[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there are particularly high crime neighborhoods, it makes sense to target them for stop and frisk. If they happen to be majority black or Latino... is this racial profiling? Or simply the fact that there is higher probability of stopping someone who represents the majority of the inhabitants?[/quote]

The greater problem with Mike Bloomberg is that in the 2 videos on this thread(and in the news), he makes it pretty clear that it was  actually racial profiling. And these videos are from 5 years ago.

Stopping people from groups that statistically commit more crimes might be called profiling, or... data driven approach.
Black and Latino leaders should work with their communities on reducing crime, instead of investing all their energy into fighting “racial profiling”.

Quite possibly the dumbest post on this thread. People don’t commit crimes because they are black or Latino. They commit them because they are poor or have no hope or good family structures and love. It just happens to be that in many big cities that social demographic happens to be blacks and Latinos. Profiling just perpetuates the cycle. Profiling is also about quotas and stats and not actually “protecting and serving”. [/quote]
