(62,271 posts)The problem is racist prosecutors and racist law enforcement agencies who push incidents under the rug.
The fact that the FBI's data and the CDC and BJS's data are all over the place shows irrefutably that the law enforcement agencies are choosing to report only what they want to report, this actually hinders the DOJ in its ability to address the situation.
But see, that's the problem with woo. He wants the DOJ to magically just start cracking down, without any justified cause, while the OP sees that there is a new civil rights issue brewing which is going to cause legislation which will make these unlawful police agencies start reporting properly, and start dealing with their abusive cops.
Basically woo wants to blame the federal government for police agencies under-reporting and causing the problem to begin with, when they don't do it for their own racist reasons and to protect their own.
A pass is given to the racist police agencies.
