8:21Now PlayingA CNN panel recently got a little heated when former NYPD detective Harry Houck said black people are more prone to criminality. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Former NYPD detective Harry Houck on Monday argued that the black Americans were “prone to criminality,” and that activists should stop claiming that blacks were being “picked on” by law enforcement.
During a panel discussion on CNN’s New Day about police killing two black men, Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, Houck argued that “racial demagogues” were wrong to complain about “disparities of blacks and whites in jails.”
Houck presented a sheet of paper which he said had statistics proving that black people were far more likely to commit violent crimes than whites.
“That’s why there are more blacks in jail than there are whites,” he insisted. “They turn it around — the racial demagogues out there — turn it around that the blacks are being picked on.”
CNN commentator Mark Lamont Hill pointed out that an investigation in Ferguson, Missouri found that there was “considerable evidence of racism” in the police department.”*
