A Black man who spent more than 16 years in prison in Florida on a wrongful conviction has been fatally shot by a sheriff’s deputy in Georgia during a traffic stop
I’m not disagreeing with your scenario, I’m just thinking about pure statistics right now. We now incarcerate and murder POC in the US with enough frequency that it almost feels like “wrongfully incarcerated and then murdered for being black” all via coincidence has a higher statistical probability than we could possibly imagine. I’m not defending the cop, I’m saying that the system is so broken that these scenarios could actually just start happening passively.
