Opponents of sober law enforcement constantly tell us that they are guided — but we aren’t — by “science” and “evidence-based solutions.” If you bow down to their views, you’re not merely “compassionate,” but, perhaps more importantly, you’re “smart.” This is why “smart on crime” always turns out, if and when you can decipher all the razzle-dazzle language, to be merely soft on crime.
Maybe I’m reading this wrong, so please correct me if necessary.
If “mental states” are not the basis for crime, doesn’t it have to be biological? African-Americans commit more crimes proportionally, so is the author indicating that African-Americans are somehow biologically inferior?
That would be an interesting conclusion, to say the least.
Oh man you are such a troublemaker!

Seems like a scam
