Like I had nothing to do at 3 in the morning, but the surgery I had is keeping me awake.
Anyways, a story in the paper had me go to the U.S. Marshall Service Top 15 and eventually to the FBI's Top Ten.
Well, the pictures kind of surprised me.
The U.S. Marshall's Top 15 had 10 Whites, 4 Blacks and 1 White/Hispanic

The FBI's Top 10 includes 0 Blacks 5 Hispanics and 5 Whites

The FBI's Most Wanted murderers include 0 Blacks, 9 Hispanic 1 White

The FBI's Top 10 For Additional Violent Crimes: 1 Black, 4 White and 5 Hispanic

So, according to Eric Holder's Dept. of Justice, of the Top 45 Most Wanted, 20 are White, 20 are Hispanic and 5 are Black.
Hmm, ok. Doesn't quite represent crime statistics and racial demographics.
I certainly hope the DOJ is not playing racial politics with the Most Wanted lists.
But considering it is Eric Holder in charge, one has to wonder.
