I think people do tend to think "Well, there's no way that would ever happen to me". But I think it's in a much more racialized way than you have it here. The reason it would never happen to the people here is because they're white and (therefore, implicitly) law-abiding and a good citizen and non-threatening. Whereas, when they think of the people in jail, they think of black people, and they don't really want to think of them in those terms. They'll probably say, "Well, they probably did something."

Again, at the end of the day, I really think there are people who think of blackness (especially poor blackness) as just almost intrinsically threatening. And that directly leads to justifying policies that are punitive and forceful, because it's a necessary measure to check that threat. I don't think you can really ignore the role that racism plays in the way the whole thing operates. It is profoundly racist. It's not just racist but it is very, very racist.

Oh, absolutely. Completely agreed on that. We can just point to all the comments people make about the black people who've been shot and killed by police of late as a prime example of that, and obviously there's plenty more examples of similar attitudes and comments going back years, too.

There's been the whole thing with the news about Baltimore and the racist crap the police there have been covering up recently, too, but I think there's probably very, very few, if any, police forces anywhere in the country who DON'T have some sort of nasty skeletons of that kind in their closet :/.

My dad lived in the L.A. area in the 1960s, when he was a kid, and he told stories about actually seeing police officers roughing up black people when out and about.
