So, if your job is gang enforcement, and 95% of all suspects and victims in gang shootings are black and hispanic, are you racist for stopping more blacks and hispanics? Or are you reverse-racist if you stop 25% whites, cause that is disproportionate to the crimes? I am confused. It seemed to make sense that you go where the crime is, but Matt has me all dizzy.

DamosA,
It sounds like you are grouping all police officers as evil and racist, when quite frankly, that kind of dogmatic view is the same thing that you are accusing the police of having. Implying that all police officers are racist, that no police officer has any intent of serving the public, and that they are all abusive of their power is strikingly similar to the idea that all black people are criminals or that all attractive women are whores.

Yes, there are some police officers that are racially profiling, but there are others that are good, upstanding officers of the law who are working against that. Just like there are some African Americans who break the law, and others who do not.

Before we insist one group stops stereotyping us, let's try not to stereotype them.

And, for the record, I do believe that in Amber Alert cases it is almost always white, Christian males between 25-65 who do get detained. That is documented.
