Cops kill people

Recommended Posts

If police (and everyone else) should be able to profile people, then it's not surprising the people profile police based on their experiences, and those of their family and friends and community.

I think that the officer responding as he did to Devonte was awesome, and I'm glad it got a picture.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

profiling, when based on behavior of the subject, not the experience of the observer, is an effective tool. But when someone mentions behavioral profiling, all anyone hears is racial profiling.

If the behavior of the subject is "driving a nice car," does that count? Where is the dividing line where one cop's experience with who he or she thinks is suspicious, vs. another one's?

I'm not trying to dogpile, but I think these are questions it's worth examining -- both my own reactions and thoughts, and probably others' as well.

Thread title - "Cops kill people"



thank goodness, we've finally all agreed that it's the person that kills, not an inanimate object

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
