Black drivers are 85 percent more likely to be stopped in Missouri than whites
Attorney General Josh Hawley on Friday released his office's annual Vehicle Stops Report.
The 'disparity index' comparing traffic stops among races showed a jump from last year, when blacks were 75 percent more likely than whites to be stopped.
How do we change this? Civil war or more representation.
How do we achieve better representation. Separate political party...why hasn’t it happened yet? Through the Republican Party...good luck. Stop downing Democrats and change the party like the Tea Party did with republicans.
- Missouri law enforcement stopped black drivers at a rate 85 percent higher than white drivers last year
- In the eighteen years since this figure has been documented, the disparity has never been so great
- White drivers were less likely to be stopped, searched or arrested
- However, those who were stopped and searched were more likely to be found with contraband than black or Hispanic drivers
