The following is a harsh reality; if local police forces have determined a certain demographic to be problematic, it makes sense to more closely monitor those folks and those streets.

The police have less of a presence in areas with low crime.

Behave.

Do you apply this same thinking to Muslims and terrorism?

We aren't talking about presence. We are talking about actions.

Clearly, I have. If I see someone of Arabic descent acting suspiciously, I'm much more likely to think something is up than if you were acting suspiciously.

But I'm not going to pass an Arab on the street and give him problems. Just like the cops wouldn't pass Camps on the street and give him problems. Unless they thought he was giving them a reason to investigate.

They believe the fact that he's a black male gives them reason to investigate.

That is what happens though. "Stop and Frisk" basically meant "Stop black people".

I've spoken at length about the topic in a few of my threads focused on Islam and the Middle East. I thought maybe you had read the posts and recalled info.

Especially in my youth. I was a douche.

Once they look closer and see that he is drinking a Redd's Apple Ale or an Angry Orchard, they lose all interest and deem him as a non-threat.

Open container of alcohol is the excuse to justify the stop and search.

It's incredible how naive you are dude.

You're the guy that thinks the world would operate better with no forms of government. I don't think you get to call others naïve.

I've never once said that. Based on your comments here I do get to call you naive.
