Political rants

It's misleading. If you go to the article link there's no citations. Just "we got this from the FBI". I expect better and I want to see the 800 and 250 jurisdiction information and data. They have basically made a claim that no one can refute because they didn't provide a source. Just bad journalism.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/abc-news-analysis-police-arrests-nationwide-reveals-stark/story?id=71188546 The link you shared was broken for me, hopefully this one will work. Really crap reporting. Shameful even.

"We'd have to get into ratios for that ...Per capita whites are arrested more but by demographic density minorities are." @twobananasshyofapumpkinpie ^^^ This would make sense, though. So basically, urban settings. People in the suburbs and rural areas probably wouldnt care if that was said in the article. Framing at work.

I don't understand what you mean by urban settings. Like I understand what it means but I don't understand how it applies to what you quoted me saying. My first guess is that per capita has a meaning outside what I intended, in which case I meant per head count or per individual person as opposed to per group population (the 75.8% as opposed to 13.6% I cited earlier). The FBI data was from the whole country.

@twobananasshyofapumpkinpie "but by demographic density minorities are..." I took this as meaning urban settings since that is where the population is densest, though I shouldn't discount suburbs even though I always lump them into the cities they surround.

Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Dallas/Fort Worth. All massive cities by land mass because of the suburban areas that surround them. And from experience in Atlanta, the crime doesn't just stay in the heart of the city. It finds its way every where.

While I suspect no one was interested in the continuation of my explanation, if anyone was, I'm sorry I forgot today was Monday. Also it's too much work, so I'll take the L and agree it's contradictory.

@twobananasshyofapumpkinpie Mondays suck for all. I'm sure you can pick back up another time? Choco often resumes where he left off in his topics because sometimes he's short on time for lengthy ones.
