Holy shit! I'm uncomfortable with this
Conform, include or face government pressure or perhaps worse? I hope I'm as liberal and inclusive as the average guy, but why involve cops.

My fear is this will have the opposite effect as it states it will have.

I was hoping this would be about the TV show.
Edit: now with the thread title change, this could be about anything. Joe Average is uncomfortable about a lot of things.

Black drivers are 3x more likely to get pulled over than white drivers.

Black people are 4x more likely to be arrested for weed than white people, yet the amount of the drug use is the same.

Will this open the door for the policing of any group or club down the road? I think you need to look at bigger picture than that. Is this a slippery slope that will go beyond the "education of cops"'
They shouldn't profile in the first place.

As long as cops in mid-Michigan teargas black and white students the same, I am OK with this.

We're already in the slippery slope stage.
Our next step is full on Europe.

But they do.. Slippery slope? Ask an African American where they fall on that " slope ". But I get it - white folk want to keep their country white.

No no no I'm the communist, remember?
I just can't find a reason to hate something trying to eliminate bias in a field where a) its already proven by stats, facts b) people feel they are getting targeted. Better than a new armored humvee and SWAT gear.

My friend Carl Black told me that the whole driving while Black thing was a myth, that he'd never been pulled over.

You know what else has been proven? Crime rates consistent throughout several jurisdictions that match up virtually 1 for 1 with the national crime victim survey. The bias is strong with who commits far more crimes.
How come Asians and Hispanics aren't ever targeted? What's the motive for targeting blacks, specifically?
I've never gotten an answer to why blacks are allegedly targeted more.

Latinas are pulled over disproportionately too xsan. Both minority groups car's are also searched at a higher rate- even though illegal shit is found at a higher rate in white people's car.
Asian people would probably be more difficult to target as the difference in their appearance from a distance is less obvious. But that's just my guess, not supported by stats as my other points are.

Re: Holy shit! I'm uncomfortable with this
I think we're missing the point. I know there is profiling. It's a fact. However, I really think you guys don't understand what this might lead to. Not this year or next. Cops should be educated on anti-profiling before they become cops. Having committee's like this will lead to the oppression of social groups. I guarantee it.

And yet despite experiencing similar levels in poverty... Hispanics are represented in the crime rates in proportion to their population percentage. Why is it that blacks represent far more of a percentage?
And why are cops pulling over black people more? What is the motive?

I have this friend who is black guys, and he says that if black people would keep their insurance up to date and make sure the maintenance on their cars was done, then they wouldn't have anything to worry about.

I like Gimme Something Good and Let It Ride... The bluesy ones are more fun to play because you have to actually do stuff as opposed to my favorite songs of his which we could teach even tTy to play in 5 minutes.

Why is he driving around without up to date insurance?
If he said it's because "fuck the police, I won't be extorted these bitch ass, hoe ass, trick ass, triflin' ass state agents"... I'm going to have to side with him.

I was thinking "no wonder he's getting pulled over.. he's one guy somehow channeling "black guys".. just drivin' around like a whole carload of them.. hell, I'd pull him over just to watch the Soul Train dance line"..

Haha... I thought Roc was just into BBC cuckolding. No hate.
I was thinking, man... Roc, your wife must be tired and very irritated. It has to be difficult to find several brothas in Wyoming to fulfill such a fantasy.
