    They also chose crimes that can be pinned on black people whether or not they did them.

    For example, drugs. Want to take out a black person that’s “causing trouble?” Just arrest them and conveniently find drugs in their house. Maybe the person really knows that you planted them, but who’s the white judge going to believe? The black man or the white police officer? The black man is now a convicted felon, behind bars. Even if he’s released, he still can’t vote anymore.

    Repeat a few dozen more times and you can stop black people from “causing trouble” just with the constant threat of arrest hanging over their heads.
