New data shows race disparities in Canada's bail system

Black people in Canada’s most populous province spent longer behind bars awaiting trial than white people charged with many of the same categories of crimes in each of the past five years, according to data obtained by Reuters.

Between April 2015 and April 2016, the most recent period in which data is available, black people awaiting trial in Ontario jails were there longer, on average, than white people charged with the same crime in 11 of 16 offense categories Reuters examined. There were approximately 6,000 black people and nearly 26,000 white people remanded to pre-trial detention during the period.
The data showed similar patterns in the four prior years. (Graphic: Racial disparities in pre-trial detention - tmsnrt.rs/2z18vS7)
Among the categories examined, black people spent almost twice as long in remand in 2015-2016 for weapons offenses, equivalent to an additional 38 days. They also spent 46 percent longer for serious violent offenses and 36 percent longer on charges of obstructing justice.
In three categories, white people awaiting trial were held longer in remand during the same period. Those included drug possession, theft and traffic offenses. In two categories, the difference was 1 percent or less.
The data also showed black people arrested and held in custody between 2011 and 2016 were more likely than white people to spend more than a year in pre-trial detention.

Clearly your heart bleeds for black people in Canada. Does it for those in the US?

Somehow, I doubt it. This is just more of your partisan hack BS.

As far as tenting illegal immigrants goes, I'm pretty sure you love Sheriff Joe:

Did your heart bleed for them too?

Speaking of Sheriff Joe:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ion/782890001/

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Thursday denied former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's request to vacate his criminal contempt conviction after he was pardoned by President Trump. In her ruling, Bolton said while Trump's pardon "undoubtedly spared Defendant from any punishment that might otherwise have been imposed. It did not, however, 'revise the historical facts' of this case."
Bolton found Arpaio guilty of criminal contempt in July, saying the former lawman showed “flagrant disregard” for another federal judge’s order that halted his signature immigration roundups on grounds his department was racially profiling people.

Now that I bet, makes your heart bleed.

One friend of mine who is black, has told me that there are just certain places you never go, especially if you're a black man. If he has to drive through Indiana for business, he makes sure that he has enough gas in his car to drive all the way through the state without stopping. He keeps an empty gallon jug in his car in case he needs to take a piss. His boyfriend, who is my best friend and white, attests to this.

Black people will get blamed and sent to jail even if they didn't do anything. That is something you need to understand, Common. It's disgusting to me that in 2017, a black man has to be that careful in certain areas of the country and feel that afraid.

Now, many of us have said to him, "You're being ridiculous! You're way oversensitive." But yet, we see him treated differently by other people when we travel out of the city in more rural areas, even though he is with us white folk, for no other reason than the fact that he's black. It's very obvious when it happens, and it makes me sick.

But you, are worried about Canada. Tell you what, when you start worrying about what happens in the US first, I'll listen to you about Canada.

Because I visit Canada quite frequently. And they definitely have leg up on us when it comes to race relations.

I'm going to bed now. But I have to ask, do you even know any black people? Do you even have any as close friends?

Or are they simply this monolithic entity in your mind that cause all the problems this country?

Funny...when @Common Sense posts his opinion about something, the right loses their $#@! because they can't argue against it, so they turn to denigrating Canada and asking why he is even posting on an American board....

But, when a topic can deflect from America's issues on race, there is no qualms in attempting to include Canada in their discussion.....

'murica.

Some rude people here. Common shows concern and the SJWs jump all over him.

Captain Inconsistency to the rescue.....

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

There is an easy way to avoid jail. I've never been.
