I took a deep dive through police departments across North Carolina last night... What I found is pretty shocking. On the low end, at least 20% of "WHITE" arrests are Hispanics, on the high-end, in some counties, this number is closer to 70%. Whatever the "WHITE" crime rate actually is, it's far lower than you could possibly imagine.

In quite a few reports, I found that the "race" of the individual will vary, depending on where you look. The arrest report will say one thing, the jail report another, and the court system may say something different.
Something that happened quite frequently is that even when someone was arrested by the SAME police department over multiple years... The race of the individual would suddenly change, sometimes changing every month, with every arrest or every year. Many had ICE detainers.
Even more strangely... I found that a decently large number of Hispanic individuals had their race labelled as "U" meaning "Unknown"... This was extremely rare in cases involving White or Black individuals, but occurred frequently with those arrested who were clearly Hispanic.
I honestly found myself laughing at some points because the race labeling are just completely ludicrous. Here, for example, is a series of very clearly Hispanic men being labelled "CAUCASIAN" in the arrest reports. Again... whatever you believe the WHITE crime rate to be, it's so much lower than what is reported in crime stats. You absolutely cannot trust any race-related crime statistics coming out of Democrat-run cities. And if these are feeding into state or federal databases that give an "overall crime rate" for certain races... Then those are also inaccurate.
