I do understand the profiling aspect, as I studied that in my criminal investigations class in college. However, I also feel that there's that fine line between profiling, and racism, that seems to be crossed more often than not.
How could you possibly tell the difference? Unless a cop or such enforcement blatantly referred to their person of interest with a derogatory word, they could profile any race/homosexual/non-christian/etc. the same way...I really don't understand how you could tell the difference.
I'm not quite understanding your question here?
How could I tell the difference between what? Profiling and racism? I'd say, profiling is based on statistics....and racism is someone who has an actual disliking/hatred toward a specific race or sexual preference. I wa speaking more in general terms, not just LEO specific. I guess it would be hard to tell when it came from a LEO trying to do their job, but it's not so hard to tell the difference when you read some of the things said freely by people on a forum. That's just my assessment.
I was speaking specifically about law enforcement and such. I thought y'all were as well since you said it was studied in your Criminal Justice classes.
Oh okay I see where you were coming from now
