This is a great article. One of the things that is never explored in this conversation about black vs. white incarceration rates, is how the police are treated by those they choose to incarcerate. Blacks are far more suspicious of police than are whites. I know people who have talked themselves into tickets just by their attitude toward the police. Police have discretion when it comes to what action they take when they find someone breaking the law, and often, when someone is belligerent, police will treat them far more harshly.
