Police profiling is the devil!

Cops aren't specifically out to get blacks or any other group they are going after crime it just so happens that African Americans just seem to commit more of them. You call it a "sterotype" I simply call it a "Trend". Okay, take it as being racist but here is a little stat. And no i don't think EVERY black man is dangerous and going to commit a crime, I just like to point out they on AVERAGE they commit more crime than white people. "In 1995, one-third of African American men between the ages of 20 and 29 were under some form of criminal justice control (in prison, on parole or probation).[2] Some statistics report that African Americans are at least seven times more likely to murder, be murdered and/or incarcerated than white Americans.[3]" ^ The Punishing Decade: Prison and Jail Estimates at the Millennium.

And for the orange analogy I said before, just like how you had one bad orange doesn't mean all oranges are bad...Same goes on this particular issue. I am not saying every black man is a criminal. But because of the one experience your image of oranges are tarnished. Once again, I would like to point out the police aren't out to get you or your race. They are funded by state government and focus on groups that seem to have a higher crime rate. And I don't mean necessarily mean groups as in race. For example high school kids have parties, where often times there is under age drinking. Which just so happens to be a crime. Therefore, if they see a bunch of high school kids at one house and it seems like a party is going on and the cops have probable cause to believe there are laws being broken then they should break up the party and enforce the law. And to say they will harass you for NO reason i don't believe. They aren't just going to pull you over and see what you are up too, you would have to have given him a reason to pull you over i.e. a burned out tail light, not using blinker etc. That was the reason behind the story about the cop SC. The cop had no reason to pull over the man, therefore all charges were dropped. Same with you, if you aren't doing anything wrong YOU WON'T GET BOTHERED!! And you keep referring to it as harassment...Do you consider the checkpoints the cops set up to catch drunk drivers harassment? That is a brief delay and not everyone drinks and drives yet everyone is inconvenienced by there peers actions. Again, the TSA example i was using to point out that because of actions of others, we all now need to be inconvinced at the airport, and look at how many terrorists attacks have happened since then. I am not arguing the fact there maybe racist cops that may have a thing out to get a particular race or group. I am arguing that police profile in itself is a good effective way to fight crime. I am not saying an innocent person should be pulled over and "checked on" But that isn't the case. Police profiling makes sense, Pay more attention to the groups that are causing the crime. VOTE CON!!!
