Now understand that most people in jail in the US are not convicted criminals. Most people in jail in the US, are poor people in jail pre-trial, just like this woman.

They're disproportionately Black. Many are 100% innocent.

Most of what cops do, is fine/arrest poor Black people, for minor charges.

Cops don't care if the person is really innocent or guilty.

Cops don't care if many innocent people plead guilty two crimes that they could not possibly have done, just so that they won't be in jail for 6 months to a year and lose everything.
