The plain meaning of what I said was that people are wrongly tried and convicted in this country's criminal justice system, because they happened to fit a certain profile. How many people have we had to take off death row after discovering through DNA research later that they didn't commit the murders they were tried for?
Others suffer harassment by the police because of their demographic profiles. For example, you're familiar with the "crime" of DWB, I assume. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
