i. No, the quote does no such thing.
ii.DonDiego did not justify the police choosing to confront Blacks. What he did do was provide statistics addressing the fact that in the United States the Black population exhibits a higher crime rate than others. Therefore, it is inevitable that in the performance of their duties police will confront Blacks disproportionately more often than their population would indicate...

QuoteI already provided the applicable quote. You justify the police choosing to confront blacks based on crime statistics.

Really? Color me skeptical, but at the very least your advocacy that the police confront blacks diproportionately was seriously piss-poor language. Because African-Americans are confronted every time they are stopped for DWB (Driving While Black). Same thing when they are stopped and frisked and confroned disproportionately to the likelihood they are carrying weapons. How about the police confronting a black man for openly carrying a gun in an open carry state? Same with DUI checkpoints in black neighborhoods, when white neighborhoods with higher DUI rates are not targeted. And so on.
Maybe DonDiego should join Black Lives Matters in condemning the above. Or maybe he prefers it as a way to keep them in their place.
