That is what cops do, pick up the pieces, fill the body bags and file reports after the fact.

Answer 2

What universe do you live in where racial profiling isn't enthusiastically practiced?

Answer 3

What exactly are you saying? if you're suggesting that the police should arrest people who they think look as if they might be going to commit a violent crime, based on their perceived race, then certainly not.

Answer 4

Could you restate this in English?

Answer 5

Nothing can stop violent crimes completely. But cops can (and do) prevent crimes and reduce crimes. They can patrol trouble areas as a deterent. They can inform public of scams. They can get repeat offenders off the streets. They can work with other community organizations to identify and address the causes of crime. And none of those things require racial profiling.
