This a doubledged sword. Though we almost universally "know" that "profiling" has a unsavory flavor to it that runs counter to individual liberties, I also live in the real world, which tells me that police have to recognize suspect situations and individuals.
I see folks above trying to spin this US Rep as some sort of loser decrying his lot in life. Perhaps one of you would care to lay your credentials out and compare with his? I know nothing of the man, but I'm guessing that he's logged a success or two in his life.

I'm not sure what you mean but I do have first-hand knowledge because half of my family is black, my wife's half.
My wife has pretty much written them off because outside her immediate family dealing with her people is too difficult. They are mostly closed minded, stereotypical, and dishonest.
Just ask Oprah what she thinks. She refused to build her school here in the US because the inner-city youth expected too much and aren't at all interested in an education. But even in Africa she ended up having serious problems with them as well.
