It's also worth noting that firearms offenses in New York City have risen dramatically in the last couple of years, since the NYPD shut down the Street Crimes Unit and the New Jersey State Police stopped making random stops on the New Jersey Turnpike.

An excerpt from Civil War II: The Coming Breakup of America by Thomas W. Chittum
Item 9: Watch for further replacement of individual rights for group rights, group rights based on ethnic group. Empires employ this method to enlist certain favored groups in suppressing the others, and racist affirmative action is a classic example of this replacement of our rights as individuals by a race based system of penalties and special privileges. Then the powers that be have only to pay off the leaders of these favored groups, a relatively easy task. Every time you hear the racist euphemism affirmative action, think Civil War II.
The end of America and western civilization
All the world waits to see if America will become a multiethnic, democratic nation with a nonracial social contract, or if it will devolve into an ethnically and socially tiered third-world empire, and shatter exactly as all other multiethnic, undemocratic empires have throughout world history. When America erupts in flames, all the world will rightly conclude that libertys torch set her ablaze, and that democracy and a multiethnic society are mutually exclusive.
Western Civilization will be transformed; tribalism will blossom into its ultimate expression. Nations will unite into super blocks of Europeans against Africans, Christians against Moslems, East against West, and rich against poor until some hideous climax predator claws its way to the top of the smoking global bone heap. And what excuse will we Americans have? That our fathers didnt leave us a Bill of Rights to light our way? That no one cautioned us that a house divided against itself cannot stand? That no one told us that we should judge one another by character rather than color?
Like all men of goodwill, I ask nothing more than to live peacefully in my own country where I enjoy the equal protection of the law without corruption of blood, exactly as set down in our Constitution. Regrettably, this simple and just concept is dead, and so is America.

Well, as much as I hate to rain on this parade, would Det. Kevan's actions meet the common definition of 'profiling'? I don't think so. Because, from the sound of it, he knew the author and his buddies well enough to have reasonable suspicion of their bad intentions.

The author admits it wasn't 'profiling', here:
"It never occurred to us to sue the Long Beach Police Department for abuse of authority and profiling.
Maybe that was because when Kevan & Co. jumped out of their cars, we were just about to commit a felony or three, breaking into cars in that parking lot. Maybe because we hadn't been taught to scream bloody murder, when we got caught doing wrong. Maybe because we were white."

Could be. But, if he was (as you said) admitting it wasn't profiling, why does he title the piece, "How Profiling Saved My Life"?
I think the author's point in the sentence you quoted was not to say that the policeman was not profiling; his points were that the policeman's actions were justified, and (as an aside) the boys were white.

I think the author is being cynical about "profiling"..

Profile: Any group of boys standing on the corner at night is obviously trouble waiting to happen. To come to such a conclusion with only the evidence of being a group of boys on the corner would be profiling. Get it?

Such numbers games would never succeed, if white folks in high places werent such cowards, and simply called every racist, black hustlers bluff. Are they cowards, or are they shrewdly using blacks as their instruments to keep everybody else down?

America used to be a melting pot. Now, it's a stew, consisting of religious and multicultural parts that refuse to blend. Newcomers want to recreate their ex-home rather than learn the language and blend with the rest of the locals.
Seeds of destruction!

I don't see where the author says the cop knew the group of boys.

Now that you mention it, ari, I'm sure your observation holds true in a great many cases.

Excuse me, but there's no admission there. The fact that the cops were right, doesn't mean they weren't profiling, only that -- as the author argues -- profiling is a solid method.
