Galaxy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Friday. I’ll be honest, this has really messed me up. This house is not the same without El Jefe and I’m gonna miss him forever. Hasta la próxima chiquito. You were the goodest boy.

@piezol1 @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Let me see if I can find some more current data, even if it is incomplete due to some states not reporting.

@piezol1 @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Most crime is intraracial, not interracial. Here’s some data from the FBI that may help drive home the point. This is UCR data, so it is dated. They haven’t completely rolled out NIBRS data because not all states are compliant. Source: ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u…

I hate the narrative that women are more emotional than men. Actually no. Men make up 90% of prison populations…because they can’t control their anger, lust, or addictions.

@Regasorrilian @piezol1 @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Not true, but you’re entitled to your own, albeit wrong, opinion.

@teemcee @piezol1 @RangaClara @ABmrJutt You’re just flooding the feed with noise to cover up that you’re comfortable pathologizing an entire demographic this way, but are incapable of owning it all the way down.”

@piezol1 @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt You’re not claiming otherwise, are you?

@piezol1 @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt You keep changing the subject here. I didn’t say it was white people who killed all the Black people. Crime generally happens with proximity. But that doesn’t have anything to do with men being more violent than women, which was the original point of this tweet.

@piezol1 @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt I know what the statistics say. I also know that law enforcement is not more lenient toward Blacks. If you’ve read a legitimate source that says otherwise, I’d love to review it. Instead, it sounds like you’re making shit up as you go.

@teemcee @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Buddy. Blacks make 13% of US population, but 64% of prisoners. And that's despice police officers being more lenient toward blacks.

@piezol1 @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Show me your data.

@teemcee @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Except they commit crimes more often than whites in literally every country? But you will just deny it and call it racism.

@piezol1 @RangaClara @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt It’s not hard to say. Black men have been perceived to be more violent in this country since the moment they set foot on the soil. Native Americans were once perceived as “savages” too. Currently, Hispanics are painted as violent gang members. These are all tropes from, white ppl

@teemcee @RangaClara @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Or you could say, that men are more likely to be prisoners because of inherent misandry. But instead you say "men are more violent than women". Why is it so difficult to admit that black men are more violent than white men, even though the difference is larger thanbetweengenders?

@orntwo @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Those are factors, yes. They are the sole factors, as you know.

@teemcee @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Bad choices, higher risk tolerance than females.

@piezol1 @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt This isn’t borne out by any studies I’ve read lol. If you’d like to share your data, I’d love to read it.

@teemcee @Regasorrilian @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Except it's the other way around. Black people are much more likely to commit crimes. And they're underrepresented among prisoners.

@Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Life is much harder when you don’t have access to basic support. That’s true for all races, but it affects many minority populations to a greater degree because they’re more likely to live in poverty and all that it entails. That’s not to say the wealthy can’t be criminals tho!

@teemcee @ABmrJutt What… like life being hard sometimes and stuff?

@piezol1 @RangaClara @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt I said men are more violent, because it’s a true statement. I’m not sure why you’re attempting to argue that it’s not. Minority populations are over represented in incarceration statistics, yes. But there are reasons beyond the actual crime that led to this.

@teemcee @RangaClara @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Neither is "gender", but you specifically blamed men for violence. But when it's "black", suddenly you have to fall back to "race isn't a factor". Funny, huh?

@Regasorrilian @piezol1 @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Yes, racism does play a part in the overcriminalization of Black people. Black people are more likely to be cited or arrested for similar crimes than are white people. That is another factor that accounts for some Black men being jailed or imprisoned. It’s not the only reason.

@teemcee @piezol1 @RangaClara @ABmrJutt Statistically a specifically black men, if we use your prison population statistics. Sounds kinda racist by your own standards.

@Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt I said there were a number of factors.

@teemcee @ABmrJutt What did you say then?

@orntwo @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Did I include all factors? No. This is Twitter. I’m not writing a dissertation here. I merely pointed out SOME of the factors that lead to crime. You appear to be a male. Why don’t you elaborate on why some men, especially under the age of 30, have a propensity for violence?

@teemcee @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Did you read your “number of factors tweet?” Where is agency in your factors?

@Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Reduce and eliminate some of the stressors that lead to crime.

@teemcee @ABmrJutt What do we “do”?

@piezol1 @RangaClara @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt No. I think when we look at cases across the country, we see outliers like the Ahmaud Abery, where race was a factor in his death, and those cases dominate the news cycle. The majority of cases where crimes are being committed, race isn’t a factor either way.

@teemcee @RangaClara @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Except any kind of law obedience is painted as "racism" in US. You're assaulted by a guy with a knife and somehow you've managed to defend yourself? You're racist.

@piezol1 @RangaClara @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Not sure what affirmative action has to do with this subject. White women benefited the most from affirmative action policies in the decades it was in effect. That has little to do with the fact that males are historically more violent and more likely to be criminals in the US.

@piezol1 @RangaClara @Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt Hardly. The only way to “create another George Floyd situation” is to violate someone’s rights to the point of homicide. I don’t think most in law enforcement are willing to do that, or at least that was my experience when I worked in the field as a civilian.

@Regasorrilian @ABmrJutt No. That’s not what I said at all.

@teemcee @ABmrJutt So crime is someone else’s fault?
