It also has to do with racial profiling. The statistics don't indicate and the media doesn't cover the fact that racial profiling goes on in this country. People still get stopped for Driving While Black, or in some cases Standing Outside Your Apartment Smoking a Cigarette While Black and Wearing a Hoodie.
