This doesn’t mean ~20% of the Black population in Tucson gets arrested each year, since some people are arrested multiple times and people get arrested who don’t live in the city. But Black people in Tucson face higher arrest rates than any other major city. And that’s not all...

Tucson police arrest both Black *and* white people at higher rates than any other major city. Tucson has a high violent crime rate, but that’s not why there are so many arrests. Only 3% of arrests made in Tucson are for violent crime. Police are harassing people for minor issues.
