I mean you used bad stats to make an overall good point, next time don't undermine your argument by manipulating the data.

How sure are you it’s a good point if the stats don’t support it

The overall point he was making, I believe, is that black people suffer phenomenally worse rates of violent victimization than other races, and it's crazy our politicians don't seem to care about it. The former clause is factual and inarguable, the latter is a political point but IMO a good one.

The point he was wrong about is his idea that Jacksonville's crime rates are close to NYCs on a racial victimization basis - they aren't.
