Quote:But the fact that black people are incarcerated five times as frequently as white people does not mean black people commit five times as many crimes. Here’s why:
(1) If a black person and a white person each commit a crime, the black person is more likely to be arrested. This is due in part to the fact that black people are more heavily policed[....]
(2) When black people are arrested for a crime, they are convicted more often than white people arrested for the same crime[...]
(3) When black people are convicted of a crime, they are more likely to be sentenced to incarceration compared to whites convicted of the same crime[...]
Furthermore when crime rate goes down, the number of arrest does not. If the police don't meet their quote, the politicians start saying we don't need so many cops and they start laying cops off. It's a racket that's sorta related to the number of crimes actually committed.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
