[quote]For the record, whites committed 64% of motor vehicle theft in 2011, while blacks were responsible for only 33.9%, according to FBI statistics.

First problem with that is that the FBI classifies hispanics as white. The guys above don't look very much like the white guy do they? As long as we're saying this was because of appearance, that matters.
Blacks make up 14.2% of the population.

By your statistics, 17,250 cases of motor vehicle theft were committed by Blacks.
Also by your statistics, 32,575 cases of motor vehicle theft were committed by Whites/Hispanics.
Assuming that the incidence of repeat offenders is equal between the races and can therefore be normalized to 0, we can estimate that:
1 in every 2,257 blacks will commit auto theft.
1 in every 6,863 whites/hispanics will commit auto theft.
If we're going by raw crime statistics, it makes more sense to profile the black man.
WHOAH MATH CAN MAKE POINTLESS RACEBAITING GO BOTH WAYS?!?!
Not to mention there's plenty in this video to make the example seem questionable. The two different instances were clearly shot in different neighborhoods, there's nothing to indicate that the police weren't notified in either instance, and if the two events really happened in the order presented, there was a short time between both, and they occurred near each other, the first incidence may have had an effect on the response to the second.
There's nothing substantive here; just racebait. Criminals are criminals no matter what color. Blacks that don't choose that lifestyle shouldn't feel obligated to make excuses for those that do, and they certainly don't need you to make excuses for them.

Your math is all fine and good, but when it comes down to it, the police are going to suspect the black guy more than the white guy even if he isn't going to commit a crime. Especially in LA. I know because I grew up there. It's racial profiling and it's wrong.
