let me show y’all something real quick. Hopefully you actually read this chart, cause that’s what #they dont want us to do.

They would prefer we watch the news and ingest the biased views they spew. You can’t argue with facts 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pretty strange how the media shows a totally different perspective...

If you look at these numbers compared to population, you're not going to like what you see.

It will still be the same statistics @SW-User
@NoSugarCoating

I think what @SW-User is suggesting is that, though these arrest percentages are interesting, if you looked at what percentage of each population these represent, there might be a different story.

Since "white" clearly includes Hispanics in this table, let's see, if I use your info from the FBI and est. 2015 population info [I think it was published in 2016] using the same categories (from a US Census Bureau doc, as quoted at [i]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_the_United_States[/i]; see n. 64 of that webpage), then we can look at

total arrests as percentage of racial pop'n:

White
2,519,094/233,657,078 * 100%
= 1.08%

Black or AA
901,211/40,241,818 * 100%
= 2.24%

American Indian
or Alaska Native
35,099/2,597,817 * 100%
= 1.35%

Asian
38,843/16,614,625 * 100%
= 0.234%

Native Hawai'ian or
Other Pacific Islander
5,601/560,021 * 100%
= 1.00%
