can only be a good thing

but i doubt they were like, oh let's pin this on that one black kid across the street, it's more like, click and drag and put whoever they have info on and place it as the suspect and close the case..

be it goverment support for them to do little to nothing, the feedback loop of incarceration, etc

could be

sometimes things aren't nefarious

sometimes they are

its hard to judge

and either case it's wrong

```In all, four officers interviewed by Scott said the command staff told them to frame people but only De la Torre specifically said they were ordered to target blacks.```

this essentially says it..

well

they could be not telling the whole story to protect themselves from being called racists

i.e. are the other officers all white?

would you want to say you were told to target blacks?

send the shit up, why would you want to carry it..

so yes it *says* it, but it doesn't *essentially* say it 😃

because officers all the time get the heat for "racist" actions

rightly or wrongly

well this would be the perfect time to snitch and get the racist tag off..

but they said it was only that one dude..

some of them are power trippers that shouldn't be near a gun let alone be an officer of the peace

there are those...

always will be..

Police training actually encourages making people like that. saw it happen to 2 people I knew who went to the acadamy

i was watching that but it broke

huh?

to racially profile?

racial profiling is a very grey area...

yep, borked

like, that can't be the only reason..

if you are gonna use it, you only use it to observe if anything else comes out of it

it encourages cops to profile

you can't use racial profiling as the reason for the encounter, that's dumb and judges will toss your encounter as illegal

i.e. this area is generally very high in crime

well for using it as an indicator, that's valid imo..

or gang members wear these cloths to signal they are in the gang

where this is a high crime area and a black gang owns it, then a group of hispanics comes in wearing their gang style of clothing, you would be wary...

for me, i would take a slight deviation away >_>

who's more likely to commit a crime (in this case rob a convenient store), a grandmother wearing a Sunday dress or a 20 something (of any race) with a doo rag and baggy shorts?

or a well off person in a low income neighborhood stopping at a random house is rather suspicious in the middle of the night
