New math: 30% equals 65%

"Seventeen drivers in South Carolina have been tasered by Highway Patrol troopers. Eleven were African-Americans..." [LINK]

11/17 = 65%, but they account for only about 30% of the population of South Carolina.

Some might argue that seventeen is too small a sample size to determine a trend. Well maybe, but I'll bet that the trend doesn't change as the numbers inevitably grow.

Not good. Not good at all.
