Racial profiling is a useful tool for law enforcement and use of this should be encouraged.

Racial profiling definitely should not be encouraged in law enforcement. Most obviously, it violates the 14th amendment by not granting equal protection under the law for all citizens. It violates the due process of the law because there's not enough evidence of a crime to justify searching or stopping a person. You quote some statistics that say black people commit more crime. Except, no, actually, your website shows that "non-white" people commit more crime. There are only two categories: white, and non-white. So which races should we profile based off of this information? It sounds like you just want a free pass for white people, which is just blatant white supremacy. Even if the statistics were legit, it wouldn't matter. Obviously, if the police are told to search specific races more often than others, then those targeted will get arrested more. Arrest statistics don't necessarily show who is committing more crime; instead, it just shows who gets arrested. I think we need to revisit your statistics source, because it's rather confusing. There's a third column that I didn't mention because it just says "All Races," which would lead one to believe that it is just the combination of the white and non-white column, but let's take a look at murder. White says 3.0, non-white says 14.8, and so the All Races must be 17.8, right? No. It's 5.2. And what do these numbers even mean? It can't be total number of cases, because 1) way more murders happen in this country than just 17.8, and 2) how can .8 of a murder occur? Well, then it must be percent, right? No, because some columns have as much as 1,000. How can more than 100% of people commit a crime? And it can't just be the increase from 2000 to 2001, because murder increased by a total of 3%. But even if your statistics were right, or if the statistics didn't operate using circular reasoning, that still wouldn't make racial profiling justifiable. In 2010, 2,846,862 African Americans were arrested (28% of all arrests for that year) (1). In 2010 there were approximately 38.9 million African Americans in the US (2). So even in a country that, at the time, openly racial profiled people, 7% of black people were arrested. 7%. That means you are stopping people, harassing people, discriminating and openly oppressing a group of individuals for the color of their skin for a 7% chance at getting an arrest. And not all of those arrests were due necessarily to racial profiling, so there's even less of a chance of catching somebody. Which leads me to my next point. African Americans have a history of being maltreated by white societies. We enslaved them, then we lynched them, and now we have our police harass, shoot, and lock up black Americans in droves. Why is there a culture of mistrusting white people in the black community? Because we still have people clamoring for further abuse of AA rights. Because we still have people believing the color of one's skin leads to a higher chance of crime. Finally, how does racial profiling help the communities? Practically the only people who will be arrested from these searches are non violent offenders. How does removing a potential mother or father figure from a family help anybody? Your move.
