Political rants

"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.

That wasn't the reason I posted though. I'm curious what you would do in this guy's situation.

TwoShy @twobananasshyofapumpkinpie Interesting. That's the Eastern Band of Cherokee and they are considered a separate tribe from the ones displaced to Oklahoma (used to be one tribe) but I wonder if after the Oklahoma ruling if things happened there as well. I don't doubt their police/SWAT force doesn't have enough training yet, if so. The ones displaced to Oklahoma are registered through the Dawes Rolls but some were either hidden or escaped the Trail of Tears. My husband's ancestor was one that went back to Georgia after she was sent to Oklahoma so he isn't able to register as Cherokee through the government but I am since my ancestors stayed in Oklahoma and were put on the rolls.
