Cops Are The Worst

[elliseamos]

So cops should racially profile and expect the worst (be scared) as a starting point of pulling over a black driver. Nothing wrong there...

Correct. In a neighborhood with high rates of crime committed by black people, you should be prepared when pulling over a black person.

I'd never foe'd someone before but I'm a big fan of this feature now.

Needless to say, in a neighborhood with high crime rates by white people, you need to be prepared when pulling them over, also. You'd be stupid or bad at your job to do otherwise.

"Being prepared" does not imply shooting the person without cause, of course. It simply means being prepared.

Disgust is not an argument. It's a feeling that causes confusion, irrationality.

People are done talking to you. Congrats. Your trolling killed the forum for a bit.

That's why I don't quote him directly.

tree_, do you not see the self-fulfilling nature of the following:

1) Cop expects black person to be a criminal.
2) Cop approaches said black person with heightened concern for their own safety (not the black person's safety).
3) Cop's behavior elicits a defensive/distrustful response from said black person.
4) Cop interprets this to mean black person is truly criminal.
5) Cop arrests black person.
6) Black crime rate goes up.
7) Cop expects black person to be a criminal.

Tree, we get that you're feverishly googling as fast as you can to find things to reinforce the viewpoint you clearly came into this conversation with. You don't need to post every hit you find.

What Glenn Loury said is "prepared". Be prepared. If you have the experience of white people committing a huge amount of crime around you everyday, as a cop, you should be prepared when pulling them over. You should also be prepared for them being completely innocent and don't make a stupid mistake.

But it's a perceived and self-fulfilling experience. Did you read the washington post rebuttal I posted in full at your request?

Being a cop is difficult. If done correctly, you are prepared for the worst, but don't misjudge the situation.

Yes. It was compelling. I'm going to re-read it and get more facts.
