The US justice system is flawed but is nowhere near as bad as Russia's.

I'm not so sure. What I hear about Russia's is mostly cronyism. That happens in the US too, but let's say that it happens way less.

How is it for the average citizen, and normal disputes? Do they have something like a huge minority (blacks) that they consistently discriminate against in their justice system?

Do they have as absurd laws as the three-strikes?
