I need someone here to respond to this intelligently, without using words like "smoothbrain", "rat", "reddit is bad", etc. Like, a non-reactionary response. Because if i just retort to someone who cites these stats in the way this thread would otherwise, it won't help anything.

His response was not "the first and last years of my term were outliers and don't accurately capture the general reduction in total arrests, and the fraction of arrests that were African-American was fairly stable throughout".

His answer was "we had to bust black kids with marijuana possession charges, because we all know deep down that they're violent thugs".

That's the actual problem, not the accuracy of the statistics in the question. He was basically a guy on the stand that Matlock tricked into confessing. We all heard it.
