[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Breonna Taylor were white, charges would've filed in her death. Black or white, we all know that. That's the crux of the issue.[/quote]

I would like to add this footnote:

The police had been investigating two men who they believed were selling drugs out of a house that was far from Ms. Taylor’s home. 
But a judge signed a warrant allowing the police to search Breonna's residence because the police believed that one of the men had used her apartment to receive packages. 
Breonna had been dating that man on and off for several years but had recently severed ties with him.

SO...

If the two guys that the cops were investigating were white, they never even would have sought a no-knock warrant to begin with.
Let that soak in for a second.

Um, what?

Because white guys don’t deal drugs? They do.

Or, because you think the judge has a different approach to warrants for white drug dealers? Nonsense. [/quote]
And therein lies the discrepancy.
There are many who believe there are two separate justice systems for black offenders and white offenders.
There are many who believe there are two separate systems for engagement for black offenders and white offenders.
The current systems are only a slightly abridged versions of their racist origins - as a matter of fact police forces first came about as slave patrols tasked with chasing down runaways and preventing slave revolts.
These racial inequalities in our justice system and in law enforcement are long past overdue for a good old fashioned overhaul.[/quote]

Then why black people like Breonna and her boyfriend, instead of dealing the drugs, sign up and work for a decade on police force to be a change?[/quote]
