Critics angrily complained that police had targeted African-American youths, enticing the youngsters by leaving an untended and unlocked truck full of valuable sneakers out on a public roadway. Officials countered that the sting targeted no one other than thieves in general, that the truck was locked and required considerable effort to break into, and that perpetrators couldn’t have known the truck contained Nikes until after they broke in and began ransacking it.
So let me get this straight. These cops bought a truck full of expensive shoes... To use them as bait for poor people so they could arrest them. So this is how pigs solve crime: sweeping it under the money-making rug of for-profit prisons. They could have used that money to help these people through their hardships, but no. The poor are subhuman filth and as such they must be treated.

“The Chicago Police Department admits that it can’t solve murders and violent crimes because communities of color don’t trust the Chicago police,” Sheley said. “These stunts won’t help.”
And part of me thinks that they don't want to actually solve crime...
Not to mention the fact that the prison system is already over crowded enough as it is.
