"Overprosecution" and "overconviction" denotes purposely prosecuting and convicting members of a specific group at a higher rate than another group. It is also a new concept to somehow label the criminal justice system as an inherently racist entity.
That specific racial groups are appearing in court disproportionate to
their numbers in the general population is a result of a
disproportionate crime commission rate among those specific racial groups.
Prove it.

BTW, I grew up in New York. I can give you anecdotal evidence of muggings and at least one race riot,
if it's anecdotes you want. Whether it's New York, Minneapolis, or Gadsden County, Florida, it's the same sad story.
I find it a G-d send that the Somalis settled here. They will show whites that black people moving into a neighborhood is not <de facto> synonymous with crime. The Somalis have a culture and belief system
that preclude anti social behaviors.
