I love how whites always use "their black friend" as their way of saying "It must be true, my black friend said it was".
Really? Blacks can be just as unethical as whites. You do know that right?
Just because your "black friend" does it, doesn't make it right.
Whites are the most naive people that I have ever met.
Well, I worked with the guy at another job, got to know him and he applied and got a job at the police department in my community, we keep in touch. I have no way of proving this, and really could care less whether you believe it or not. If the police set up a road block to search for a bank robber who happens to be black, should we ignore checking cars with black folks because it might offend you/them? Why don't you get real man and quit being over sensitive. They profile sometimes because it works, I doubt very much they will pull over a carload of black guys if they are looking for a white guy with blonde hair and a tattoo on the side of his face.
This reality signals to a larger social phenomenon: black individuals who commit crimes are representative of their whole communities, crime is racialized, and there is no qualifier of individual intent. All black people are deemed suspicious and guilty because of the

Something that doesn't happen with any other race. Certainly not whites.
Deeds of a very few? Ha, crime in the black community is almost epidemic and you know it, but as is typical, in denial.
Just as a side, as you know, I believe this forum is filled with a lot of uneducated people. No one with good sense is going to say the ass backwards things that are said on this forum.
These fools do not represent the majority, in the real world, and as you know, there are a lot of white people that do "get it" and they do understand, both liberal and conservative. Unfortunately, this forum is filled with the trash.
Because you say so! Sayer of sooth, know all, see all much?
When it comes to raising revenue, harassment, and falsifying/planting evidence, its blacks and other minorities (blacks, poor people, hispanics, people with certain cars or who dress a certain way) who suffer the most. Statistics show the number of stops on people of color and other traits depending on area, are extremely disproportionate to the current majority (whites, upper middle class whites particularly).
Why should they be allowed to do this and is this the intended purpose of a government Police force to begin with?
Private Police forces can be maintained with much more transparency and due process.
We currently have the highest incarceration rate (per capita and raw numbers) in the world.
What are you going to do about it?
Your questions do not make any sense.

Hmm, well if you are in an area where blacks are the majority that live in that particular area.....makes sense that most of the stops by police would be on black people. DUH
Why should they be allowed to do this and is this the intended purpose of a government Police force to begin with?
Be allowed to do what? Stop people in the neighborhood?? Because, it is their job...

OK......

People need to stop committing crimes. If you think the government is going to stop people from committing crimes....well, good luck.
Uh; mass shootings ain't that much of a "white" thing in 2013; many Blacks and even a few Asians are doing those same things.
Rape: I don't know what group of dudes are worse; either Black or white.
Pedos: I'm quite sure many kids of any color get hurt by Black pedos as well as by white ones.
You gotta remember us whites about 6 times the number of people in the US compared to Black people so in numbers there'd be more "white" crime.
You can't explain this to people. There are some black people who have hatred for whites....of course, there are some white people who have hatred for black people.
Difference is
A black person having hatred for white people = you enslaved us, you owe us
A white person having hatred for black people = racism
I doubt if white inner males get treated the same way black inner males do.
I SE PLENTY of white males with hoodies, sagging pants,etc....
I work in a Federal Building. Most of the people that visit the building are white trashy people that are visitng the social security office.
Pure white trash. I'll put money on it.....those white guys that dress in "street" attire are not getting profiled the way black men that dress the same way are.
Your logic is just plumb dumb.
Yes and I'm sure those trashy white males are getting treated with the utmost respect from LEOs.

If I haven't done anything to be classified as a thug, why should I be lumped in with the thugs who happen to be Black? And this isn't a rhetorical question. I'm seeking as answer.
Sure, I could be angry at those who fulfill the stereotype, but then I also have to consider that Blacks have been viewed as inferior and have been treated as such from day one, so I can also be mad at those who apply those stereotypes to me.
Are you walking around with sagging pants? If not then those stereotypes don't apply to you. People say they don't want to be harass by cops but if you choose to dress and act a certain way, your chances of getting harass are a lot higher. By your logic, if a woman walks by with a low cut shirt showing her cleavage off, and a mini skirt with high heels, the thought wouldn't cross you're mind that she's promiscuous or easy?
What better way for the police to raise revenues than aggressively go after folks that have no money. Makes perfect sense.
