It doesn't take any spin to get that message from the graffiti all around Portland; it's pretty explicit about what to do to cops.

I don't know about stats but lets see the big picture: they were brought over as slaves, abused for generations, and then put in shitty economic environments where there is no education, only poverty.

Crime goes hand in hand with poverty, and it builds stereotypes and biases that makes it easier for incarceration which in America is just privatized slave labor market who makes mundane everyday items.

whoa its crazy when I wrote "amen & awomen" somebody flagged it. looks like HN isn't really immune to the madness that is gripping America.
