    We already do give kids reduced sentences, at least white kids like that rapist Brock Turner.

    Maybe we could advocate for reduced sentences for minorities convicted of petty crimes instead of people who actively tried to overthrow the government.

      Unfortunately, Brock Turner’s judge was lenient to everyone – and civil rights groups actually liked and approved of him for his lenient sentences across the board, even to minorities. Hence firing him ultimately did more harm than good.
