It wasn't me.
FWIW, I think that there are racist individuals in the criminal
justice system.  I do not think that the entire justice system is
racist.  I think the reason that you see proportionally more blacks
(per population) in prisons than whites is more that crime is prevalent
in poorer areas than it is in wealthier areas.  Those poorer areas
happen to be predominately minority.  Does this mean that minorities
cause more crime?  No, it means that socio-economic conditions breed
crime.  Fix those conditions and crime rates drop.

assistant: Ryan,
What kind of magic peephole do you use to view a world that exists
mostly in your mind? Oh, yeah! I forgot. Pot, huh. In my neighborood,
I see young black males driving through, walking through, on the
school bus, at the local supermarket and convenience store. This has
gone on for years. It's a predominantly white, suburban, middle class
neighborhood in a large city.
I have seen exactly _one_ black male being spoken with by police
because the super market charged him with shoplifting. I see no sign
that these ybm's have any fear of the police here.
You'll probably now allege that I am racist, and just don't know the
facts. Well, it happens that I am very intolerant of, and abhor
racism. If I saw an incident that smacked of it, I would turn in a
cop, or anyone else, in a heartbeat.
Both my stepdad and my brother (now deceased) were longtime cops. I
was amazed at the number of black friends who attended their funerals.
Many of those friends were just citizens from the areas they had
worked, and not fellow LEO's, although they had both, from time to
time had black partners, and were quite attached to them. When your
life depends on the guy next to you, it's no time to think of his
color.
You see entirely too many bogey men. Try taking a day off from getting
high and take a look at the real world.

Ah, I'll one you up though. Most crime in general (property crime) is

But don't you see that we live under a system where cops are given great
favor
in the court, on television, etc. It is the job of the PD PR team to cover up
anything that happens. Even in the court system we have the 'good faith'
exception ... why do we give cops good faith, when so many people that they
arrest never would?
