@postpolitics@pbump Did they not commit crime? If not we have a different problem. -
@45kelevra@postpolitics Socioeconomic factors created a disparity in the justice system. Policing is half of issue. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-07-18-prison-study_N.htm … -
@halfmut@postpolitics Being poor doesn't mean ur a criminal -
@45kelevra@postpolitics Yes. Ideally the rates of imprisonment would be the same across race and class lines. Racial bias affects class. -
@halfmut@postpolitics How? What do lower class people need to get ahead? -
@45kelevra@postpolitics Better access to education. Jobs closer in distance to neighborhood. Also to feel integrated as equals in society. -
