Based on what we hear of crime statistics, black men as a group commit a disproportionate number of crimes in this country. Their crime rate, as a group, is far higher than the rates for other groups of people.
Thus, it would stand to reason that black men get arrested in disproportionate numbers as well.
So, exactly what would be proved by collecting arrest records? Holder will proclaim, look at this, blacks are 12% of the population but something like 40% of all arrests? That would be a meaningless statistic, if these people are actually committing the crimes, they should be arrested.
But Holder and liberal surrogates will go out there and distort any statistic, to persuade low information types that the difference is due to racism.
Thus, it would stand to reason that black men get arrested in disproportionate numbers as well.
