for minor drug offenses.

If he could then take a flesh wound leaving court in a drive by he’d get 90% of the black and Hispanic vote.

Yeah that’ll fix it.
Pandering to the weak and lawless is never a way to be a real leader.

Sounds like something the Democrats would do though.

There are minorities overwhelmingly jailed for minor drug offenses in federal prison?

Thomas sowell and Ben Shapiro talk about this often:

There is no “jailed for minor drug offenses” problem in America.

It’s based on egregious misreading of the stats.

The stats *do* show that there are an enormous number of people in jail who have drug charges/convictions, but that is just *part* of why they are in jail. They are in jail for more serious offenses, often involving guns or domestic violence.

Please educate yourself.

Of the Americans currently sitting in a jail cell while carrying drug charges, about 87.5% were charged with other things as well

What he needs to rally on is how minorities can be railroaded by the government, just like him, but don’t have the assets to fight it.

FYI POTUS can only pardon offenses against the United States (i.e. federal crimes)

The overwhelming majority of minor drug offenses are state or local, which he can’t do anything about. Considering the feds don’t arrest people for “minor drug offenses” to begin with, this would just be empty pandering far beneath him

Who about all people for minor drug offenses?

Why would a black and Mexican walk free for something but not a white man?

frick pandering for votes, do the right thing.

I hate this democrat talking point. If you open the morning paper you will see the majority of the time it’s blacks who were either arrested or wanted for a crime. Should we not jail them because the optics looks bad. Well good news for you because the blue cities are releasing criminals without having to post bail to go and commit other crimes

Fantasy. Look into their pasts. Nobody is going to prison for minor drug offenses. There are diversion programs for that.

Frick that.

If anything we need to lock more of them up or push for more death penalty cases.

It makes no sense to argue on one hand that people coming here illegally are often criminals escaping their homeland destined to commit crimes, and then turn around release large amounts of inmates here in the US. Trump is becoming more popular among blacks because they see Biden as an imbecile, and realize that they were better off financially when Trump was in office.

Minorities need to stop committing crimes. It’s that simple. We don’t have a criminal justice problem we have a crime problem.

You do realize that the overwhelming majority of those imprisoned for "minor" drug offenses are imprisoned because of being multiple repeat offenders, right?

Recidivism among drug offenders is well above 80% statistically, and sadly. And, perhaps more importantly, institutionalization is very real. Our "correctional" system only turns convicted criminals into bigger, stronger, faster and smarter criminals in many, many cases.

The easiest way to get off drugs and out of the game, is to never be on them and in the game. Single parent households and kids raised by the street (all catalyzed by Liberal policies and tenets) combine to grow a deeply seeded propensity toward both narcotics use/abuse and violence. The two are not mutually exclusive.
