maybe cause latinos have sort of an oath of respect ,and cops are fearful of that.
From: http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=264
(Public Policy Institute: Latino Likely Voters in California, August 2012)
Latinos are 38% of California's population, and most likely more as poor people are always undercounted by the census. They are overwhelimingly workingclass, the 80% of us who sell our labor for less than $77,000 a year, as among Latinos, 45% make less than $40,000 and 33% make $40,000 to $80,000 a year. So, 78% are workingclass. These police state weapons such as deadly tasers exist to terrorize the workingclass into accepting low wages and terrible working conditions so the capitalist class can maximize its profits, the primary goal of capitalism. Now there are no jobs, and the capitalist class has no interest in promoting jobs, so we have a genocide program. The end of this nightmare can only come with a united workingclass able to carry out a general strike to put an end to capitalism.

Hispanics are 38% of the California, and 41% of taser deaths were Hispanic - basically the same. So since taser deaths appear to be proportional to overall population demographics, what is your point? That police aren't disproportionately targeting Hispanics? Because that's what the numbers say.

I would be grateful if, in future, you would provide a link to my Truth ... not tasers website (http://www.truthnottasers.blogspot.com) when you copy names and dates from my "list of the dead". A total of 756 people have died in North America after they were tasered and I will continue to populate the list for as long as I can. A hat tip now and then is always appreciated. Thank you!
