"they don't" #56

derekeder commented 7 years ago

this is a continuation of a previous statement that is pretty far up the page and has a chart between it. Let's make these sentences stand alone:

"If Chicago youth use marijuana at the same rate, and they were are all treated equally by the justice system, then the youth who were arrested for possession would look like the population."

[chart]

"In reality, black youth in Chicago are arrested XX times more than white youth for marijuana possession" (or something to that effect)
