you're straw-manning me into a bunch of things I never said or talked about.
So, do you think that whites and blacks commit the same number of crimes, or not? Should they police black neighborhoods less? White neighborhoods more?
There is no trade-off between the level of policing in black neighborhoods and the level of policing in white neighborhoods. You're arguing against assertions that no one has made. No one on this forum believes that the litany of crimes committed by white New Yorkers warrant incarceration because these crimes are largely relegated to drug use. However, the fact that white New Yorkers are not imprisoned for drug use is a clear indication that the NYPD employs racist procedures. Why are people of color locked up for possessing marijuana while white New Yorkers are not?
