LOL!!!
Right wing pea brains...defending Union Reps and government agents...
When it comes to punishment, arresting and killing human beings, the government can do no wrong in the tiny little pea of a right wing statist...
The President:
"Now, I donÂ’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that, but I think itÂ’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge Police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there is a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. ThatÂ’s just a fact.
As you know, Lynn, when I was in the state legislature in Illinois, we worked on a racial profiling bill because there was indisputable evidence that blacks and Hispanics were being stopped disproportionately. And that is a sign, an example of how, you know, race remains a factor in this society. That doesnÂ’t lessen the incredible progress that has been made. I am standing here as testimony to the progress thatÂ’s been made.
And yet the fact of the matter is, is that this still haunts us. And even when there are honest misunderstandings, the fact that blacks and Hispanics are picked up more frequently and oftentime for no cause casts suspicion even when there is good cause. And thatÂ’s why I think the more that weÂ’re working with local law enforcement to improve policing techniques so that weÂ’re eliminating potential bias, the safer everybody is going to be."
You're right Mr. President...it's time to end profiling...
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
