    Frontline's Sarah Childress writes:

    Whites who kill blacks in Stand Your Ground states are far more likely to be found justified in their killings. In non-Stand Your Ground states, whites are 250 percent more likely to be found justified in killing a black person than a white person who kills another white person; in Stand Your Ground states, that number jumps to 354 percent.

    When compared with black on non-black crime it appears that not enough non-black people are defending themselves appropriately.

  20. Re:Who watches the watchers on Should Cops Wear Google Glass? · · Score: 1

    I know of three people that joined the South Australian Police. They all resigned after less than a year out of cadet school. Two of them said that they couldn't stand that they were essentially forced to be bullies and the third was a policewoman who left because of sexual harassment from other female officers(you can work that one out yourself).
    They were having such problems filling the ranks that they brought in recruits from the UK. Apparently quite a few of the UK recruits returned to the UK rather than stay in Australia as they didn't like the policing style.
    My wife is a children's author with over 20 published works and one day I pulled over to answer my cellphone. The cops pulled up a few minutes later and engaged me in conversation. They asked me how old my kids were as there were a lot of kids books in the car and when I said none I was accused of being a pedophile and using the books as 'kiddie bait'. Next thing I know one of the officers has bent down and picked up a bag of syringes from the road(supposedly) which he then accused me of dumping on the road when I saw them. While I was distracted by this one officer another one had reached through the window of my car and had taken out my mobile phone and started checking it out. I cannot say for sure what he was doing but he did have a pen and paper and was writing. I snatched my phone back and was subsequently handcuffed and threatened with a charge for assaulting police and at this point they tore my car apart looking for evidence of any wrongdoing on my part. Thirty or so minutes later I was released and when I tried to make a complaint later that day I was told that there was no record of me being stopped that day.
    This is the same police force who ignored and then coincidentally lost a written statement I made in which I described my assailant and gave his car registration details when I was threatened with a knife after accepting a lift hitchhiking by a man who told me he had helped to kill Richard Kelvin and that my body would be found 'all over the place' when he was finished with me. I still have some scarring from when I bailed out of the moving car as i truly believed at the time that he was going to kill me.
