Stop and frisk’ is not racial profiling

[Mister D]

.....in lower economic residential areas.

Dark ones though.

Dark ones though.

Like Irish and Italians?

Like Irish and Italians?

Which Irish and Italian neighborhoods are crime ridden? I can't think of any and my state if full of micks and dagos.

The police are either doing too much or blamed for not doing enough. No matter what they will be the focus of disdain.

Well, of course, it's the old security vs liberty argument.

We discussed before and while in principle I agree it might violate some civil liberty I can understand how in practice, given limited resources, especially in recession recovery, selective stop and frisk is more efficient than general stop and frisk.

If that "selective" stop and frisk is based on probable cause, I agree. If it's based on being the wrong color for the neighborhood, I do not.

What is wrong with racial profiling? Only the majority should make laws. All this tyranny over the majority is the result of our anti-democratic Constitution. Quit being sissy slaves to authority! Judges can only judge cases, not laws.

Do you want a halo for your illusions of moral superiority? If you keep that attitude when faced with a feral-race criminal, you'll get your halo in Hug a Thug heaven. Or should I say to those with such a girlyman lack of intelligent prejudice, "A Punk Is a Hunk" heaven?

I think it's based on probability, statistics.
