Three of the 40 members of the California State Senate have been arrested this year, more than double the statewide arrest rate and higher than the rate in any of California's 25 largest cities.

State Senator Ron Calderon was arrested in February for allegedly taking bribes. State Senator Leland Yee was arrested in March for allegedly trafficking in firearms and taking bribes. State Senator Ben Hueso was arrested Friday on suspicion of drunk driving charges. A fourth senator, Roderick Wright, was convicted of perjury and voter fraud charges in January but was arrested prior to this year. [More]

This makes the California Senate a very high crime neighborhood indeed.

All arrestees are members of a minority group, all are Democrats...and they're all accused of crimes that are utterly stereotypical. (The Sacramento Bee doesn't mention race or party.)

That makes it obvious—the problem is white law enforcement. That's what the problem is supposed to be in Ferguson, after all.

The only solution is for the remaining Democratic State Senators to stage a very small riot, to be attended by ABC, NBC, CBS, and the cable networks. Then Eric Holder can step in and do something.
