@22m - "Policed To Shop"

This is what I'm talking about. The cop is there to get you to spend money into the system, at some level. CCA, the whole prison-for-profit system, it's all about money. They'd toss all the white people in jail too if they could.

@23m - White people do not get a get out of jail free card.

Guess Gem never heard about "Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics".

Devils Advocate: People of lower socio-economic status commit more crime because of economic need. Is it not possible that black people, being previously disenfranchised, simply fall into the lower socio-economic status more often and therefore actually do commit more crime? Is it not possible that these biases come from some "statistics" as well?

Are cops in South Side Chicago as equally racist for "profiling" gang members as the cop that stopped you outside the mall?
