Emmer is really a POS. "Agreeing that the majority of crimes are committed by Somalis"

As said on “The Issues” program - demonstrably wrong

You're ok with that unsubstantiated claim?

Since all crime can be basically boiled down to two things: Theft and Assault/Battery/Murder, let's see some statistics...



Now, I cannot speak for the second one, but as to the first one, this doesn't jibe with your statements, since this means that in pretty much all of the states, these numbers are the case. (The number for Minnesota is the same... around 80-85% of crimes are theft.)

In fact, since we know that the business owner ratio in this state is something like 85% white (see:Google)... and that the Somali people make up around one percent of the state population (see:Google)...

I'd say, you are so full of shit you squeak when you walk.

Sir.
