47% or less of the cars, 90% of the tickets. But it makes sense if you note than none of the whites get tickets for 'driving while black.'
Well...maybe those longer Achilles tendons make them faster drivers as well as runners.

So when the Ferguson Police issue speeding citations to blacks, they are, in effect, 'catching them by the toe.'
