No, you’re misunderstanding me. A dark skinned person is more likely to be arrested due to being misidentified than a white person. Not that a black parson is being arrested for a crime a white person conducted or vice versa.

That headline would be the wrong takeaway. It’s more important not to punish an innocent person than it is to punish a criminal. It’s how the Justice system works. The emphasis should always be on the victim.
