I don’t care about whatever point Alkash thinks he’s making, but he’s repeatedly posting links with misleading titles and that should be a warnable offense. Of course, when I do it, it’s funny.

Brackett approached Hall and attempted to arrest him, police said, but Hall resisted and a struggle ensued. Police said Hall got into his car during the struggle and attempted to drive away – and that Brackett fired at him. Hall was pronounced dead at the scene. Since the articles do not mention race, I bet you Hall was white. ---

Don’t think there’ll be a lot of takers on that bet–it’s almost a mathematical certainty that Hall was exactly that–white. In the meantime, [a group of three whites assaults, robs and terrorizes a black night-shift gas station clerk](http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c46_1437690121) The police description has a slight undertones of sarcastic “no shit” to it: “Suspect #2 Is a white male, Suspect #3 Is a white male” It’s a safe bet that a federal investigation will be launched into the police procedures, for daring to identify the criminals as “white”. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > Yeah, your society is pretty fucked up (as is mine to a lesser degree), but you’re not helping by misrepresentation. So, what would accurate representation be? I mean, we all know that once you get a population above a particular size, you can cherry-pick examples of bad behaviors, and list them out in litany form to prove that those Group-Members are all terrible people, just look at these dozen examples (in a sample size of millions). So, can we get the accurate representation, then? Would someone like to post the current actual data on violent interracial criminal encounters, so we can stem the misprepresentative tide of links and replace it with the actual data? ---

[Moderating] **Alkash** , this is a formal warning for trolling the Straight Dope. You will stop link spamming the “Controversial encounters between law-enforcement and civilians” thread immediately, and going forward, you will not post deliberately deceptive descriptions of a link’s contents in any forum. If you want to participate in the boards, put forward a position and argue for or against it, without misrepresenting yourself or any links you use to demonstrate your arguments. Failure to do this will result in a removal of your ability to post at the SDMB. [/Moderating] ---
