Bullshit, if you don't think cops don't target and profile certain groups of whites, for example bikers, trailer park folks trash they suspect of brewing meth, Italian-Americans suspected of being involved in organized crime, white supremacists, et cetera. Check FBI - there's tons of categories of white folks that they profile, intimidate, harrass and routinely arrest on the weakest of charges. You must seriously be living under a rock if you think whites are so untouchable. Yes, privatized prisons are a problem but again, that's NOT about race - check this out, the "Kids for Cash" scandal involving a privatized juvenile detention center - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal - those were overwhelmingly WHITE kids getting railroaded and sent there.

If you agree that police profile, intimidate, and harass people with certain kinds of characteristics (white bikers, white people who live in trailer parks, Italian-Americans), why is it such a stretch to acknowledge that police also profile, intimidate and harass people with other kinds of characteristics (black people, Latino people)?
