ABOUT PROFILING
In that paragon of children's educational TV programs, Sesame Street, they play a game: "One of these things is not like the other." We are taught at a young age the value of rapid evaluation of situations
Transferred to police work this means being alert to something that is inappropriate or out of place. Discernment in this skill can make the difference between life and death.
One classic example of police profiling was when you see four teen-age boys driving around at 2:00AM in a $75,000 car, they might be worthy of a traffic stop and further inquiry.
When a "look out' is broadcast for a White Chevrolet sedan, you don't even glance twice at Black Cadillacs. That's profiling.
Profiling is an effective method of narrowing the search field when looking for a person, place or thing.
The public has been hoodwinked by the specter of "racial profiling," with the canard that it is always wrong to include race as an element of narrowing the search criteria. There are times when race is a valid element of the search. But to include it runs the risk of being painted as a racist.

And even after the attempted lecture on broad statements, you use the word...ALWAYS.
Your attempts at obfuscation and misdirection are eviscerated...by an example that has happened right here on TOTV.
That being the time when a claimed LEO member here, posted in the politics forum (thinking their user name was hidden...it wasn't) referring to black children as
*iglets.
In spite of your attempted misdirection otherwise, everyone knows that if a 'look out' is broadcast for 3 black teenagers thought to have committed a crime, looking for only black teenagers...is NOT profiling.
What you've tried...is called a
'red herring.'
Profiling,
for no other reason than skin color...IS a reality.

Chris Rock, Isaiah Washington, and Racial Profiling: Why Black People Shouldn’t Have to ‘Adapt’
Quote:
The tensions that have existed for generations between police and the black community are very real and born of fear and mistrust. The police have long operated as occupying forces in hostile territory—from the ways in which cops interact with black citizens to the rates of cops killing blacks compared to whites.
That anxiety that stars like Rock and Foxx and countless others feel is shared by the average black person on the street—the average black person who doesn’t have hit movies or TV shows.
That these stars are affected by it shouldn’t give validation to the protests of black folks; it should only amplify them.

The more people try to deny, or excuse, its existence...means that it will just continue. 
"But since I'm a white male, why should I even worry about it...right?"
BECAUSE, I'm dumb enough to still believe that justice should be blind...including due to color/race/ethnicity/religion/etc.
