The article I provided had data. From the FBI. 3 links to an anecdote do not make it data.
- protomyth 15y agoI question your data because it was AZ - not the reservation on the border in AZ.
- jbooth 15y agoThe data was "border areas of AZ". You question it because it doesn't support the narrative you've already committed to. Finding a local exception to the overall trend doesn't invalidate the trend.
- protomyth 15y agoNo, I question it because the reporting of data from the reservation is not generally included in AZ stats and none of the NG troops down there were placed on the reservation land. Pushing the problems into a smaller, less reported on area doesn't change the problem either.
- jbooth 15y agoUh, is this reservation a significant fraction of the land area in Arizona? It's not? So it wouldn't have moved the averages at all? Thanks.
- protomyth 15y agolook at the nice map on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tohono_O’odham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tohono_O’odham showing the reservation. Notice the significant % of the border it takes up. Notice that no NG were placed in that section of the border.
- jbooth 15y agoWell, I suppose I learned something then. So, everywhere except this indian reservation, NG presence has been substantially beefed up and there's been no impact, but seemingly this reservation has seen increased crime.
