* EvilDebtCollector: The over policing of poor black neighborhoods has elements of this....like ''A LOT''. Bias in law enforcement built a system that use arrest warrants to squeeze money out of poor black residents.

It ended up costing her more than $1,000 and 6 days in jail. A singled missed, late or partial payment of a fine could mean jail time.

* JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife: Just ask Atlas who died over a ''very'' minor traffic violation. Further more Phaedra points out that how mostly small offenses can lead to huge problems when low-income people have trouble paying the fines. If someone can't pay the fine off immediately, many additional fines will be added until paying the fine off is all but impossible, at which time they will be jailed for failure to comply; if the defendant attempts to contest the charge in court, they're more often than not issued a court-appointed lawyer who is so overworked they have no time to actually look at a case, and instead prompt their clients to just settle with a plea deal that is usually horribly unfair. There is also the problem that some states require you to pay for these lawyers yourself − if you can't, you're fined, and the process starts all over again, causing a ViciousCycle. Black residents are particularly targeted this way, usually fund police thru fines, bench warrants and jailing people for non payment—abuses.

The story of three young black female siblings returning from military service only to learn that their father Atlas Leveaux was killed by police officers in a random traffic stop. Of course the more they dig they find all kinds of terrible things related to the local government and police forces. Luckily for them they have just taken over a clan of ninjas called ''The Hidden''[[note]]Also informally known as ''The Shadow''[[/note]] made up of remnants of the Iga-ryu (伊賀流) and the Koga-ryu (甲賀流), unfortunately for their hometown when they return home bodies start to pile up. ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Lots and lots of bodies]]''. The story takes place primarily in Louisiana (specifically Baton Rouge), and Japan. Themes found within deals with Institutional corruption, institutional racism, how far is too far for revenge and justice.

**Phaedra notes that It’s an economic system that processes poor POC like raw materials. Starting with police, prosecutors, lawyers, courts, and prisons. If the war on drugs stopped, this lucrative system would be destroyed. That’s why the abysmal outcome is ignored. It's based on a false premise.

* [[ShelteredAristocrat Sheltered Upbringing]]: To a certain extent the Leveaux siblings might be this. They're not naive to things like sexism and racism. In fact the girls dealt with sexism in the marine corp, and Ares might have been pulled over for driving while black once. But they definitely seem to be somewhat sheltered from a lot of modern social justice issues regarding race. A relative even scoffs about them, saying the Leveaux siblings believed that "they were safe" from police harassment and other similar problems, because of their upper middle class upbringing and military service. But in the end they got their "[[RealityEnsues nigger wake up call]]". So basically while not naive they're definitely not "woke" either.

*** Also, bureaucrats who claim to pursue "public safety" choose to exclude several million physical & sexual assaults by police from the "crime data" they publish. Then there's the fact that there's reporters who omit this fact from news stories about "crime rates". It's also complicated, because for local reporters on the crime beat their law enforcement sources are their daily bread & butter. Regardless though, they have to treat them like any other source & actually fact check. But they rarely do, likely do to fear of losing access. There's also probably pressure from up top too.
