When Bigots Accuse

by Clark Baker

"I know, Officer - you're just stoppin’ me ‘cause I’m BLAAACK!”

Cops hear it every day, and although millions of hours and tax dollars are wasted each year to disprove false allegations, many blacks (and guilt-ridden whites) consider the non-existence of racial profiling as proof of an institutional cover-up that corroborates its existence.

Who needs more proof than that?

Trial lawyer Merrick Bobb, who faked portions of the Christopher Commission Report, blames “… the impossibly high burden of proof…” for the exoneration of the falsely accused. While Bobb rejects the value of evidence, he ignores facts that show officers stopping blacks and Latinos at rates that are consistent with (or lower than) high Latino and black crime statistics.

How many innocent white people does he think the LAPD should shake down before LA cops can question these suspects? Because they are overwhelmingly black and Latino, Bobb says these “patterns demand a response” without explaining that taxpayers will waste millions more on trial lawyers like himself who profit from these mythologies...

Yeah, like the cop could see through the dark tinted side windows of the Escalade at dusk...

One can tell a lot about people by the cars they drive and how the are kept and maintained and to think that cops do not profile cars would be silly.

it’s easier to understand where someone like LAPD Police Commissioner John Mack and Merrick Bobb would hear that white LA cops routinely engage in racial profiling - Mack attends the First AME Church.

If this isn't a wake-up call, I don't know what is.
