This amounts to "having cameras to catch thieves is bad because it catches too many black thieves". Thievery is a crime for good reason.

- droopyEyelids 5y agoWhile I found the way you stated it objectionable, the real catch-22 here is that while disadvantaged groups are more likely to commit crimes, _they're also way more likely to be the victims of crimes_ This is a hard fact to approach with justice in mind, and troubles a lot of the US discourse on crime and policing. Yes, if non-white-collar crime is policed effectively, it disproportionately affects people from underprivileged backgrounds. However it also disproportionately benefits those in the same sociological group. The real win would be successful rehabilitation and less lethal policing, in my opinion.
