Did you really just make an argument to continue the war on drugs so that prisons can maintain a balance of violent criminals versus non-violent? You think decisions about what should be legal and illegal should be based on keeping a 'just right' prison mix?
No lol I was saying that the main problem these people have is the black-white prison disparity...so if they remove the drug offenders and keep only the violent offenders than the REAL problem they have(black-white prison difference) will only be widened.

But yeah I just want violent criminals locked up..but they just seem to want the prison numbers to represent the general population race wise.

For starters, wth would you let out just one racial group if you disagreed with drug criminalization? Wouldn't you want to let everybody out?

His disarming the police comment is symptomatic of Moore smoking crack.

Yeah, I have to wonder if someone managed to make it out to his 2million mansion secluded on a lake....how long they'd wander around his house before looking down the barrell of a gun.

I hate all these fake liberals like Michael Moore, you are no better or worse than the crazy people from Fox News, you are all fake which is why I hate all politicians and most of Hollywood.

BBM

Not to take this thread too far out of context but I have a question.

I always wondered how the UK Police patrol with no weapon.

At least I don't see them with one, only the baton.

Anyone have any ideas?

I don't think that's the case, but statistics show black people are more likely to be incarcerated for minor drug use offenses than whites.

Where does he live anyways. I bet somewhere nice, expensive and safe.

Whites pay their bail and show up for court, pay a fine and go on probation.

Look at the laundry list for Freddy. Would his family in their right mind pay bail ?
