I&#x27;m not judging -- I&#x27;m stating facts.  Also, I was hoping to hint at that policing crime isn&#x27;t the same as criminalizing being poor.  It&#x27;s possible to be flat out broke and not commit crimes.<p>Having grown up in a town where the high school graduation rate was below 80%, I can assure you that it&#x27;s not unfair to expect people from low-income families to know the consequences of their actions.<p>This is pretty far from my statement of not excusing or ignoring crimes committed by those in poverty, especially violent crimes.
