We all profile. It is how we save our bacon every day in a thousand ways. We use assessments and reasoning and we know when to walk and when to run and when to avoid a situation. It is Darwin's survival of the fitness and the smartest. There are many forms of humans recognizing danger. Not every human has all the perceptions of smelling a rat. I think gender figures into it too. These days we are deemed politically incorrect for even bringing up gender or innate ability. But mankind has used these ways of protecting themselves and protecting their family and protecting their homes to the betterment of civilization. Now we are directed to ignore reasonable assessments of danger.

I am sure you are not saying that having a "record" allows your being shot in the back for
anything except of corse to save another life.
That was my understanding of the post to which I responded with well said (post you respond to)
Other reason for my "well said" was the caution that we do not know the entire story yet we have "opinions" which appear to be based on skin color, which I find offensive. No threads are begun without that ingredient.
