Police just patrol low-income neighborhoods looking for any reason to stop someone, find them guilty for something, and write them a ticket. Many of these tickets, unfortunately, permanently ruin someone's life. We're talking about people being put into prison for Marijuana, ya know, the plant. And for the most part, it's only black people that get the harshest punishments because of their skin color. It's irresponsible to tell black people to stay out of trouble when so many of them just happened to be caught with a little bit of weed and sentenced to prison. Then when they get out of prison they can't get a good job anywhere, training, or go to school. They're a felon at that point. So they go back to doing the shit that got them in trouble the first place. Do black people need to change as a community?
