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?

IMO states are all different and have different issues. It should be up to that state (like statues that have no life) to vote on amd deal with. Unless someone is in that state, it they have no clue

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,,,

Another civil war, but no one can win..

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,,,

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?

I do not really concern myself with who is 'bigger', they all should be accountable. yes, that includes 'higher ups'.

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?

in a culture where things like facts, and right and wrong are totally subjective,,, there is no telling

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,,, 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.

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,,,

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?
