I think its stupid to not pull a car over on the NJ TPK if (hypothetically) 95% of the drug trafficers are black males driving certain cars from certain states....I think that's good police work. Just like I think its not wise to NOT pull Arab men out of the line at the AIrport when they fit the profile for the terrorists! Of course I'm generalizing here...but I hope you see my point.
If I have to suffer some inconvenience in the interest of justice...so be it. If you're not carrying drugs on the turnpike or weapons on the plane...why be concerned?
I know there are corrupt cops...but I sincerely feel they are in the minority.

In all fairness, this was posted under the "Al Gore Endorsement Speech" thread...so, it had no "direct" ties to this thread. I was going to respond to it, but I decided not to...for the sake of preventing too intense of a discussion! But I think that the death of our Fraternity brother and friend (not to mention someone's son, husband and father), kinda brings home an answer to the question as to WHY WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED.
