Default Re: This Is Going To Shock You

Sweet Jeezus, 2mega, four posts and you still can't explain how you drew your erroneous conclusion. You need to read this thread over in the morning when you're sober.

I think part of your problem is that you know nothing about reading comprehension, law enforcement and certainly don't understand the meaning of "racial profiling."

"Profiling" isn't mentioned anywhere in your original link but it sounds like the Chicago police are deploying the troops based on data analysis and criminal intelligence. They've figured out that the increase in homicides might be gang related and will deploy more assets in the neighborhoods frequented by gangs. Du uh!

It's no different that deploying more traffic cops in an area with a dramatic increase in traffic fatalities or more beat cops in an area with an increase in nighttime residential burglaries, etc, etc. Ask your (mythical) kid who is supposedly a cop (and probably lives on a houseboat too).

I don't know who "your goodbuddy" is (check behind you) but Ghost's point about cops profiling is right on the money. Some cops are as bigoted as you are, but there is a difference between situational awareness, good police work and simply rousting someone needlessly because of their skin color... No, I don't expect you to understand that since you couldn't understand and explain your original link.


You may have the last word...

The term "racial profiling" is a new word used since 1980.

It apparently is not found in the Merriam Webster or Encyclopedia Britannica Dictionaries.

The cops data analysis reveals Negroes are more likely, per capita, to be involved in crime so they selected certain neighborhoods where ALL citizens of the hood based on their color, are subjected to RACIAL PROFILING, hoping to identify law breakers among them and take the guilty ones through the legal process.

It has been used , mainly, when cops pull over drivers because of skin color but certainly it can be used in a broader concept, as I did in my initial post, this thread ;

Other questions also have been raised about the profiling of Arabic and Middle Eastern individuals. Even if, in the post–September 11 period, profiling was acceptable to prevent a reoccurrence of terrorist attacks, for how long should this practice be acceptable?

Moreover, if this practice is successful in preventing terrorist activities, should it be extended to other "suspect" groups, which may include African or Hispanic Americans?

These types of questions have been raised in other contexts. For example, commentators have suggested that the war on Drugs and Narcotics has clear overtones of racism.

According to a study in 1986, an African American was six times as likely as a white American to go to jail for a drug related offense.

By 1996, an African American was 22 times as likely to be incarcerated for such an offense.

Because the war on drugs has been an ongoing battle, several commentators have suggested that profiling in this war has become perpetual.

And then..there is THIS :

Quote:
"We now have a Republican nominee who said that the Arizona laws are a model for the country, that -- and these are laws that potentially would allow someone to be stopped and picked up and asked where their citizenship papers are based on an assumption," President Obama said in an interview with Univision that aired over the weekend.

"Racial profiling?" Univision reporter Enrique Acevedo asked.
Quote:


"Very troublesome. And this is something that the Republican nominee has said should be a model for the country," Obama said.

Uncle Obam seems to think America belongs to the Mexicans...some of us think America belongs to Americans.

As much as I despise Neocons, I may have to vote for the Romney Neocons over the Obama Neocons.

You start this thread with a ridiculous, unfounded, whole cloth accusation that a Jewish mayor is using racial profiling, and call that hypocrisy, but... now you say you'll vote for a non-Jew (in this case a Mormon) for the very excuse you used to trash the Jew? Talk about hypocrisy.

Houseboat, you're not only a liar, a bigoted douche, and a drunken buffoon – if your I.Q. was one point lower, you'd be legally dead.

Don't hold back, Ghost... tell us what you really think.

We're talking about the guy who posted 5 times on this thread and still can't figure out what racial profiling is. I think he's redefining stupidity one post at a time. I also think your remarks give too much credit to a person who views the world through the bottom of a bottle and thinks that the Neocons are still a power in DC.

There are several genuine issues (taxation, healthcare and the "Ryan budget" insanity top my list) being batted around that will have long range impact on American families, but the morons are focused on bullsh!t wedge issues. Color their grand-kids phucked. Poetic justice.

The instant I feel the need to take directions from a freaky old piss-soaked loser, I'll let you know... houseboat boy.

Ghost why don't research black crime statistics instead of using ad hominems like "racist" "bigot?"

]I'm aware of the stats therion, but if you're so danm stupid that you don't know this thread really isn't about that, nor were my remarks to houseboat... then you should probably lay off Rush for a while, and go back and try to finish the third grade.

Howzat for ad hominem, you dipsh!t?
