Further into the article it states...

Yea I kept trying to get the 2019 table to load but it wasn't displaying arrests by race just crime. Thank you for posting the updated data set. Even the new data shows a bias though. 75.8% of 6,816,975 is 5,168,025.5 and 13.6% of 6,816,975 is 927,244.6. Police arrest white people less than the average we'd expect to see and more black people. 8 or 10 times more? We'd have to get into ratios for that and I'm already worried my posts are too boring lol. I guess to be fair, I'd say you were correct that the 8-10X is probably an exaggeration. Per capita whites are arrested more but by demographic density minorities are.

Wow they really do suck at citing sources. I wonder which jurisdictions they're talking about.

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.
