I don't see anything wrong with it at all. If something works, and gets the desired results, why abandon it?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Amen.

If people don't want to be profiled, they should fix the problem at the source: their communities/subcultures. If those people commit crimes by greatly disproportionate numbers, then of course people will know that and will of course be suspicious of them. Calling people “racists” because they’ve observed this and are naturally cautious/suspicious as a result will not change the facts (the greatly disproportionate crimes), and it will not somehow cause people to become oblivious to that fact. As long as it continues, people WILL know it and WILL seek to protect themselves from it. The solution is to work on changing the values of the subculture/communities, and no one outside of those subcultures is going to be able to influence them (they’ll just be called “racists”). They’ve got to correct it themselves – together. When the crimes stop, and people see that it’s for real, the suspicions will fade. Being defensive about it, making excuses for it, denying it, will not change the reality. And trying to defend CRIMES just highlights the core of the problem: the pernicious mindsets and values of the subculture/community. It sure doesn’t fix the problem and it only reinforces reasons for concern/suspicion by others.

LOL Deb such an interesting question you pose. It is so funny to me that "profiling" is only a problem when it is used to stop, deter, interrup, abate, obstruct, pause, avast, surcease, or terminate criminals and their behavior. However you will never hear one of them complain when they are the ones "profiling" others. WHAT?? you say?? They "profile"...now BLEEP way dude!

Stop and think...how does the crimianl intent on robbing someone find his victim? He PROFILES HIM OR HER. How does the criminal intent on selling drugs find his buyer? He PROFILES HIM OR HER. How does the pimp looking for new hoes find his girls? He PROFILES them. How does the terrorist decide where to strike and who? He too PROFILES them. Carjackers Profile, Bankrobbers Profile, Rapists Profile and the list goes on.

It seems to me that the real problem here and why so many complain about this is because they KNOW it works because they have done it for years! Its kind of like the baker who finds out his super special secret recipe is being printed on the cracker box! I mean come on...how can a criminal be a criminal when everyone KNOWS and can spot him from a mile away??

Time to take your toys and go home little boys cause society has your number!

I had a feeling that MOST sensible, NON-CRIMINAL types of people would be in agreement with me. You're right, T, they copmlain, because they know it works, and then, "they be SOL, and outta bizness." Not only do we have their "number," we have their 8 X 10's in "CJIS", don't we, "BOYS"? LMLAO!!!

This may come as a complete shock to EVERYONE here who has responded and espescially to the author of this post, but I too, am in agreement with the issue of profiling, yet as in EVERYTHING in life...there are exceptions.

This may also come as a shock to you(primarily you Deb) but I am a Law-abiding, strictly Family-oriented citizen and in my times of leisure...I occasionally wear my hat slightly to the back and oversized jeans that provide more comfort FOR ME than the "ultra tight" fit of traditional jeans.(Though not sagging as you and your cohorts mistakingly deduce...I am much too aged(29)for that and shall leave that vile style to the youth of OUR generation)

Now, as a law abiding citizen...and because I CHOOSE to dress in a manner which elicits additional Police attention, I am NOT OFFENDED if and when an Officer of the Law opts to detain me(It has indeed occurred on more than one occasion thus far in my lifetime)...but what IS offensive TO ME is the "assumptive guilt" behavior of the Officer prior to AND even after determining my innocence. This is merely MY experience, but MY experience is all I can base my opinions on......thus, I sincerely hope you don't dismiss my words as the rantings of an "Angry Black Man" as it is merely MY TRUE experience...and as always...FOR ME...Laughter is good medicine.

" I detected the first "TEGG for SHERIFF" sign. I suddenly had the urge to urinate and since it was such a far walk back to my crackhouse, I knew I had to release the BEAST."
Oh yeah, fine, law abiding citizen, walking, stoned oout of your mind. your own personal crack house... (what no drivers license, hmmmm?)
If you DO have children, I'm sure they're well known to DCF on a first name basis!

Deb..
I try NOT to profile because I have been profiled before. I get picked at the airport "randomly" ALL the time! I dont know if its because I am tall or big or a man or black. but still it does get irritating. Its a good thing that I dont travel much. but for the most part I am a law abiding citizen and the cops for the most part leave me alone. LOL but seriously profiling to me is not good because you could of met a good person in the midst and you shouldnt be afraid of someone who is different. Remember the story about the Good Samaritan. but Deb IF you need someone to walk with you whenever you go to Parramore or Pine Hills give me a call. I will be there. LOL you can bring your gun. LOL We can look out for one another.

Absolutely not GayonitBank...I would never expose my precious girls to ANYTHING on this site...as this is not a site for children (MY personal opinion)...

I honestly thought there was redemption for you, however, everytime you type ANYTHING...you reveal your ignorance and PROUDLY revel in it......Amazing!!!

Thanks Deborah, This was great dinner conversation in my house tonight, a bit loud but great LOL

My mom and I get "randomly" picked at airports also. It is so stupid because we are small, white and female. Profile away! We don't fit that mold. Stop wasting resources! If there becomes a rash of small, white, women terrorists, then I will be happy to answer a few extra questions. Until then, you are barkin' at the wrong shrubs.

Hey, Deb, are you going to the Sara Palin thing on Sunday? We probably are. It will be the first any of us have heard a presidential nominee speak live and in person. I have no idea what to wear and if we will be seated or standing.

Well little willie, it is impossible to have intelligent conversation with someone as intellectually bankrupt as yourself.

I don't know what filth you are speaking of on my part, but yes, I would let my daughter read anything I have ever posted here.
However, I would NOT let her read yours!

That's obvious!
WilliamHoward: "Family man, upstanding citizen". My azz!

So that makes you "Family man, upstanding citizen" to expose other children, or kids to your filth. As long as your precious little gems are not exposed to your childish, pornographic wordplay.

Is THAT what you are saying little willie?

Did you wonder why your disgusting posts were removed? What conclusion did you come to?

Yeah, you are funny alright.

I would say retarded would be a better term!

You have a sense of humor that you would not expose your children to, and your momma would probably wash your mouth out with soap for.

But you expect us all to find this funny.

In your short time here, you have managed to make enemys of many of the regular bloggers here. This is funny? This is "humor"?

No, it is not. You are the ignorant one.
