But if they comitt more crimes they SHOULD be pulled over and searched more.
If a little girl is raped....are the police wrong to first look at men as they try to find the rapist? Its sometimes a female, should the police devote equal time and reseources to exploring men and women both as suspects?when they do arrest a man should he say he was "unfairly profiled" . Would you defend him
There has got to be a better way to effectively police than just pulling over people of a certain race because you are more likely to hit the lottery that way.
Obviously in some instances it is obvious (airport security) but a lot of times people are getting pulled over, gotta sit outside on a 100 degree day while the cops take 15 mins to go through your car, you've got to be somewhere, it's just extremely dehumanizing and if it happened to any of you consistently I really don't think you would like it. Whether it is bad incentives provided to the police or something, it seems worth fixing.
If you're pulling over blacks 60% more than whites and finding contraband 20% less of the time, that's a systemic failure to me. It can be improved upon and that
should trickle down to race relations and the police (the "should" may be wishful thinking at this point since the media and some charlatans have really gotten ahold of this issue unfortunately)
