Why does only 2% of Police brutality cases worldwide end with a conviction if just 30% of police brutality is ever reported?

their policies allow officers with "criminal tendencies to operate with impunity,"
only 5% of the initial 30% that gets reported are ever considered
all of the above <-------------
Officers are allowed to "Police" themselves

what is the point of this question? i cant even be bothered to research it as it appears to be based on a load of assumptions that most police are corrupt and/or do a poor job apparently.

how did this get passed as good?

When was Jesus Christ born?
Passover
Christmas <-- marked correct
Easter
Thanksgiving


This question needs to be worded differently, it should be fixed to say something like "When is Jesus Christ's birthday celebrated?" Since scientific study has proven that Jesus's birthday was most likely in may or april not in december whent he catholic church decided to adjust it too when christmas started to take off.

Actually 3 of these are correct, as the word ton covers several units of weight.


A pig is a food animal in my part of the world.


This one needs a date as the population growth rate is much higher in Indonesia than in The USA, so the answer might change, will take some years though.

From what kind of wall built did New York's famous Wall Street derive its name?
Wall built to keep foxes and other preying animals out of the city.
Wall built to keep the Dutch out of the city.
Wall built to keep the Indians and British out of the city.*
Wall built to keep the poor and the rich apart.

I had to hunt for this answer and according to google the only answer I get was and I quote:
"The famous home of the New York Stock Exchange and other financial institutes was named after, believe it or not, a wall (also palisade) built by the Dutch in the 1600s across what was then the north side of settled Manhattan Island to keep out invaders." quote taken from http://www.inetours.com/New_York/Pages/NYC_Streets.html
It does not mention any particular invaders so I would question the british & indians part of the answer as they were not always considered enemies or invaders. Especially not in the 1600's. (100 + years before the american revolution, and trade with indians was not uncommon.
Not only that, but, when you google this question the most you get is that it was named after a wall built by the dutch and thats all it says unless you open the links up to get more info.

Who won the football World Cup in 1934?
Uruguay
Italy*
Germany
Czechoslovakia

This should be reworded to 'Who won the FIFA world cup in 1934?' as Football is a totally different sport in the America. What this question refers to is known as Soccer here in the U.S.

Correct about the dual meaning of football but does the US actually have a football world cup? If i am correct is called Superball. Any thoughts Viridel?

who were the first europeans to colonize alaska ?

the russians <-- this is the answer given even though they are not europeans
the french
the british
the dutch

Russians are Europeans. Russia includes other races that are not European but Russians are a slavic race like Bulgarians, Romanians, etc. So they most defineately are part of the European races

From the sources I have found on the internet there are 6 states and at least 3 territories. In addition to those 3 there are some External territories, that in some sources are counted separately, and in some not.

Though this isn't likely to change any-time soon, it does need a date. Besides the wikipedia lists claimed sales for both The Beetles and Elvis Presley ranging from 600 million to 1billion, the certified sales numbers however are aproximately 242 million and 190 million respectively.

europeans refers to them being from europe
russia is in asia not europe
and then i guess if you want to think of it that way then the first people in alaska would be africains
since as best the scienctists can guess we all came from there
either way it is a wrong answer to the question

Russia East of the Ural is in Asia, the rest is in Europe, 74% of the population of Russia live in Europe. Besides as stekkos pointed out Russians as an ethnic group originate in the European part.

They don't have a word cup, although they do tend to call their champion teams "world champions"
[baseball, am. football and NBA included].

Russians declare themselfs as europeans, and that matters the most, as well as the fact that their capitol city is in europe as well as the population/km2 is by far greater in european part. Tell me how many blonde and blue eyed asians do you know? And that is stereotypical image of russians everyone has in their mind when talking about them.

And to add to dark22, almost 80% of Russians live in the european part of Russia. But the main issue here i imagine is the fact that their ancestors migrated from Asia to Europe. Even so, now they are part of European races. If we would say they are Asians then all of Slavic races should be considered Asians too. Therefore we have almost all of Eastern Europe and the Balkans inhabited by Asians

If we expand it a bit further back, some would also claim that we are all are Africans

Viridel has left the building and is no longer wasting his time and energy by posting his opinions in the Quiz area of the forum.

Which of these is a planet?
Mercury-marked correct
Pluto
Titan
Charon

Both mercury and pluto are planets so this could be a bit misleading.

Not to get in a race war or a continent war, but even when it was thought that the world was 1 big continent ppl not living in the area of africa still wouldn't be considered africans. And as most asian people have NO color in them basically means technical africans never made it very far out of thier respected region.
