@Merovie It is absolutely true that poor people are targeted by police. That's just a fact. What the brilliant scholar you're quoting has missed is that black (and pretty much anyone who's not white) people are far larger targets by an order of magnitude regardless of their economic status and poor black people get it double for being both.

Hate it when folks like that are partially right because correcting their obvious wrongness can distract from things like the fact that economic class IS a factor even though race is a *far greater* factor.

People like that make intersectionalism far more difficult.
