A draconian legal doctrine called **felony murder** has put thousands of Americans — disproportionately young and Black — in prison
So the police broke a policy that was instituted to prevent people getting killed during high-speed chases, two people died, and the police officers involved suffered no consequences? Instead someone who was not even in the vehicle got life in prison?

Two sides to Korea
I mean Japan it this way with USA / Korea, and China probably as well? USA doesn't really learn Asian history enough to get the backstory.

Religon and science aren't necessarily incompatible.
Some religons say a higher power did stuff and it happened "because they're god, science is witchcraft"
Some religions say a higher power did stuff "because they're god" and science is just figuring out how they did it.
Knowing how stuff happened doesn't necessarily make a higher power impossible, nor less powerful. It's just cool.
