individuals can profile,

people being paid to do a job cannot, especially if any of those they are profiling are some of the 'taxpayers' responsible for their checks,,,

that's just igmorant... so if the police are looking for a Mexican bank robber, they should pull over black people? Just what are you trying to say?

there is a huge difference between having a SPECIFIC crime recently committed with a SPECIFIC individual that has been witnessed and described

and having a GENERAL stereotype of what people committing certain crimes will look like,,,

noone is whining, people are posting and responding to posts,,

noone is tying the police's hands by expecting them to DO THEIR JOB

that is the point

doing their job should not mean they have the right to abuse authority, if the only way for them to do the job is by abusing the authority it gives them, they need a different job,,,and good riddance,,,

There's always you going to be some bad cops, no matter what... isn't it a bigger problem that their bosses allow it to happen, and do nothing after the fact? Dems blame the officers, but it's the higher ups that are the problem, get rid of them and the officers would behave differently... the chiefs, mayors, and council members do all the hiring and firing, and write the policies... so who is the bigger problem?

did he get shot? or did he disappear? did they ever find a body?

hmmmmm

I don't know, in the song he admitted to shooting the sheriff but said he didn't shot the deputy!

I know. But they never declared whether there was a body or a missing person which caused him to make that confession?

maybe the DEPUTY shot the sheriff, mistaking him for a potential illegal immigrant?

All chit rolls downhill... start at the top, the rest will fall in line...
I do not really concern myself with who is 'bigger', they all should be accountable. yes, that includes 'higher ups'.

haaaaa

nah, you have to know I am joking and not of the 'conspiracist' mindset,,,,

individuals can profile,

if you not guilty of breaking the law than why should anyone care if your stopped for questioning . The topic of profiling is as absurd as the topic of how it's unfair to ask minorities to have a valid ID to vote. Makes no sense.

its only 'absurd' if you are not one of those being harassed,,,

the 'if you didnt do anything wrong' argument doesnt hold any more water than it does for illegal wiretapping,,

people expect to be treated with a certain 'respect' and level of decency, treating them 'suspicious' merely for their race or gender does not live up to that standard,,,

ever heard of license checks, so I guess anyone that looks Mexican should not be stopped. Do you feel harassed when you have to stop for a license check or your vehicle may be similar to a vehicle description and cause you to be pulled over. Do you get mad or are you glad the cops are doing their job to keep people safe?
