everyone wants "equal treatment" until it's their car getting ticketed. then suddenly it's harassment because the offender is "marginalized".

- 40acres 7y agoI consider this a bad faith argument so I’ll just leave you with this. Just yesterday the Supreme Court ruled against a prosecutor who repeatedly ruled out black people from jury selection, it was found this prosecutor on average asked white jurors 11 questions and black jurors ~25, this is just one of the many examples of unequal treatment under the law that criminal justice reformers are advocating against. It sounds like you need to do some reading, so I’ll recommend The Color of Law.
- JudgeWapner 7y agothe bad faith arguments are the ones that claim that minorities should get free passes to break the law. And the straw-man arguments are the ones that cite single examples of officer/judicial misconduct and ascribe that to the hundreds of thousands of men and women in criminal justice. What if someone cited a handful of examples of minorities acting badly as representative of the entire population? Tell me about the faith of that argument. > It sounds like you need to do some reading you are no in no position to recommend me reading when you evade the most basic questions about the central premise of your argument.
