sebstar, if you read the post directly prior to Nolads, Briggs mentions racial profiling.
I'll apologize for that oversight. The rest stands tho.
actually, this is kinda funny/ironic to me.
Did you initially just have a Gates-like over reaction kind of moment?
I guess you could have asked Nalod what he meant by his comment, but you went full hog, right?
Damn, you cats cant get over Gates can you, huh?
The rest stands because he is justifying racism by saying that cops will stop when it "yields less results"...thoughtless ridiculous comment.
So basically we are going to enforce second class citizenship on a group of Americans by violating their constitutional rights and justifying it because one finds a little weed on them or they have a suspended license or whatnot.
If cops just ran up in peoples houses at random and searched the entire home, they are more than likely going to find something illegal. Again its unconstitutional and it flies in the face of everything we have been taught about America.
But I guess that's expecting too much of you to understand that.
You go right to the black white thing as reflex.
Nobody said a dam thing about race.
Lets throw out a few profiles:
Tan skinned man wearing traditional middle east attire going on an airplane.
Same man walking into a middle eastern food market.
White teen driving brand new BMW thru a know drug seller street.
Same kid driving same car in parking lot to an AutoZone car parts store.
Mexican looking driving a white van with rear sagging heading north in SoCal.
Same guy driving same vehicle leaving lot in Home Depot.
Just the way you look at it and where you look.
