Do you even read the words you write?
Tell me that the police brutality, the racism, the inequal treatment by the legal system would have been as extreme had those areas had more economic parity.
Crime breeds in economically depressed areas. The wealthy and middle class feel threatened by that understandably and call for tough police action. They want the rules bent, whatever it takes to protect them from the rabble. The cops get tougher and more unethical and so do the gangs. It continues to build until it boils over.
But don't even try to pretend that it's not the economics that drives all of this. You damned well know it.
