Without knowing the details, I have to wonder... any chance it was a legitimate case of mistaken identity?

  Definitely couldn't be our corrupt and racist justice system, just a simple misunderstanding of course

    Our justice system is imperfect, but "corrupt and racist" is a stretch. And all I did was ask a (reasonable!) question.

      Racism in the justice system isn’t even close to arguable. It’s proven. We have plenty of data.

      It is corrupt and racist. How you could think otherwise in America blows my mind.

      As a white person who has been through "the system", it is absolutely corrupt and racist. I have seen black men put in jail for the same crime that white men were let go on - in the same courtroom, on the same day, by the same judge - with all external factors being equal except race.

  Funny how often black males seem to end up on the wrong end of those.
