And we also need to remember that police approach blacks differently than they approach whites, leading to different outcomes. Studies show that young students even get disciplined more harshly in schools if they are black, as well.

Possibly because by the time a cop has finally decided to go after a white guy, he's already gone through proper decision making procedures and is now more likely to be dealing with an actual criminal? If (God forbid) police homicides were fully reported, would we find that a higher percentage of blue on white killings were legitimate, while a higher percentage of blue on black killings were simply
"our laws defer to the cop because we hired him, so while the dead guy did nothing wrong, we can't prosecute the cop"?
All Darc- your sex revolution wouldn't be a problem without religions (and "religious" people) actively fighting the availability of birth control. It's funny how life is sacred until birth, then that life suddenly becomes a burden on society and the parents are horrible people. Allow (even fund?) birth control, and suddenly you don't have all this forced sterilization talk.
If you're written off by society as a burden from day one and your parents are demonized for having you, what stake do you have in society? You've been not simply abandoned, but actively pushed out... and then called a criminal. That's society's fault, not yours. The government and established religions called you their enemy from the day you were born and now are disappointed with how you turned out? I'm calling bull****.
