If you're a man and you've made your way to age 23 without getting arrested, consider it a win. A new study finds that 38% of white men, 44% of Hispanic men, and 49% of black men have been arrested by that age for non-traffic-related crimes, the AP reports. Researchers looked at annual surveys from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, in which about 7,000 young people self-reported their history.

You know who is NOT doing the time?? Police officers. Politicians. Rich kids. Wall Street. Big Banks...

You got to catch them doing something illegal. Not something that offends your overdeveloped sense of liberal outrage.
