My overriding concern is that police officers don't get caught up in the public's "sentiment" by employing a lower standard of evidence for certain groups than they would for others due to the actions of few from said group. NotUrTypicalAmerican

===============================================

And I'll give you that one, you know it happens. Valid concerns for all. Have a good one.

Crime is getting bad here in Fayetteville but its usually in certain neighborhoods and late at night. What we needs is to get rid of Moose Butler he has been in office too long and not tackling a situation thats out of control. Next is to get support groups like the NAACP to push anti crime and drugs and to better your life through personal responsibility and hard work and not tie the hands of law enforcement. Last, instead of EBT cards hand out more library cards.

The subject discussion was who is perceived committing the crimes, sorry to summarize an entire group but the statement is fairly in line with public sentiment. You don't like it and doesn't make it right, and I get that. - Bartmeister

Point granted. My overriding concern is that police officers don't get caught up in the public's "sentiment" by employing a lower standard of evidence for certain groups than they would for others due to the actions of few from said group.

Hope they get all involved and the sentence is just. These crimminal who would do this to an elderly person would certainly not stop at harming others.

Regardless of the numbers and the perception it may give, that's all it is, a perception. One that still encompasses entire class of people unfairly. It promotes the internal segregation of suspects within the minds of police officers. Discriminatory practices utilized prior to the introduction of any proof is the very definition of racial profiling/prejudice. NotUrTypicalAmerican

=========================================

Agreed, and that supports the statement that offended you. It's ALL perception, right, wrong or otherwise. That however doesn't permit illegal profiling or discrimination on your rights. Not saying it doesn't happen, I'm a realist. The subject discussion was who is perceived committing the crimes, sorry to summarize an entire group but the statement is fairly in line with public sentiment. You don't like it and doesn't make it right, and I get that.

You have to admit the numbers support the statement and perception. And the two in custody should and will have their due time in the court process.- Bartmeister

Look at the picture. Nuff said about profiling y'all. The truth and facts are in front of you.- Uhavenoclu

So, you're saying that police should have carte blanche in harassing and stopping me because I share a skin color with these two murderers? NotUrTypicalAmerican

=====================================================

I have to agree with Uhavenoclu. All too often and typical.

@NotUr - No they don't and shouldn't have carte blanche in harassment and illegal stops, not whats being discussed. You have to admit the numbers support the statement and perception. And the two in custody should and will have their due time in the court process.
