What a vague statement intended to create havoc. What does one have to do with the other? Sounds like an LSAT logical reasoning? In other words ridiculous.
'people of color' are disproportionately affected by covid-19 because they don't follow social distancing guidelines. Hence, they are disproportionately arrested when ignoring such guidelines. Their selfishness is matched only by their stupidity.
