I agree theres a problem of black men being killed by cops but thats true all across the board for every race. To say its limited to one race is ingenious and its a discussion we as a nation should be having about how the police operate and what we can do to stop or reduce these violent murders carried out by them.

These are men who are supposed to be the arbiters of the law and protect us,yet they've become more a gang and I think its time we've stood as a nation and addressed this problem.
That isn't to say there isn't a problem in the prison and justice system which has shifted towards being for profit.

We have 25% of the world's incarcerated population yet we only have 5% of the total population in the world.

So the U.S managed to gain about 25% of the world's total incarcerated population off a minority that's only 12% of the total U.S population which makes up half of that 25%. Most of the crimes they're arrested for are drug related and prison in America is not working as a rehabilitation center like it should be, seeing as two-thirds of prisoners are likely to reoffend.
African Americans serve virtually as much time in prison for a drug offense (58.7 months) as whites do for a violent offense (61.7 months).
5 times as many Whites are using drugs as African Americans, yet African Americans are sent to prison for drug offenses at 10 times the rate of Whites.
Why? Because of these "Get tough on drugs" and "War on drug" policies we have, combined with a for profit prison system, have allowed for a justice system which is clearly unfair and should be fixed. Economic and social isolation have also contributed to this as well.
Why are prisons for profit? Because large businesses are allowed to influence our politicians and get them to pass laws which largely don't benefit us. This case is one that afflicts a particular portion of society
If we adapt a "We The People" type of model, I think we’ll be successful in our mission to bring about change.
Thats why they're giving drug offenders time in the double digits.
We need a movement that will clearly express these problems to the American public. Not one that has a leader that shouts crazy shit, then declares we have a enemy to fight, then says we need to separate like that'll be the end to everything.
The Justice or Else movement doesn't look like its addressing that problem or aiming to fix it. Why they think "separating" or this "or else", or trying to hit the American economy will magically fix these complex issues is beyond me.
