> how does income affect stop-and-frisk or drug possession arrests?

It's typically poor communities that these tactics are done in. I think the tactics are reprehensible, and race probably does have something to do with it, but I've also seen cops roll up into rural trailer parks to start shit, too. What gets lost in a lot of the media narrative is how poor folk in general get taken advantage of by the authorities.

Yes, our social institutions treat the poor reprehensibly, and it does present a huge problem that doesn't get addressed as often as it should.

The fact still remains, though, that our social institutions treat poor black folks much worse than poor white folks.
