Hypothetical question re: proportionality

[Hammster]

Let’s say that the police were able to arrests every single rioter and looter over the past couple of weeks. Would the ethnic percentages of the arrestees mirror the ethnic percentages of the US?

I'm guessing that there would be proportionately fewer Asians and Native Americans among the rioters.

Just those?

 

[Radagast]

Just those?

Going by what I saw on various videos, just those.

So mostly white folks would be getting arrested?

I saw a lot of white people ...

Could you address the OP? That would be awesome.

Probably a lot closer than if we did the same for the arrests stemming from the Mueller Report.

If you want to start that topic, go ahead. Either address the OP or post somewhere else.

I addressed your response to the OP.

That's how a discussion rolls, right ?

You didn’t address the OP. That’s how discussions roll.

 

[Hammster]

I’m seeing why those on the left don’t want to address the OP.

I'd like to see a "Don't know" option, because that would be my answer. I haven't seen anything about the race of rioters/looters.

Have you watched the news?

Have you watched the news?

Yes, some (I don't get T.V.) and mostly Pacific Northwest news. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Sorry if I came across as short. I was trying do too much at once.

Anyway, the reason there’s no Don’t Know option is because of you don’t know, then it’s not really helpful to the discussion.

If everyone addresses the original thought, there is no progression of thought ...

It you ignore the OP, then everything is off topic.

I’m guessing that you think the arrestees would mirror the population percentage wise. What leads you to that conclusion? Did you see something on tv that the rest of us missed?
