Here we go again: another specious racial-profiling controversy. Al Sharpton has announced his intention to sue the New York Police Department for allegedly racially profiling black New Yorkers, based on recently released data on police stop-and-frisks. In fact, the data show that police are stopping blacks too seldom and whites too often.

Sharpton is an idiot... we don't even have to say anything more about him, LOL.
The more closely you look at the crime statistics, the more you realize that these allegations of racial profiling are absolutely bogus.

Too bad he's wasted his entire life teaching blacks they are victims and losers.
Hmmmm..... Does the fact that most of the "terrorists" being killed are Muslims -- mean we're anti Muslim or discriminating against Muslim, or simply killing those that need killin?
