they were equally as destructive as those looting and hurting people. they showed that trump is somehow above the law, allowing him to commit crimes against humanity that should, in any real society, make him rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life. instead, he conned you into believing it’s okay to overthrow democracy if it’s in service of their hateful MAGA cult
When you take into account socioeconomic variance, crime is committed at the same rate by race. The reason for the difference in base rates is because black people are both more likely to be poor and more likely to be on average economic standing but live in a poor neighborhood as compared to white people.
That logic falls flat when it works both ways. You could say that being impoverished leads to criminal behavior, but I would counter that criminal behavior like counterfeiting small bills, or assaulting a pregnant woman leads to being impoverished because it is financially punished and is not very lucrative in the first place.
