Police Brutality And Mass Media Analysis

Do you think the justice system is fair or equal? Or is there a thin line between whites and blacks when it comes to justice. In pop-culture, the mass media makes the criminal justice system look very flawed. Within the last few years mass media has showed flaws in the press, police techniques and hate and then conservation rates due to the criminal justice system. If we didn 't have such outlets as Twitter Instagram Facebook etc. Do you think such things would 've been brought to America 's attention or was it there all along and just hidden.
