Per capita. That's what this article says. It's the 1st I've heard of it. The article tells about a guy getting killed by tribal police. That's a whole different issue. If they allow their police to shoot with less provocation, that's tribal business. I'm sure they don't want outside interference in how they solve their crime problems.

Just from observing the local news, that doesn't surprise me. Is "i-iggers" a word?

Well I certainly hope they are using Winchesters and Colts!

I'm going to make a pretty controversial generalization here...but I was raised next to the rez and lived here in the midst of Injun country for most of my life, worked with scads of Injuns back in my logging days, so I'm going to opine. The western Injuns I'm used to are genetically and culturally, warriors at heart. They despise a coward, they have much more respect for a man who will fight and lose than a man who won't fight. Law enforcement as it is practiced requires the citizen in a simple questioning or a potential confrontation to back down, comply, obey. That is not in the Injun's dna. A very few rural sheriff's deputies understand this and get along just fine, make a whole career without drawing a gun... but any cop with attitude confronts an Injun with aggression, he will be met with aggression, every time. Guilt or innocence has nothing to do with the quoted statistic...it's all about the nature of the interaction, excessive aggression by leos leads to trouble every time. Of course most of my experiences were pre meth...just alcohol...maybe the rules have changed now.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Pretty much spot on in my view.

I agree, it hasn't changed here. Being a warrior is deeply ingrained in the nature of most, the Indians are no different. He just isn't in the planning mode, he is more reactionary. I have a truck load of Indian relitives, that will fight at the drop of a hat. When treated fairly and respected for themselves, they will back you to death. Many living in cities and in areas without any Indians, will never have a clue. They think great warrior or town drunk. They never seen an Indian except on tv or in the movies.

Watch a weeks worth of news from Rapid City SD.

That will give you another clue as to the why.

Posts like this remind me of a NA comedian I watched a while back. Two quotes I remember from hs stand-up:

"I'm allergic to alcohol. It makes me break out in handcuffs!"

"My girlfriend told me she was Bi. So I brought home another girl. 13 stitches later i realized she meant bi-polar!"

I guess if I'm outed, I should have added some whiskey and maybe some blankets?
