I live in a NH town on the Vermont line. We're the epicenter of the heroin crisis. People come up from the cities on a daily basis to sell their wares and they get busted. I see it in the local paper every day. It appears many of those people - not all - are POC. That would account for what appears to be (but isn't) racial bias.
