>> it incentivizes racism
Does it also not disincentivize #crime? Or does crime remain unaffected because of it?
because it incentivizes cops deciding "that person looks like he shouldn't have cash," & they often decide that based on race (Black or Hispanic) or "that person is from a culture where i bet they have a lot of cash we could use" (Asian)
I am Asian (American). I see cops EVERY SINGLE DAY and they see me. None is after me.

This is not a time for us to be fighting among ourselves, or to take an irresponsible step, or fail to take a responsible step just because we are angry at the moment.

Putin gave Kim a first Aurus limousine in February this year, meaning he now has at least two.
