  1. Baltimore? That's not a surprise. Of course the court will impose the max time when they can't collect the fine. A crack in your tail light can get you this. No room for human error and no forgiveness…

  2. Why arent the police jailed for racism? They are trained by Israelis to shoot to kill at the drop of a hat just like they do to the Palesinians. See where this is going? Its best to start bringing racist charges against the cops before its too late.

  3. They know the likelihood of the avg Black Baltimorean won't have the financial resources to pay the cost to purchase their justice

  4. But are the blacks not being found with illegal amounts regardless. Not to mention other stuff. Why did you not discuss that? Also, you dont think 50 lbs of weed should be illegal???!!! Also, why would different groups with different behaviours have the same level of arrests. And yes I am black and I am happy they are being put there. Your virtue signal is not working on all blacks.

  5. This is state sanctioned slavery. This country was built by slaves and slavery. It is still maintained to this day by slave labor. They will not let their slaves in Prison go without a fight. Too much money is being made. The US govt. Use them, corporations use them, etc.

  6. But Baltimore is about 65% Black already and less than 30%White, so it is not a stretch to say that what is left of whites, live in guarded gated communities and are law abiding. 96% kinda seems a little low though as far as Black arrests.

  7. This points to a couple things, 1. Is that true criminal justice reform will require legalization 2. Having black politicians and police (I know that this depends but has been true of people in power in Baltimore) does not necessarily lead to less racist policing. 3. Police are immoral for enforcing obviously immoral laws and must not be treated as selfless public servants with reasonable opinions but as actors that have almost definitionally chosen to side with inflicting blatant pointless injustices on less powerful people either due to moral or intellectual failings. We must try to eliminate or defang ALL police and correctional unions and organizations that hold any power in public policy or PR.

    The fact that tons of establishment politicians have embraced “criminal justice reform” is a sign that the policies they’re actually supporting will only make small differences and retain most of the immorality inherent in our current system. Additionally real reform has to include releasing “violent” offenders that had guns but didn’t use them.
