The Police Department has developed rules for investigating racial profiling complaints against officers to address issues raised by the U.S. Justice Department and LAPD inspector general during a review of previous probes, officials said Friday.

There will be more crime as the police are ordered not to stop people if they are of a certain race.
“Calling all cars, calling all cars. Be on the lookout for somebody...doing....something...”
Sanctuary laws are not enough?
This reminds me of the stanza that began:
First they came for the Jews...
In the end, we will all be prosecuted for offending PC suicide—What Dennis Miller calls Intellectual Terrorism—this is what the LAPD are being subjected to and you can bet the “trainers” are girly men and manly women who have no idea what it means to work the streets in a patrol car in the “hood” on a Saturday (hell—anynight) Night.
My son was suspended for expressing his views about the recent day of silence practised and sponsored by his school in alliance with the Gay Straight Alliance or something of that nature.
Truth be damned—there is no truth only the intellectual terrorism of PC invading every spere of human activity.
Well...it looks like the gangs are going to be around for a while.
Racial Profiling works.
Lets say you see a car full of hooded youths going through a black neighborhood...
I figure they are there on either a suicide wish or to do harm to black people and I think I would be correct in my assumptions.
Also, IMO from what I see here in CA, white people don’t dance that well, Asian drivers here are very scary and I don’t see many blacks on college swimming teams.
If I see a run down car of gang looking youths going through a wealthy neighborhood, I’m going to figure they are lost or looking for trouble. If 98% of the time these observations are right, it is not profiling, it is a description.
I once got pulled over by several cop cars with guns drawn and it ended up there was a robbery and someone with the same kind of car as me did the crime.
It was scary, but did I blame the police for doing their job and checking me out? Nope...
This PC crap hurts everyone. If police are able to figure out that any characteristic makes someone more likely to commit crimes they need to pay more attention to that type of person. If folks who wear blue hats have a tendency to shoplift, cops need to watch them more closely in stores. If people who pray to Allah have a tendency to blow things up, they need to be watched more closely. It isn’t racism, its pragmatism.
Forget common sense; we can't "offend" the "protected class".
