Reply to comment by FreddoMac5 in Tennessee officers won’t face charges for violent arrest ----- A district attorney says a grand jury has declined to indict police officers after an investigation by Tennessee's police agency into the violent arrest of a Black man for alleged traffic violations by paulfromatlanta

I agree 100%.

But a lot of these problems are pervasive throughout the whole of society, and not just confined to the justice system.. as bad as it is.

In a perfect world we would get down to the why of stealing a candy bar and solve that rather than solely rely on punishment as a deterrence.

Most of us clearly understand the racial disparity that is ingrained in America, but a lot of people just refuse to see it. Unfortunately ~50% of our leadership is part of that lot, so nothing meaningful gets done.
