Even if your points are true and appropriate in general (i.e. firstly, blacks commit more crimes hence are targeted and arrested more and not are arrested more because targeted unjustly (truth IMO is somewhere in between); and secondly it's right for law enforcement to subject people to invasive searches without suspicion beyond skin color), what crimes do you propose blacks are committing disproportionately that explains being pulled over and having their car searched disproportionately? 

Your link shows a whole lot of crime arrests (not convictions) and surely you don't propose that cops expect to find evidence of prostitution on these traffic stops.  When I look at that list two items jump out as being most relevant to car searches:  Motor vehicle theft and driving under the influence.  Put those two together and the total for blacks is barely out of proportion (higher) to the population, while the total for whites is more out of proportion (higher) to the population than blacks.  (82.7%/62% vs 14.0%/12%)  Based on that, cops shouldn't pull over blacks more than whites, if anything the opposite. 

Alot of what you're asking me can be honestly figured out by reading through that info in that link I gave ya. Especially if you bother to look at the info objectively. You're gettin to the point where I can be very sarcastic with ya if I wanted and frankly, this is getting tedious. I said my piece and made my points, I'm done.

I assure you I looked at the data in your table but not all crime is relevant to the practice of cops pulling cars over and searching them.  If you can't or won't answer that question, that's up to you.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
