WTF? Madison has a 9.5:1 Arrest Ratio

That means blacks are 9..5 times more likely to be arrested than whites. Dane County average is 8:1. Ferguson 2.8. WTF? (sorry chief, if deserves an f-bomb!) Check out the sheriff’s numbers . . . what is he doing right?

This Cap Times article is from November and I can’t believe I didn’t notice it before. It features USA Today’s searchable map.
