No. But I do notice that most of the anti-Black threads have been started by right wing types. It boils down to this. Why do most who complain about Blacks right wingers and most who complain about Whites left wingers?

If profiling end up in more criminals being caught and put away, it creates safer environment for you.

Not always. Sometimes the wrong person gets profiled. I have seen it up close and person. Racial profiling doesn't make me feel safer. It just makes me want to be more discreet when I am in public.

The best indicator is how the individual is behaving. If the individual is behaving in some way that is bizarre and possibly harmful, check it out. Here is where it gets sticky. What is considered bizarre behavior?

Same might go for the suspects, if the cops' cameras were in plain view.

A sighted community is a polite community?

Now, s'cuse me while I adjust my sights.

If they are randomly picking people from the airport to have body pad down to prevent bomb being brought on to the planes, and they are only allowed to pick 3 people per hour, and they pick a 65 year old black grandma, a 8 year old white boy, and a college age Korean-American girl, they are wasting resources and time. Don't you agree?

Let's say they are allowed to pick 100 per day and 90% of them belong to similar profile as the 3 I mentioned above, don't you agree that it is still waste of resources?

Sometimes, it's a full blown PRODUCTION (see Sandy Hook)

Sandy wasn't wearing a camera, but the news helicopter crew was.
