So we keep being told it is not about skin color or race or whatever other bullshit but the numbers don’t lie. Again and again and again the disparities against non-whites are alarming.

So alarming that the balance just cannot be explained by anything other than racism.

Ny Daily News highlighted a 2016 report that found that “Black and Hispanic kids accounted for 99% of all public school students handcuffed by NYPD school safety agents in crisis incidents in 2016”

They wrote in their article:

Black and Hispanic kids accounted for 99% of all public school students handcuffed by NYPD school safety agents in crisis incidents in 2016, data published Monday shows.

A “child in crisis” incident is one where a student displaying signs of emotional distress is removed from the classroom and taken to a hospital for a psychological evaluation.

In 2016, there were 262 child in crisis incidents where handcuffs were used, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union, which first reported the data — and all but three of those incidents, or 259, involved black or Latino children.

NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman said kids who are subject to police action in school suffer academically and emotionally.

“When a child is handcuffed, the child is humiliated,” Lieberman said.

“It’s incompatible with the safe and supportive learning environment a school is supposed to provide,” Lieberman added.

This is really beyond alarming. Read the full article here and let us know what you think. Is there any other explanation?
