- coldtea 6y ago>This is how all non-violent criminals are treated. Not, all. Some are shot on the spot, despite being non-violent, unarmed, or even a kid playing. Others get life for "three strikes" (non violent).

Also, three strikes laws apply to carrier criminals that commit repeated felonies, which in most states require at least one of those felonies to be violent and severely so. https://freebeacon.com/issues/study-no-racial-difference-police-shootings-compared-crime-rates/ https://freebeacon.com/issues/study-no-racial-difference-pol... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-strikes_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-strikes_law
