This one was a surprise, but then again so was the 2000 Presidential Election, so what the hell do I know?
U.S. Justice Department Bans Federal Agents from Racial Profiling
That's right, the top brass at the DOJ, the Department of Justice (not "Donut of Jelly," the scientific term for a jelly donut), decided that arresting suspects solely on the basis of the race is a big no-no and ordered all 70 of their agencies and their agents to follow suit.
Obviously, it's a shock during these times of fear of terrorism abroad, but maybe this is a sign that those fears are finally being quelled, like when the roller coaster is finally over. You've just spent the whole time having to deal with those unexpected hairpin turns or twists, and when you go through the loop, you know it's coming but you don't deal with it as well as you thought you would. So then you throw up on the mother of two who had to sit next to you because her bratty kids wanted to ride in the same car together. Then, "Mama Bin Laden" beats you in the head with her purse and douses pepper spray in your eyes. And before you know it, you're conveining with the United Nations to send weapons inspectors into Astroworld after you learn they've been harboring other violent mothers.
Still, I've always believed racial profiling is a sloppy, lazy way of investigating potential crimes whether it's a potential terrorist attack or jaywalking. Racial profiling has rarely or never stopped crimes from happening. And besides, with all these agencies announcing that they're racially profiling potential suspects, what's to stop a terrorist organization from hiring a person to blow up a plane who agents wouldn't suspect based on race? Say a 60-year old white woman: "Oh, my...thank you for helping me into my seat, you're such a nice young man. Too bad he has to die. Yippiekiyay, m***** f*****!"
