When Cincinnati police officer Kevin Brown used a Taser to subdue an 11-year-old girl who was shoplifting from a Kroger, he made an astute observation.

Obviously, the threat of having goods stolen is the real reason why black and other impoverished communities find themselves in food deserts, right?
