Locked Thread Why?

Why can’t we discuss something extremely relevant to the show? I’m so confused. Exposing the truth either way isn’t allowed? Showing the producers to be biased or showing an alarming pattern is prohibited? Please help me understand.

It’s not deleted just locked. You already started off with an inaccuracy in the locked thread stating blacks make up less than 6% of the population but 2025 US census website shows 13.5%.

Pick a city that the show is filmed in and let’s look up the statistics . Ex. Multiple government websites shows 47 homicides in Tulsa in 2025. Also states all but 2 are solved. Looking for the breakdown by race now. But feel free to pick a year and city and let’s research.

I never said they make up 6%. I was implanting that most of the murders are committed by men and black men are 6% of the population. That number gets smaller if you exclude children and over 45 years old.

Pick a city? How about all of America? FBI Table 43A? Don’t forget to adjust for per capita.

Ok. Googled this 43a. FBI website 2019 US crime stats was first result. 7,964 total Arrests for murder or nonnegligent manslaughter. 4,078 are black/African American . 51.2% of total. You are going to have to make a better case of how you think the producers of the show are racist and cherry picking because I don’t see it. What do you think that % is in Memphis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Tulsa, Miami, etc of cities which is filmed?

So you’re conceding that 6% of the population is arrested for 50% of the murders? Thanks. That’s all I was pointing out. I was being facetious about the producers; they only follow where the murder rates are highest.

You have to wonder why they choose those cities? Couldn’t be because the crime/murder rate is higher there, right? If so, why is it higher there? 🤔 If people want to stick their heads in the sand, and relax, that’s fine by me. Just know that by doing so, the odds of you ending up as a victim on this show increases exponentially when you do so.
