Sure in lib-tard loony land where everybody is a racist. However most people are not racist,xenophobic or anti-Muslim. If all these cop shooting a suspect cases happened in one location with the exact same scenario with the same judge. jury and prosecutor and only black cops were found guilty then sure you could claim those people were racist. The fact is these cases happen all over with different judges, different prosecutors and different juries and the events that led to the cops shooting the suspects also happen differently. So you can not reasonably claim racism or anti-Muslim bigotry had anything to do with whether or not a cop gets found guilty or not of shooting a suspect. Using your logic we could assume the cop was found guilty because the jury was biased against cops.
Yes, sure, I knew that language like "lib-tard" was coming... the hallmark of someone who doesn't have a valid point is to call names.
Yes, what you are saying is basically true when looking at one individual jury, bud doesn't make it any less STATISTICALLY PROBABLE that the odds of bias INCREASE when you have a homogeneous jury that is passing judgment on a case whose defendant is the opposite of them. Which is why lawyers do jury selection and try to veto jurors, something you've never explained. I guess you don't understand the concepts of statistics and probability.
Look, let's say you are a white Christian US-born American male and you kill a black foreign-born Muslim female.
Just tell me, you hire a lawyer and the lawyer tries to engage in jury selection.
Let's hypothetically say (as improbable as it might be) that there are two options for the characteristics of the jury; there are 24 jurors left and potentially we could end up with:
Jury A, made exclusively of 12 white Christian US-born males.
Jury B, made exclusively of 12 black foreign-born Muslim females.
Or a mix, or some approximation of these two options, after the two sides square out in juror selection.
Please tell me what your response would be, if your lawyer told you: "Mr. Jamesrage, through juror selection I can try to steer the juror pool to get us as close as we can to Jury A. Or we can just let go, do nothing, and most likely the other side will make us end up as close as they can to Jury B. What do you want me to do? Do you prefer Jury A or Jury B?"
Jamesrage, please just give me your best honest answer. No BS about how you can't know for sure, you can't assume that people are racist, sexist, xenophobe, religious intolerant, etc., etc. Sure, I agree, you can't. Not with certainty. But certain things are STATISTICALLY MORE LIKELY than others. So, don't beat around the bush, just tell me, if you saw yourself in this situation, what would your answer be?
Would you prefer Jury A, or Jury B?
No other option. I'm asking for a direct, straightforward answer. A or B?
Man up and give me your honest answer. We'll see.
If you say Jury A, you're thinking in logical, statistical, probability-informed terms, and you are not a fool.
If you say Jury B or "either one, it doesn't matter" then, sorry, but you are a fool (and I don't mean it as name-calling; it's just a fact, as NOBODY in his sane mind and with a thinking brain, in this situation, would fail to pick Jury A).
Again, the simple fact that juror selection exists, proves my point, and disproves yours. Statistically speaking, jurors ARE more likely to be biased against people who are very different.
Sure, it's not 100%, nor exact science. It's just a matter of probability.
Let's say, the odds that Jury A would be biased for you, would be, say, 10% more likely than not (maybe in 90% of cases it wouldn't make a difference, but 10% is larger than 0%), while the odds that Jury B would be biased against you, would be, say, 10% more likely than not.
Question, with your life at stake, wouldn't you want the stats to be for you rather than against you??? Wouldn't you rather take 10% for rather than 10% against, which would be a net difference of 20%?
If someone gave you a gun with five slots and one bullet and told you "let's play Russian Roulette, fire a shot with this gun against your head", would you? It's also a 20% chance.
