40 reasons why our jails are full of Black and Poor people

[BrotherIvan]

91. The end of your post was just what I was thinking this morning

We need monitors of police activity. We need to see statistics to reveal racial profiling and abuse. We need a kind of national database and a government office that is charged with holding cities and counties accountable for their policing. We need to make sure that cities and counties are not making up their revenues on the backs of poor, black, and brown people. They can pull all of this off because no one is looking. They are not held accountable in any way for making sure the justice system is just. The courts need to be examined the same way and if there is discrepancies for sentences, someone from DOJ needs to come in and fix it.

We have schools being taken over for bad test scores. We have people screaming to the high heavens that "bad teachers can't be fired." But what about bad cops? What about racist courts? There is no accountability anywhere in the system.
