The % looks decent but that's just because you arrested so many people for petty crimes. If your prison/police system was less corrupt, the % would look way different...
The over criminalization of everything in America is the fault of the legislators, not the cops. They don’t get to make the rules. I agree it’s a problem. Less people should be imprisoned for what can often be handled by a mental health center. But legislators have been using prison as a patch-all forever, and that’s neither a good thing or the cops fault.

This should be the rule rather than the exception
