Then you are saying on any given charge that I don't have a better chance of incarceration than firm? come again?
I'd agree that you would be more likely have a chance at incarceration. But not "just because" you might be black.
More likely due to your attitude, and - perhaps - the culture in which you were raised.
If someone acts like a punk, a gangster, a bad-ass and challenges an authority figure, simple human nature of those figures tends to give less benefit of the doubt.
In other words, I get stopped for failure to register my car, I acknowledge the error, politely apologize and get a ticket that I then go and pay.
Some people get stopped for failure to register their car, take their time about pulling over, insult the cop, act surly, resentful and furtive. The cop has them step out of the car, call the drug dogs, and then have to verbally and then physically restrain the stopped individual. That individual get arrested for assault, and goes to jail. When they are before the judge, they call him a "honky muther fucker" if he is white, or a "unca tom" if he is black. Judge decides that said individual would benefit from a little more butt fucking in the county jail and gives him a year.
Same situation. Different responses.
Attitude.
Firm
