Why does the criminal justice treat black people harder ?

She was jailed for just spitting on the police officers face - UK

And as a white female, she received a community order for attacking 5 officers

Update:

The black lady was described as ‘a woman of significant violence. You regularly hit and hurt other people.’

    maybe because of the 90 previous offenses, just maybe, slightly, possibly, potentially.

    Source(s): blacks are statistically most likely to be repeat criminals as well

    It's blindingly obvious if you read the whole story.  It's nothing to do with race.  Bregazzi has 90 previous convictions over 13 years.  Clearly she has not learned a thing from all those sentences, she continues to be a rude, violent thug and committed the latest offences while on probation.  Of course the judge imprisoned her.  Nothing less would do.

    Gallacher, on the other hand, had no previous convictions and showed remorse.  A community order was therefore appropriate and proportionate.

    I'm not reading and researching all those details about those particular cases. In general black people tend to have more prior convictions, they resist arrest, are rude to the officers, and don't take plea deals. They have a mistrust of the justice system as well as a fundamental misunderstanding. You aren't fighting for your life when you get stopped for a chat when you're smoking weed in the park. You are if you then shoot at the officer.

    "Just spitting" -- And frankly , I've never seen an arrest where a person did not also "resist" the police officers ,as well as spit at them .

    And most people would consider someone spitting in their face ,as being far worse than simply them "resisting" having the handcuffs put on them .

    I bet if I put as much effort into it as you did to make it a one sided story, I could bring back some balance to the subject. "Check out these two very particular instances, this is super unfair to a certain group generally".

    Because they are more apt to offend. Because they do not change their behavior easily. Because blacks have stated their hatred of cops (in America "we want dead cops"). Because there might be more to the story.
