Want to know what it took to end the racial profiling in a little town near here?
Little town of Beecher, IL., had been famous for harassing black or brown people driving through the town. Everyone knew about it.
All white police force. Big burly guys. One night a guy came driving through and got the standard treatment for the crime of driving while black. It was big business back then. They beat him down and charged him with a bunch of felonies.
Turned out that the black guy they beat up and arrested was a commanding officer with the Illinois State Police and he sued the piss out of this town and had charges filed against some of the arresting officers. He won his case. Just about bankrupted the town as I recall.
I think that was about 20 years ago. They don't profile any more that I am aware of. Haven't heard any recent complaints anyway.
That is how it was done here.

6. So true. Bigots spring up all over this nation. Your supposed freedom and rights are always going to be challenged by some bigot that feels they are superior to whomever, whatever. And the more sophisticated bigots will camouflage their bigotry, but it is still the same. As you say, "civil rights are an illusion."
Anyone who challenges the right of wetbacks to vote democrat is a bigot.
DUmmy Random Thoughts gives a few garbled pointers on how to improve the bouncy:

2. For some reason, I really like that story. Although it would be better if he was not harrased, and it should not take that happening to an officer, some reason, that story is a good one.
Maybe because it is about justice.

3. That's the only way to do it.
Little place called Selma, just north of San Antonio was notorious as a speed trap. Going one mile over the limit would get you a ticket.
Then one night the police chief led the San Antinio cops on a chase before finally being coralled. He was charged with DWI, evading the police and resisting arrest. He was driving the Selma police cruiser at the time.
It's still somewhat of a speed trap but now you really have to be speeding to get stopped.
One mile, I say, one mile over the limit!

7. Years ago the Port Authority cops at Newark Airport took a page..
from the state cops and started profiling cars dropping off people at the airport.
Black guy in out-of state new Cadillac-- perfect, except he looked a little old to be a drug dealer.
But, he wouldn't open the trunk when asked. So, they carted him off to their little jail.
During the questioning, processing, or whatever they were doing down there, they found his ID as a Federal distict judge fom Georgia.
Oops!
The fact he was a judge means he was not a criminal? Alcee Hastings was a judge.
