We're talking about violent crime... drug prosecutions and other nonviolent crime are notorious for selective enforcement.
A bullet fired, a body, etc. are much harder to hide.
- vmception 6y agoand my immediate reply to you was that its not about violent crime It doesn't exist in isolation There is no “culture that commits violent crime” There is a marginalized population from overpolicing for nonviolent crimes It cascades It can be fixed by acknowledging this component
- mnm1 6y agoNo. We're definitely not. From the parent post: > It has to do with nonviolent infractions that marginalize people to begin with. Being actually caught with illicit substances , or caught for the unpaid ticket. > These things are evenly distributed across society, but when overly targeting minorities it further marginalizes them.
