  i know bad cops exist in many cities.

  i know some cops who aren’t “bad” but do have an attitude.

  however, i prefer to have law and order as opposed to chaos.

  Ok Simon you obviously are a sad white man who hates black people. You absolutely refuse to believe facts and twist arguments. I've been detained 3x without ever comitting a crime. 88% of people stoppped by stop and frisk were innocent and had their time wasted. You refuse to believe that there is still racism and injustice. You think so little of black people that you can't believe we're nuanced enough to know the difference between reasonable policing and biased policing.

  Now since you want to complain about black people do I need to remind you that white people have killed more people in the last few hundred years than anyone else? Greedy white men have almost tanked the financial system via fraud. White people led the largest organized crime organizations in the United States. White people committed the holocaust. White people call black people lazy while relying on slave labor. Black people died in every American war, even though white people wouldn't let them stay in the same barracks. White people stole land from the natives all over the Americas and in other parts of the world and killed them. Less than 70 years ago White men lynched black people and bombed churches and escaped prosecution. Europe was the theater for the most brutal wars in modern history. To me it sounds like white people are the scourge of the planet. But since I'm not a bigot like you, I don't live my life dwelling on it and being angry. Ive seen your old posts. You're a pathetic insecure man. Ironically in my experience the biggest racists are the least intelligent people. Thankfully most people I know personally are intelligent and i enjoy having friends of all races and cultures.

  Hey Simon how about some reading comprehension. The time i was stopped in front of my house and the time i was pulled over were separate occurences.

  You just said facts don't matter. Your anecdotes can't erase data. Imagine if doctors or scientists thought like you. "Who cares what the data says. I don't need to wash my hands before surgery. None of my patients has gotten an infection."

  There are certain behaviors that are largely associated with specific types of individuals. The issue is that when these types of individuals end up aligning with racial lines, we all get into a moral panic, because somehow we are all supposed to believe that all races behave exactly the same way.
  

  And what might those behaviors be? It's sad people still hold these racist views in 2019 that have been repeatedly disproven for years. Are you trying to suggest some minority groups are naturally violent?

  This is all factual.

  Fact 1 - Violent crime overall has reduced significantly in recent decades.

  Fact 2 - A disproportionate amount of violent crime is committed by racial minorities.

  While violent crime is decreasing overall the number of public mass shootings is increasing rapidly.

  Please come with facts to the discussion. United States violent crime rate has decreased by 51% since 1993. This article points out that public perception doesn't match the data as many people think crime is increasing.

  White men should not be allowed to own semi-automatic weapons since they almost exclusively are the demographic who commit mass shootings in America. Perhaps we also need to start pulling over more white male drivers and give them sobriety tests since a disproportionate amount of white males are arrested for DUI/DWI. Might save some lives.

  So, the Police Dept. profile the suspect. They're looking for a guy who's approx. 5' 8 to 5' 10, medium build, with white, possibly pale skin, and a thick red beard (or heavy red 'shadow' if he's since shaved), and ginger hair. The police wouldn't be looking for black men or black women or Asian men or Asian women in this scenario, right?

  It's already beem established that we were talking about racial profiling which is not only illegal but lazy

  What does it mean to support the police anyway? I'm grateful for law enforcement and i respect the law. But that doesn't mean being an apologist for racist behavior.

  Also all humans are biased. Acknowledging your biases doesn't make you a bad person. Racial bias in law enforcement has been demonstrated repeatedly. That doesn't make law enforcement evil or bad. However as a society we should work to overcome those biases to the best of our ability. Advocating for racial profiling is the opposite and ironically violates the law officers are supposed to uphold.
