Profiling is certainly not an exact - or sometimes even fair - science, but it's done every day, and for good reason.

its also illegal
cant have it both ways
so, your saying its ok for cops to break the law in order to stop others (who have a constitutional presumption of innocence) from breaking the law?
Nope. not in this country. Maybe ok in China or Iran but not here
Ive been handcuffed 1 time by a cop that was a good 10 years younger than me and gave me attitude and tossed me into the back of the car. If given the chance at that moment, i would have bashed his brains in by any means possible. So, to me, its no wonder these kids struggle. Your instinct at that moment is to fight or flee. And its no wonder the cops fight back like this because they are scared for their lives too....its no wonder these situations end up bad
of course as an old man now, i know better than to be anything other than peaceful and polite to a cop. Even better, I give them no reason at all to be a part of my life
