Yes we all know that they won't, because of three words: "public sector unions." We had a cop in Seattle who threatened to 'beat the f***ing Mexican pi**" out of a guy" and was caught on tape. He is still on the job. If I had done that at my job, I would have been escorted to the parking lot and perhaps sued. And I am union, just private sector union. The cop is not only still on the job, the city paid a settlement of $150,000 to his victim. If you're a private sector worker, you pay your own settlement and perhaps have to sell your home to cover it.
We have a dual caste system now, and if you're not a public sector worker, you are not in the upper caste.

as a white male, I wish I were racially profiled everyday of my life. imagine that. statistically speaking, I will pay my bills. statistically speaking, I work, and have good credit. the only people who are pissed off about being racially profiled are the people that suck.

Not really true. James Golden AKA 'Bo Snerdly' AKA Rush Limbaugh's producer is a black guy. He lived here in the Seattle area for a while when the internet boom was taking off. He had left the Limbaugh show and was trying to get in on the ground floor of internet broadcasting with some other local conservative talkers. I remember Michael Medved commenting on how James Golden was pulled over all the time, just for being a black guy in a nice car in a wealthy neighborhood.
Rest assured that James Golden works and has good credit.
I hesitantly defer to the judgement of the police officers....but on the surface it seems these particular police officers were overzealous and out of line.
wow. i live like 15 minutes from burnsville and have gotten pulled over in burnsville in the past. come to think of it now, i remember the white officer having a surprised look on his face when he saw my record was clean.
