but there are some interesting statistics highlighted by the african—american essayist debra dickersonnals reported by crime victims matches the arrest data which suggests the police are not over arresting black people more than white people. i think that's an interesting statistic. what we have to look at is, where the police end up, which communities? i mentioned earlier, i am in a community where over—policing is happening. we have police from morning until sundown. and families and communities are being criminalised by police, but then you go to sherman oaks, which is a neighbourhood over, the same things could be happening and yet those communities aren't criminalised. it's a powerful statistic to suggest that when someone is reporting a crime, they say they are black, they say they are white. that ratio is the same as the arrests made by police. you as the arrests made by police. might argue they ar around you might argue they are hanging around your neighbourhood more. when it comes to actual arrests made, if that matches those who are reporting crime... the question then become
