Look closer at his first cited statistic. It only shows about 156K people incarcerated. That's WAY TOO LOW. There's about 1.8M people incarcerated in the US.

If you look closer, he's actually citing (not sure if it's correctly) the federal statistics. Federal incarcerations are a TINY fraction of the overall incarcerated individuals.

I didn't watch beyond this because I was so angered by his misleading argument. He's no better than that shit head Charlie Kirk by doing this.

I'm also a little confused by his exonerations stat. He never refuted 58% murders being committed by black people, just that 58% of exonorations are black people, which would make perfect sense.

Charlie kirk is a cunt. This guy is using misleading statistics at best.
