At its core were the two key elements despised by liberals, but proven effective by decades of successful arrests and convictions. Profiling and monitoring.
“But that’s unconstitutional!” liberals scream.
But it isn’t.
The development of criminal intelligence using sources and informants has been upheld time and again by the courts. And profiling was never an issue until it applied to Muslims.
Italian cops and agents, working in Italian neighborhoods while cultivating Italian confidential informants were used successfully for decades against La Cosa Nostra. The Mafia. No one cared, least of all the law abiding, hardworking, Italian Americans who wanted the criminal element rooted from their communities.
Yet when the same proven and constitutional methods were applied to Muslims, liberals and Muslims themselves cried foul. But why? Why wouldn’t Muslims want the worst among them rooted out and brought to justice?
That is a question I have been asking since Wednesday, September 12th, 2001, and I still haven’t gotten an answer.
So how does the profiling and monitoring of mosques and Muslim communities work? How does an investigator find a CI?
It is actually a pretty straightforward process. I called on a close friend of mine, a retired NYPD Intelligence Division Detective who worked with the informants to explain how he cultivated and maintained informants.
“Beginning in 2002, we (NYPD Intelligence Division) would look through daily arrest logs for people from Muslim or Middle Eastern countries, then go down to central booking and interview them.
Their offenses were irrelevant to us. All that mattered was where they were from. In fact, one of my best informants who I ran for ten years was initially arrested on a minor domestic violence charge.

Isn’t “If you see something, say something, “ profiling. My God, what is happening to this country?
Embracing Islamists is “who we are” these days.
Liberals are liars. It is all they can do.
Two things we need:
1) When Congress passes a new law — demand they point to the paragraph in the Constitution that allows that action.
2) When someone claims something is “unconstitutional” — demand they point to the paragraph in the Constitution that forbids that action.
Liberals claim all sorts of things are unconstitutional whether they are, or not mainly because most of them haven’t a clue what the constitution is, or is about as they’ve never read it.
To a Liberal the constitution is what they feel it is, or should be in their perspective.
Precisely
I profile people. I was made that way. Anyone with common sense does.
“There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”
— George Orwell
How can libs call profiling racist??? As soon as they learn I’m conservative, they call me racist or a homophobe!
Three Liberal Presidents from Carter to zero and you have a country you do not recognize. If one searched/profiled Muslims back in 1990 there would never have been any WTC events. These Muslims and blacks killing cops has to STOP.
We can’t profile Muslims even though 99.9999999% of terrorists are Muslims. When a black person is murdered, there is a 95% chance that it was by another black, but the police are prohibited from looking for a black. The majority of Mexican-looking people are here illegally, but we can’t look for Mexicans.
It’s stupidity and/or insanity.
Today, profiling. Yesterday, connecting the dots/investigative policing.
Can they point out the text in the Constitution that says profiling is illegal? I didn’t think so.
We had an effective strike force program for years which targeted individuals. Kind of show me the criminal and I will find a crime approach. No one complained because the mafia was not a protected minority.
Bookmarked.
A key difference is that a private citizen is initiating the contact; the cops themselves aren’t “profiling”, a nameless, faceless caller is - so the police can at least defend the initial contact with potential perps.
Here in NJ there was a debate about “racial profiling” that was dishonest from the start; cops weren’t targeting black motorists because they were black, but they were specifically were targeting motorists with southern states’ license plates and no visible luggage (intercepting drugs and guns coming north on I-95). In the process they even stopped a member of the Japanese Red Army from entering the Lincoln Tunnel to NYC with a bomb in his car. When they were castigated for their methods, they quickly “stood down” to appease blacks - and the mayors of the black cities in northeastern NJ reported immediate spikes in drug- & gun-related crimes (which has continued unabated for years since).
Those cities contribute to law enforcement efforts anyway; let them kill each other. Law enforcement in NJ today is basically centered on keeping the worst criminal elements from spilling out of those welfare reservations; they basically function like NYC in “Escape From New York” now.
Very good question.
