, as we now know.
related to that, many in the “inner city” have little experience outside the ‘hood and believe crime is just as bad in white neighborhooods, but the racist cops choose to pick on po’ black folk.

That’s might be only so difficult, since for someone without any immunity even the current Omicron variants are likely to be worse than the typical flu, which is pretty nasty. Thus avoiding the “make you too sick to spread it well” problem you touch on.

Is not yet a real problem for Fauci’s NIH institute or the EcoHealth Alliance, the latter of which was reported to have gotten another, I think not-NIH grant very recently.
Also note Pfizer admits to what was said to a degree (line breaks added):
We don’t know yet if that’s a modified limited hangout. (Oh, the joys of noticing, that modification of “limited hangout” came from (((John Ehrlichman))).)
This however does not necessarily equal using non-human primates for crude serial passage gain of function experimentation which is something that caught my eye, because they’re expensive animals to do research with. On the other hand there’s lots of them that have been “burned” so to speak for a variety of experiments since they now have adaptive immune system responses to SARS-CoV-2 and plenty I assume to multiple variants.
My other question is what coronavirus would they start with, which would be noticed once it was sequenced? But again that’s not been proven to be a problem…. This method implies you’re starting with a new coronavirus or other respiratory virus that’s not well adapted to humans, because as you note a lab with a few monkeys can’t compete with an endemic in trillions of humans virus strain.
The first gain of function research experiments that got published and freaked out sane people used avian flu on ferrets, who are a preferred animal model for respiratory diseases. Nowadays we’ve got partly “humanized” mice, that is chimeric ones with here human lung cells, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) did some work with those.
Note here Pfizer claims to be doing this at BSL-3, which is considered to be the minimum for SARS-CoV-2 work. But any gain of function research should be done in BSL-4 labs as BU did, but there aren’t many, 13-14 in the US, they’re booked up, would likely ask inconvenient questions, and each level is progressively more annoying and difficult to work in. One of the things that freaked us out about the above true Mad Scientist flu experiments was that they were done in BSL-2 labs, just like the WIV experiments that gave us SARS-CoV-2 a decade later.
Well, I finally got it this year and it was worse than any flu I ever had. Several days of high fever, violent shakes and chill, burning throat, and coughing up blood from my lungs. Felt like death. Finally had Paxlovid and symptoms started to go away within 4 doses of a 10 dose regimen (2 doses per day, 5 days).
I wish I had gotten the second booster. It probably wouldn’t have prevented it, but would have moderated the severity.

But this is unlikely to work very well. Pfizer is huge but this thing has been out of the Wuhan lab for three+ years now and in tens of millions of people doing trillions of replications as we speak. Hard for a lab to "compete" with that.
There were only two reasonable end points for this once "out".
-- A moderately sterilizing vaccine--enough to break endemic transmission. (Didn't happen.)
-- Selection pushes it toward something more highly infectious, but in the process also tends to generate something that doesn't put you on your ass and out of commission (and ergo not out spreading it). So it joins the ranks of the commonly circulating "cold and flu" viruses that we just live with. That's what already happened with omicron variants.
Pfizer would have to find a mutation that:
-- different enough to significantly beats current built up "seen something like this before" immune protect
-- spreads really well
-- is again much worse than typical cold/flu so that people want to run out and get boosted
and
-- avoid anyone spilling the beans which would land them in prison and destroy the company with legal liabilityReplies: @That Would Be Telling, @Colin Wright, @Mr. Anon
Don’t the vaccines we’ve so insistently administered supposedly accomplish at least half that?
After all, no one even claims any more that they actually eliminate the virus — they supposedly just ameliorate its effects. So now you can have the virus — and feel up to going to the grocery store and sharing it!
For some reason, that is held to be an improvement. All through this, there was a perceptible aversion to just doing nothing — even though for most people in most places, that would have been the best policy.
It was sheer stupidity, over all. God forbid just accepting it.
Doing nothing as you later advocate would have not just killed and disabled a lot more people, it would have caused many more failures to bend the curve where we would have disproportionately lost people because we wouldn't have, for example, been able to supply all the bad cases with oxygen. As I keep saying, that happened in my local region once during the Delta wave and people died as a result.Replies: @Colin Wright

Exactly. If what walker said is true, it not only proves that Pfizer is nefarious (well, we all knew that anyway), but that they are stupid. The key thing about mutations is that they are random. Even if you see a given mutation in your lab, it doesn’t mean that same mutation would be occur even in another lab, let alone in the wild.
Robert Malone, interviewed by Tucker, made a good point. If they are doing this, it tends to prove that the mRNA technique for making vaccines is a failure. The whole rationale behind it was to be able to quickly come up with a vaccine for a new pathogen. But by creating permutations of the virus to be able to get ahead of it – to see into the future, if you will – they are kind of admitting that they can’t create a vaccine as fast as they said they could. Of course, the vaccines don’t even work very well or – after enough boosters – at all, as we now know.
The trick is of course sufficiently escaping vaccine and natural immunity, really, creating a new strain that should be called SARS-CoV-3 just like SARS-CoV-2 was different from SARS-CoV(-1), MERS-CoV and the four endemic human coronaviruses, one of which some suspect caused the late 19th Century "Russian Flu."Is not yet a real problem for Fauci's NIH institute or the EcoHealth Alliance, the latter of which was reported to have gotten another, I think not-NIH grant very recently.

Can confirm. I got the two doses of Pfizer plus one booster. I neglected the second booster, figuring Omicron and the subsequent variants weren’t so bad. One of my teenage sons got Covid last year and was well after a day of very mild illness.
Well, I finally got it this year and it was worse than any flu I ever had. Several days of high fever, violent shakes and chill, burning throat, and coughing up blood from my lungs. Felt like death. Finally had Paxlovid and symptoms started to go away within 4 doses of a 10 dose regimen (2 doses per day, 5 days).

I read a City Journal article a couple of years back that pointed out that black cops are more likely to use lethal force on suspects than white cops.

Either way, it wouldn’t be a surprise if black cop behavior had similar trends to black non-cop behavior. They are going to be that much more violent than their white peers

Because “ameliorate its effects” is a spectrum! You think it’s nothing that a bunch of people’s illness was and is ameliorated to the point they don’t die?? That presumably morbidity including delayed death is decreased going down the scale? Someone’s got numbers on that now, like the WUSTL group that did that first pre-vaccine study on all of the above in people who used the VA health system.

Frankly, the life of an eighty-something who had so many co-morbidities that he was statistically unlikely to last another six months (and I say this as a sixty four year-old myself) is not equal to that of a twenty four year old who dies of a fentanyl overdose out of boredom when in a few years he quite likely would have more or less straightened out absent all our bullshit.
Certainly, when it's objectively evident a health crisis is erupting -- New York City, for example -- measures would be reasonable, but around here...
Shit, it was all the crap, businesses being wrecked -- and a few 'eighty-somethings who had so many co-morbidities that they were statistically unlikely to last another six months.'
