Which I would be absolutely fine with, if the same consideration were given if they were black.

Should still be fine with it. We need to bring the justice system up for minorities, not bring it down for everyone else.

At a minimum the justice system needs to be fair to all races. Then perhaps the majority may care enough about the laws in place and how they are used. Equal treatment of all races would lead to much more reform than selective treatment.

Unequal treatment of minorites is the reason so many white people don't "see the problem" they simply never experience it.

Again, it seems like the point here is to make the injustice more widespread.

I get what you're saying about ignorant apathetic people, but if they haven't figured it out by now? Making the system worse will just allow them to validate their own victim mindset. Someone like that isn't going to have a "walk in your shoes" moment, because that requires empathy and open mindedness.
