[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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”.
[/quote]

A "data driven" approach that resulted in about 90% of innocent black and latino young men being stopped and frisked.

Why don't you and Bloomberg introduce a "data driven" approach for searching white boys before they enter school campuses because they are more likely to commit mass shootings?

They weren’t jailed or abused were they?
And yes I support profiling of white boys too.
I am a mom of one.

So why has it not happened? Bloomberg has been crying "gun control" . Why didn't he propose his "winning" strategy of stopping and frisking white kids  to deal with mass shootings at schools?

And yes, some young black men were frisked and then arrested for marijuana possession. Mind you, white men with similar profiles would therefore have much less marijuana arrests because they were not randomly stopped and frisked. [/quote]

1) I don’t know but I would support any safety measures at schools, be it metal detectors or “profiled” stop and frisk.
It is our kids’ safety. 
2) don’t carry marijuana if it’s illegal. Doesn’t matter if you’re black or white. [/quote]

1. What you and Bloomberg would or would not support in your head is very different from the racist impact of Bloomberg's actual policies. That was my point. You get to keep your fantasy moral high ground while supporting a racist policy. Good for you. It must feel good to have that kind of privilege when you have white kids.

2. If you cannot even acknowlegde that it is problematic that many young men, white and minorities possessed marijuana while Stop and Frisk policies made it much more likely that black men were arrested for possession, you are just as devoid of empathy and a sense of fairness as Bloomberg is. Good on you for finding your perfect candidate![/quote]
