I agree. Racism got that clown elected and it’s most surely affecting our criminal system. The Obamaloon is hiring them all for his staff.

Please don’t confuse us with facts.

In the PD that I worked for if a crime occurred in a black neighborhood, we would immediately go the the white neighborhood looking for the perp. That way we couldn't be accused of profiling. Of course, we didn't make many arrests. /sar

Obama must not understand CJ statistics, and what the criminal statistics show...now I am not saying we should racially profile, but when they are looking for a RAPIST or THIEF who is described as a 6’ black man, who weighs 200 lbs, then may be they should be stopping 6’ black men, who weigh 200 lbs, as opposed to white men weighing 150 lbs.

I would not be looking for jhadists who are 90 yrs old, white and attending a synagog, if a threat was called in to the local hospital. However I might consider surveillance on the local mosque of young men meeting secretly carrying packages that could hold bombs. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY have been threatening to blow up something....sadly, they will most likely be middle eastern, or sympathetic to the cause.

SHEESH! Common Sense PLEASE.

LOL!

Don’t hold your breath.

Much to the chagrin of most politicians. profiling is a valuable LE tool. Anyone who tells you that it isn't a tool and not being used on a day to day basis is lying.

Obama is right. Racism is rampant in the criminal system.

They turned loose Black Panthers who blatantly threatend voters at the polls. Set them loose Scott-free, as if it never happened.

Rcism is sitting in the White House today. Not surprising to me.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Notice how they do things. Something that wasn’t racist is magically turned into something racist by the media and the race-hucksters.
Yes, Obama is a race-huckster.

[GnuHere]

It’s the same insanity that allows TSA agents to focus on Granny while a group of 20-something Arabic looking guys board the plane...wouldn’t want to profile.

[Tzimisce]

Well of course it does: there are white people in the system.

You’ll never get rid of all the racism until you purge all the whites. :)

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
