there is a small piece of useful information in this data.

The right, specifically Governor McCrory (here and here), has been claiming that many of the protestors are "outsiders", yet the data does not support that.

The slide entitled "Protestors by Reported County" shows that only 2% of the arrested protestors are from outside of NC (8 of the 382 arrested indicate an out of state address).
