Interesting to note how mainstream media meekly accepts not being allowed to talk to Trump supporters at these events.

Police can't find shooters outside of a police station?

Sound logic, no need to investigate.

"If convicted, she could spend hundreds of years in prison."
So they embalm her after the first, say, eighty, and keep her corpse in the cell for the balance?

Justice Scalia Under Fire For Comments About Black Students
by HALIMAH ABDULLAH
Justice Antonin Scalia continues to come under fire from civil rights attorneys and black lawmakers for his comments suggesting African American students might fare better in a "slower-track school" rather than more competitive colleges.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case about race-based admissions, a controversial case centered on practices at the University of Texas. Scalia questioned whether some minority students are hurt by the policy because it helped them gain admittance to schools where they might not be able to academically compete.
"There are those who contend that it does not benefit African Americans to get them into the University of Texas where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well," Scalia said referencing an amicus brief.

This references the briefs. Thomas summarizes the data in his response from the last time this case was heard.
Cliffs Notes: it is politically unpopular to raise Scalia's point, yet the data suggest that he is right.

meanwhile in Utah
Just scanned the report. As far as personal obervations. Growing up in NY, generally speaking people were segregated by wealth, with minorities disproportionately in the poorer areas. When I moved to Cincinnati I was stunned to see rigid segregation across all classes. There were poor black or white neighborhoods, black or white middle class neighborhoods, black or white rich neighborhoods. There was little integration in regards to businesses that served those neighborhoods, grocery stores etc. I think this is fairly common in the midwest.
It was the same when I was in Cleveland.
The mixed proffessional/blue collar middle class neighborhood where I live seems to be fairly well integrated, a lazy scan of my neighbors reflects the regional demographics. Not so much the case in the city. I can tell you exactly what school district a kid belongs to by the color of their skin. Things have changed a bit with growing gentrification and skyrocketing housing prices.
Technically, not about race.
#blackactorsmatter . . . or maybe they don't?

"controlled substance felony conviction", but isn't that work experience ? Seems like that should be in the applicants favor.
I am actually surprised it isn't higher. Must have been a light sample.
