    Race, unfortunately, is one of the biggest predictors of how victims of crime are treated in the justice system. https://usat.ly/2qMSyvM  (via @usatodayopinion)

        BS... It's the JUDICIAL institutions where abuses under the color of authority are not deemed criminal. Judges collude with police & prosecutors. And guess what political party controls those counties (hint: Democrats) where that happens as a rule? #PlantationPolitics

        Some states have a smaller black population. Ratios like this take into account the % of the population white/black people make up. Say there are 5 white people for 1 black person in the US, then if prison was 1/4 black/white ratio, that means they're punished more frequently.

        No, the article is saying more black people are jailed for the same crime that many white people are let off with lesser punishment for.

        Many factors go into whether the DA pursues capital punishment, with the biggest being evidence & witness testimony. Writer was the first to point out that African American don't trust the police so it's logical to say they probably wouldn't give eyewitness testimony as well
