2. If they do, do they resist arrest? When they do that, you can compare them to Eric Garner. :rolleyes: |

I've done a lot of stupid shit in my day and have encountered police more times than I care to admit and the worst thing that ever happened to me was once when I was stopped for the heinous crime of having my car registration lapse, my then 14 daughter wanted to get out of the car to get some air and the cop came flying up to her screaming, "Get back in the car! Get back in the car!" At which point, I was blatantly rude and said, "We're in Chinatown...don't you think there are some real criminals you might want to yell at?" Of course, I'm white, so I'm here to tell my story. |

From the article:
"It makes good headlines to say this is occurring, but I don’t think you can validate it until you look into the circumstances they were stopped in," said Bernard Parks, the former chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, who is African American. "Now if you want to get into the essence of why certain groups are stopped more than others, then you only need to go to the crime reports and see which ethnic groups are listed more as suspects. That’s the crime data the officers are living with." Blacks made up 73 percent of the shooting perpetrators in New York in 2011 and were 23 percent of the population. While I don't disagree for a moment that racial profiling exists, it deserves an honest discussion and not knee-jerk reactions. Otherwise, we'll be searching old grandmothers at the airport while letting young men of Middle Eastern ethnicity board without scrutiny. Oh, wait ....;) |
