That line between green and blue between Warren and Detroit is 8 Mile Road, and yes the split between the south and north sides really is that stark.
Wayne County extends west to Livonia and Plymouth, which is a white, affluent, low-crime area. And south through a lot of other white suburbs.
It's completely believable to me that a random, non-discriminatory processing of rape kits would result in 86% of untested kits coming from people of color on that map.
- jayrwren 9y agobut north of 8 mile is not Wayne County. You have to look west and south of detroit to see wayne county that isn't detroit
- lsaferite 9y agoLooking where I live on that map is disturbing. There are two jails near me and they are practically 100% green. :(

While you're couching this as hypothetical - this is in direct contradiction to what the prosecutor said as well as her experiences.
