That wasn't the wake up call. I expected something to go wrong in Mississippi. We all know about emmit til. and also about how the Mississippi government plotted against black people. I was on high alert in Mississippi the whole time.

Nothing like good ole state-sponsored terrorism to get the juices going

I'm not arguing that I think he was wrong. It may be racial profiling but I would have to take a look at the stats. It wasn't like I wasn't going over the odds on me being pulled over having visited Mississippi for as long as I did. I've spent may be 3 days in Mississppi all together in my life time. coincidently. What are the chances of this happening? pretty low.

I'd have to look at the stats though. I give minority cops a little more walking room as we don't often see them beating women on the streets or killing men for untaxed cigarettes. not to say all other cops are like that but you don't see them doing it. it also doesn't mean that he wasn't doing it.

I just don't want to blame a guy without proof.

I hear you and I agree but I always keep in mind that black cops are just as likely to racially profile. They often think they're blue and not black.... until something happens.

There are more incidents like the last link I posted, where black cops allege racism/discrimination within their departments

As a cop, they're expected to target minorities because you have politicians instituting stop and frisk policies

But once in a while they get reminded of who.they.are

:p

It would be funny if this shit weren't so damn true
 
How do cops handle their hiring practices? Is it a referral system the way the building trades often is, or is it strictly civil service examination and academy results? In all my years in the public sector, I've never had a good handle on how they operate.
