With due respects to the veteran detective, anyone who lives in urban America—Chicago in my case—knows this. As we are disarmed here, the only way to protect ourselves is by avoiding areas where young urban blacks are likely to be. I would as soon go to Iraq as to the south or west sides of Chicago. And yes, they do sometimes infiltrate those parts of the city where the law-abiding, productive, decent, taxpaying citizens live and/or work. But they are highly visible in such areas, watched, and yes, horror of horrors, “profiled.” Why would they not be?
