I got pulled over a lot for owning a Camero - Not that I was ever speeding.

Those who seek employment in authority mostly do so because, rather prior victims or witnesses, they fear potential crime and are forever focused on it.

When you're paranoid it's difficult to overcome stereotypes (ie; all sports cars look really fast if even only driving at 15mph or all cars driven by black men are on their way to someplace shady).


There are many types of profiling for sure.

And conversely, the prior experience by too many minorities- tends to make one very suspicious don't you think?



Do you have links to related news reports where minorities in Surprise AZ. have had problems of this type with their law enforcement ?

You are closer- maybe you can find out?
All I saw was this he had been pulled over 10 times in 4 years & given 4 tickets for what he claims was bogus reasons.

The officers should be shown the door of unemployment.

"Despite the seeming exoneration of the test, the suspect was charged with a DUI, an assessment that led Thornton’s attorney to quip that the real crime was, “D-W-B. Driving While Black.”
Thornton told the local ABC News affiliate that he has been pulled over 10 times and issued four tickets since moving from Ohio to the retirement community of Surprise. This latest stop was the first time he’d been taken to the Surprise lockup."

I sometimes have the thought that if white people were being stopped and arrested with the same regularity and under the same feeble pretences as black people,then there would be a major shake up in police training or recruitment procedure.

Oh damn straight!
Nothing was being seriously addressed here in doo-da regarding gangs = ("as long as it's in THEIR neighborhoods" ) mentality, finally had to change once white kids were getting involved.
