I have no idea how many law enforcement agencies there are in existence or how many data bases their are that log everytime we are stopped, interviewed, or call the local PD, but I do know this; Since this idea of political correctness came along our country certainly has changed.

Blacks make up about 17% of our population and 40 to 50% of our prison population. The cops aren't allowed to publically profile who they think a criminal could be unless the picture comes out white. Mexicans fill a large percentage of the prisons but don't say "illegal alien" in public unless you want a dirty look or an unkind reply. The quality of the person filling just about every working position has fallen to standards that would have been unacceptable back in the 50's or early 60's.

What we call teachers today that fill our public schools and are supposed to teach our children is disgusting. Too many of them are 100% in line with the trash standards put out by the NEA and they think it is fine to teach our kids that being a pervert or a homosexual is just another type of sexual standard.

So why do we expect that our law enforcement officers should be high quality people with the abilities that are required to do the job that all older folks remember them having?

I'm not quite sure what is missing in todays people but I have never considered that someone else is responsible for my behavior or my well being. The idea of personal responsibility in todays society seems to be foreign to many, many people. What happened in our childhood certainly has an effect on how we think as adults but I don't think that it is life that wears us down. It's more how we handle the stresses and carry the load that is likely to wear us down.

This idea that all of us should live until we are 95 years old is a foreign one to me. Why should I ask you to pay my medical bills in order for me to live longer. You don't know me and where do I get off expecting you to pay my bills?

So did the cops stay away from our black killer because he changed his name to Mohammed or just because he's black? Or did it have anything to do with harrassing an illegal alien? They seem to have more rights that a citizen over 65. Hmmmmm Why didn't they see him as a threat to themselves and society? Has law enforcement changed so much that an interview with a potential suspect is considered harrassment because the guy is black?

Diversity has been working quite well. We have no idea what the laws are anymore or the reasoning behind them. It could be anywhere from just being impolite to violating another persons rights. There is no way that I would volunteer to carry a firearm and go around arresting criminals because without a doubt some liberal judge would agree with the criminal and I would end up behind bars. I guess we'll just have to make do with the police forces we have today or start changing the laws and education system back to what it was when America was a truly great place to live.

Being an honest, hardworking cop must be a tough job, when you are surrounded by lazy dolts.

During my college years I did an internship with the state government, and what I saw left me perplexed.

There was a lady whose job was to read the newspaper, file her nails, and talk on the phone (personal calls). I never figured out what her job description was, despite working in the same office with her.

I suspect the guy/gal who was supposed to run the query to look for repeated license numbers was like that lady. He never got around to do his job, too busy doing inconsequential or personal business.

"Diversity has been working quite well. We have no idea what the laws are anymore or the reasoning behind them."

Sadly, there are many forces working for total acceptance of the new religion 'diversity' which is taught as the gospel in public schools. My wife is a public high school teacher in California so I know how the propaganda machine works.

To your point of our laws: with hate crimes that make crimes against certain groups punished, with different lenght sentences it sends the message that all are not equal in the eyes of the law. In my city in CA where whites are about 40% of the population, we are not a minority though, and if I read things right no matter what the numbers say whites cannot be victims of hate crimes unless of course you are gay. The label of "racist" and "homophobe" always fit when dealing with whites.

My city has 122 languages spoken by the 210,000 citizens and it is a nightmare for the police. The police use a national phone translator(it is very expensive to use per minute) in dealing with house calls and in the jail so it is very difficult to get facts and arrest guilty people. I live next door to Indian Sikhs and I know they have had police business and needed a friend to translate.

All that said most people I know here are liberal and avidly support the system and view each person of color as a victim of white oppression. Even if a person comes from India and is highly educated and a product of Indian "caste" system that oppresses classes of poor people in India they are seen as victims of white racist. To defense of my liberal friends they believe they are being fair and trying to give the benefit of the doubt.

BUT they would never look at this event in Washington as a failure of the system or racial profiling going awry.
