Poverty leads to crime, and so rich folk (typically white, but mainly because they have enjoyed generations of privilege) have to resort to extreme policing to keep the poor underclass under control.
Up the minimum wage to a livable wage and that will go a long way to helping the situation. And do a better job of weeding out the bad cops - we see far too many on video these days.

Why mandate a "minimum" wage at all? Why should the Fed Gov interfere with private business? If you do not feel you are getting paid what you believe you deserve to be paid, then quit and get a different job. There are plenty of jobs in this country and NO excuse for anyone not having one that wishes to work. If you do not get paid enough to pay the bills, then take on a second or third job. I have worked three jobs at once to support my family. Seems like it is pride or laziness that keeps folks from being able to support their families, not opportunity.
