A total disgrace to post this article on this site. It's embarrassing and sad really. Can the last person here turn the lights off. I'm out...

Pardon, the ugly inference I'm taking away is that Black persons should immune from prosecution sir/ma'am. One might find it biased that they are getting convicted, but that presumes that widespread systemic cheating is uniformly distributed regardless of the race of the teacher & student for which no evidence has been presented. We might be more concerned with the Black kids who were deprived of their early educations at these schools with 95+% Black enrollment rather than the race of the perps hmm? We also might wonder what is it about the nature of these communities in Atlanta that made it so easy for dozens of Black teachers and administrators at every level of the APS system to defraud the system and these kids out of their educations without anybody (parents) asking questions. Honestly, that dozens of school teachers in one district could be so thoroughly corruptible speaks volumes and it ain't sounding pretty. And you might consider that Black persons on the whole have far worse academic outcomes even when controlling for income. So we shouldn't be surprised that we find incidents like this among predominantly Black schools where A) the grades and scores were likely to be poorer to begin with and thus B) the incentives and opportunities for districts to cheat is far higher.

All true statements (expect the tied up for years part). Also try being suspicious or modestly disorderly in a nyc street or subway without identification....you stand a good chance of getting a vagrancy charge or a disorderly conduct charge if they feel like it. and yes, you will sit in jail alot longer than otherwise until you can be identified and there's nothing wrong with that.

don't be so sure. maybe you wish unsubstantiated statements like "clearly violates the fourth amendment" were the case, but there are just not. the 4th plainly and clearly protects us from "unreasonable" searches and seizures...as in one should feel protected from such governmental action in one's home or another place where one reasonably expects one's privacy. places like your car, the public street, or a police station interrogation room are not such places. the Constitution is not a series of court cases btw.
