“You have an overmilitarization of police departments all across the country, racially unjust application of laws against poor black and brown people, [and] collateral consequences of these convictions that have kept black and brown people and communities [as] second-class citizens,” she said.........http://www.unz.com/sbpdl/can-we-just-make-it-illegal-to-arrest-blacks-black-states-attorney-of-70-black-baltimore-excuses-away-black-crime-compares-slavery-to-criminal-justice-system/
