You clearly aren't out to have a productive conversation. You have an axe to grind on this issue.

I'll take your bait though, see how hard you believe these falsehoods.

Yeah, Police in the US (in some states at least) are racist, now I don't mean individuals necessarily, though I'm sure some are, but institutional (dare I say systemic) racism exists in the system. Incarceration rates are a good correlative bit of evidence, arrest rates, court dismissals for whites at a higher rate than blacks... like take your pick. No evidence (or fact) supports your position at all. Happy for your to bring the data to prove me wrong here.

You can hide behind economics if you like and try to argue "poor people commit more crime" - but then how do you explain incarceration rates of blacks given there are more poor white people than poor black people in the US?

You haven't illustrated any point. Just that you have opinions, with little fact, and seem triggered by people referencing white male privilege.
