The news does not show how the whites are treated by police. The media only shows what they want you to see. If you look at the per capita for the united

The American justice system is one of the greatest aspects of the U.S. Constitution. The judicial branch insures that anyone in America receives a fair trial‚ that a nobody is incarcerated without due process and significant evidence‚ it assumes innocents until proven guilt‚ and protects the rights of citizens‚ victims‚ and the accused.

look up synonyms for the word justice‚ or ask someone what they think the word means‚ they will spew out nouns such as: neutrality‚ fairness‚ impartialness‚ etc. I believe justice in terms of the criminal system is the collaboration of three different entities‚ police‚ court‚ and corrections.
