A shooting goes down. A description goes out.

“Black men in a white Cadillac.”.

They see Black men in a White Cadilac.

What the hell are they supposed to do? Ignore them?.
Maybe they could be a little more gentle in their approach,but Damn: They would be pretty stupid not to check them out. Is this racial Profiling.? Hardly.

Maybe the troops were a little more agressive than necessary, that tends to happen when police are in their pack syndrome, but it doesnt justify screaming Racial Profiling.

Just a couple of months here in town, we had a fool who was being served a warrant, start shooting at the cops. He got himself killed in the return fire.

Perhaps the good guys decide that potential situations call for a vigorous response.

Whenever I shoot someone I always go to the nearest drive thru to get some chow.

Makes sense to me. :)

I'm the last one who would justify the use of too much force, but in this case there had already been a shooting, so approaching a vehicle matching the description justifies having a weapon drawn, IMO.
