Yep!
You made an interesting point; one I've not thought of before.
"The rich can insulate themselves, in their exclusive neighborhoods, gated communities, and with their expensive alarms systems. The poor have to count on the state to fund the aggressive law enforcement and long prison sentences that help keep them safe."
In my case, I have none of that. I would, however like it if my d*ckhead socialist Governor would stop VETOING Concealed Carry so I could at least go down fighting if I were a victim of crime away from my home. (He hasn't sent his jack-booted thugs in to yank our guns from our homes...yet!) Grrrr!
Black criminals should be convicted and sent to prison only in the same proportion that blacks are of the population. If it is deemed necessary to imprison a larger proportion of blacks because a larger proportion of blacks commit crimes then a compensatory number of nonblacks must also be convicted and imprisoned. That is, of course, axiomatic. The responsibility of the legislature is to enact laws that criminalise actions that are more characteristic of nonblack populations or to randomly arrest, try , and convict sufficient nonblack persons to normalize the proportions in the convict population. That would be only fair.
