that may have happened; but he's always held back. don't nitpick the word, BRick. what i mean is that he's being racially profiled. i thought that point was rather obvious...

i don't know why this is lost on you guys...oh well.

What's being lost?

I'm pretty sure if argumentative pricks who graduated from Purdue and now live in New York had committed multiple acts of terror on airplanes, BRick would be the first guy to tell you he would accept heightened security and temporary detention before he flew. I'm not sure if I agree with that or not. I just don't think it's quite as evil as you seem to be suggesting.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Since the majority of the inmates in the penal system are black, its reasonable for police to pull them over in order to make sure there isn't a crime in progress. When questioned about it, the police can say they're just in a heightened state of security.

Certain racism is cool.

Now I understand.

I just want to know when I'm allowed to discriminate so I don't miss out on the fun.

What did they say and how did they treat you?

I rarely troll.

They looked at me, and said "Ok you're not Muslim or Arab, so we'll let you go.".

I rarely troll.

Its pretty standard for cops to stop and check out stranded motorists. Especially in the suburbs where they have a little less to do than city cops.


Im not denying or saying anything about what happened to SPmack but at face value cops stopping isnt rare or limited to them being suspicious.


Jason Whitlock seems like a racist asshole. He definitely uses race to get attention any chance he gets.

NYPD Stop-And-Frisks Increased 14 Percent In 2011; 87 Percent Of Those Stopped Black Or Hispanic


The NYPD has broken their record for stop-and-frisks in a single year...again. New York's finest stopped an interrogated people 684,330 times in 2011, according to The Wall Street Journal, a 14 percent increase over 2010.

And who was it that got stop-and-frisked the most? 92 percent of those stopped were males, and 87 percent of those stopped were black or Hispanic, a glaring disparity considering blacks and Hispanics make up only 59 percent of the city's population.

Just 12 percent of those stopped were arrested.

"Last year alone, the NYPD stopped enough totally innocent New Yorkers to fill Madison Square Garden more than 30 times over," NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman said in a statement. "It is not a crime to walk down the street in New York City, yet every day innocent black and brown New Yorkers are turned into suspects for doing just that. It is a stunning abuse of power that undermines trust between police and the community."

The NYCLU isn't alone in their anger. Councilman Jumaane Williams (who experienced a little NYPD friskiness first-hand), Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Professor Cornel West have all expressed criticisms-- with Williams and Stringer even calling on the federal government to investigate.

The program has also proved a legal liability to the embattled police department (which is still enjoying high approval ratings). This summer a federal judge gave the green light to a lawsuit against the NYPD, accusing cops of discriminating against blacks and Hispanics. And, as The Village Voice notes, "In the month of January alone, more than three dozen lawsuits alleging improper stop-and-frisks were filed, based on a Voice reading of the complaints. Extrapolated, that means that the city could be sued more than 400 times this year alone just on improper stops."

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne echoed Mayor Bloomberg's and Ray Kelly's defense of the program. From The Journal:

"Stops save lives,"Mr. Browne said. He estimated that over the past 10 years, there were 5,628 fewer homicides than in the decade before Mr. Bloomberg took office.

"That is a remarkable achievement--5,628 lives saved--attributable to proactive policing strategies that included stops," Mr. Browne said.

Homicides were down 4% in 2011 and remained under 600 for the 10th straight year. Overall, major crime, which includes violent offenses and serious theft, ticked up by less than 1%.

Mr. Browne said 8,263 weapons, including 819 guns, were recovered as a result of stops.

According to the NYCLU, stop-and frisks have increased 600 percent since Mayor Bloomberg took office in 2002.

Awesome.

JORR confuses me sometimes. On one hand, he seems in tune with the plight of American minorities. But on the other hand, he wasn't willing to admit that American poverty is comparable to that of places abroad.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Because it isn't?

Jorr and his white guilt believes he should be given a pass. He has set the bar so low that he doesn't believe that blacks should be expected to act like decent human beings. I know he believes he's defending blacks but it's really insulting.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

blacks are better basketball players than whites :fact
saying that is not racist it is factual...did blacks have it real bad in this country in the past? yes..but i think the playing field has been leveled..the current black man does not have it any harder than the current white man imo

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.
