Chauvin Murder Trial

[Pat Mustard]

Wrong - I've never denied there're SOME racial issues in American policing.....the main one being that black looking Americans appear to commit vastly more crime per capita than other "races," and the fallout from that discrepancy. 

Let's see now, why might black looking Americans be more prone to crime....maybe because many of them're furious at "white looking America/the establishment" for slavery/segregation etc, so there's nothing many black looking Americans like more than "sticking it to the man" by enthusiastically breaking as many laws and committing as much crime as possible - makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

(bold mine)

Did it ever occur to you that systemic racism may be the reason for this appearance? Black people - particularly Black men - are more often targeted by cops, more likely to be convicted and given harsher sentences by courts.

Since their Supreme Court decided that 'innocence is no bar to conviction', it's been that much easier to railroad minorities into prison, whether they are guilty or not.

The full quote from Antonin Scalia, murderer, is:

“There is no basis, tradition, or even in contemporary practice for finding that in the Constitution the right to demand judicial consideration of newly discovered evidence of innocence brought forward after a conviction.”

And all because letting the innocent go free was to him an "embarrassing question". I'm against capital punishment, but in this case I think I can make an exception for a man who ushered thousands to their deaths because he didn't want to be embarrassed by admitting that courts could be wrong.
