Will tell you like I told Booker-These people need college degrees/trade licenses/ transportation, bridge jobs until they obtain degrees/ licenses. Do not set 13th Amendment folk free with no plan-the US Gov't did that in 1863 Emancipation & 1877 Compromise.

The cops will have nothing left to do to justify their jobs. Oh dear. Just don't let them back on the street, something about a thin line between cop and criminal.
