  • That much more? Not saying it is all "racism/prejudice/etc", but I imagine that plays a part.

    That's right Woody, you're "imagining" it.

    San Francisco is not what I would call a spot where the cops were heavy handed.

  • But 13.4 times higher? Fuck

    The cops were letting gay dudes walk around with their dicks out at the pier when I was there. I think you have to be a real helmet head to get yourself arrested in San Fran.

    I would be interested to see if Asians in San Fran were arrested at a much lower rate than whites there.

  • Got my answer.

    http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/African-Americans-cited-for-resisting-arrest-at-6229946.php

    Asians represent a third of the population but only 3% of those arrested. Whites represented half of the population and 39% of those arrested.

    Are Asians getting preferential treatment?

  • Those numbers from the article you posted actually reflect the percent resisting arrest, not the arrest rates overall.

    You could probably make a strong distinction across financial backgrounds, and how that works into race. Again, I don't think it is all some sort of prejudice, but it can't help.

    So why would that be a factor?

  • In the article they even mention that arrests are much higher for black women as it pertains to narcotics and weapons charges. Crimes with evidence.

    I think the cops are not acting heavy handed. The better question is why are black women getting themselves arrested so much?
