Quote From: starkitty7I appreciate your post, and I appreciate all the police officers and their families. With this being said, it is true that most police officers are not racist, but many are. Racial profiling happens. Is racial profiling an excuse for the high number of blacks in jail? No, and I don't believe this is what Dr. Phil was saying ( I hope not ) . I think I would consider myself a "liberal" and I take offense to your stereotype of us! Just because I am a liberal doesn't mean that I think racsim is to blame for all of our social woes in this country. It is a real problem, but is just one part of the social problems. Thank you!
Question: Isn't it 'profiling' what you just did by stereotyping liberals? I consider myself a liberal and I find I agree with you in some aspects. My husband is not a police officer but he does fight "criminals" in his own way. My husband is a Marine, also willing to fight for those who bash on him, demoralise his job, and so on. I trluly appreciate what your husband does and what all other officers do....however, I believe it is also profiling to assume NO cop EVER racially profiles people. Oh, BTW, please tell me if you answer yes
Are you willing to work in the fields, rain or shine?
Are you willing to pick fruit and pack it everyday for hardly any pay?
Are you willing to cut anybodys grass for some cash?
Are you willing to do all the dirty work MOST mexicans , or Illigals do?
I am mexican american, and even so, I agree there should be more control in our borders...mexicans or not. However, unless you are willing to do all the above, dont bash on them please because unlike bums, most try very hard to work and provide and be good citizens. After the Pearl Harbor attack, how is it the government was able to round up AMERICAN japanese and keep them in our own version of "work camps.?" Believe me, if the government wanted them gone, theyd Be rounded up and gone.
