I wish it would stop/The chickens will come home to roost.
Reader comment on item: To Profile or Not to Profile?

Submitted by Wali A. Razzaq (United States), Dec 14, 2006 at 21:54

Why do people Profile ? I think it is because of Racism,These pratices went on in the 90's. With the African Americans, In florida and all parts of the southern USA. 80% were found to be setup by the various Police Dept. for the so called war on drugs.

If profiling is so very good for this country it should be expanded to other areas of Law inforcements, can the police profile Child molesters ,such as the recently caught member of congress. they all knew of it but not one of them did a thing to protect the children from this feind Mark whatever the freaks name is .the so called ethics commity did the so call investigation and found no one did anything that warranted a dismissal or Jail .so they profile others as a show of the various levels of hatred in the USA remember the Japanese in ww2 some were born here were was the profilers when that fool McVeigh killed so many in Oklahoma City,a whiteman no one saw it coming.

But the guys that flew the airplanes into the twin towers,all were warned the fbi and the cia but when a woman in Minnesota told the of the activity,she was scorned and pushed aside..she was FBI.

stop this foolish waste of resources,on the innocent america citzens, they profile Richard Jewel in Atl. for the Bombing at the Olypmics in Atlanta ,he was arrested with every news camera in the State. Stop this no one to date has been caught .using the profiling .at least not the guilty.
