So, white guy kills an unarmed black kid and it's ok, right? You don't think it was an injustice? How about this one:

White person: Kills an unarmed black kid and he's not guilty
Black person: Fires a warning shot to defend herself against a threatening partner and gets 20 years
Same state, too.

That's just how it is.
Oh, yeah, there are no race issues with our criminal justice system. </sarcasm>
