Obama Files Federal Charges Against Zimmerman

[Esther]

Investigator: Officer why didn't you observe that man wearing a trench coat in the summer coming in to rob a bank. Didn't you think that was out of character?

Officer: I would be accused of profiling if I made any assumptions, so I had to wait and see if he was carrying a gun under that coat. If I knew I would not have been sued for profiling I could have stopped him shooting that teller.

That is an example of how ridiculous so called "profiling" has become.

If a dog bites you it would be wise in my opinion to go looking for a dog and not another kind of animal.

Tell their kids not to sucker punch others because he might be armed with a gun...

Perhaps TM was trying to play the "knockout game"...

That isnt profiling. Profiling is pulling over someone just because of the color of their skin.

MSM is saying that GZ either profiled by skin color and/or his hoodie. So, it appears it can go both ways, at least, to them anyway.

I realize that. But like I said, what crime is it for a non law enforcement officer to do that? It isnt. He was a concerned citizen, some who are against him say a wannabe cop, who confronted a stranger in his neighborhood. He did nothing wrong as per the evidence presented. Its sad that someone with a lot of life left had to lose there life. Especially when it could have been avoided by Trayvon. Just tell the person confronting you what you were doing in the area and be about your business. Instead, he was on the wrong end of a self defense situation.

The Obama administration will if they can twist the situation to put Zimmerman in prison, Chicago gangster Eric Holder is the craziest AG in history. When the wicked rule the people groan, America is groaning!!

Your castigation of Fox is strange, when the majority of cable networks totally fit your description.

Trayvon couldn't have been capable of the "knockout game" because he was a child!!!

Dispatch: Okay, he's just walking around the area?

Zimmerman: ...looking at all the houses.

More than color, he profiled how he was dressed and how he was acting. I think they both go together. And really, it is a sensible assessment.

In my neighborhood, we are having problems with white men stealing. I suppose I'm 'profiling' every time I see a white man in this town walking around and I watch him to see what he's up to.

There is a white girl with her young daughter going around town conning people and stealing. I suppose I'm 'profiling' every time I see a young woman with a little girl walking in parking lots (she's known to do this to get rides and steals from the people she gets rides from).

Oddly enough, when I see an elderly person standing on the street corner, I am not concerned, unless I think they are unsafe in being there. I don't suspect they are up to no good just because they are standing on the sidewalk alone.

Since there aren't many black people in this town, I'm also not concerned about them. Crimes aren't being reported to be committed by them. It's always young white men.

I'm not exactly sure what 'profiling' really is, but I wonder, how many other people were walking in the rain that night? If there were other people around, why did George single out that young man? If there were no other people around, why do people say he was profiling?

And why are people saying he should have stayed in the car? I haven't heard about him being in the car just before the shooting. It's my understanding he was following him on foot and the dispatch told him not to continue following him, even though initially they wanted him to.

Anyway, I will continue 'profiling' all white young men in my 'hood to keep it safe to live in.

Sasha, I think that we "profile" every day. After all, the Bible says "You shall know them by their fruits."

There are times that profiling can be beneficial, i.e. in race, sex or disease. It's a fact that the Pima Indians in Arizona have a high case of diabetes. If a doctor knows the person's ethnicity, he/she can order a glucose test to screen for that.

It's ridiculous the level Political Correctness has taken this country.

You are right to assess any strange "white" person in your neighborhood as a possible danger. You certainly aren't looking for a Oompa Loompa. And if it was statistically shown that the majority of the robberies in your area were done by Oompa Loompas, you would be looking out for one of them.

I am sick and tired of the ignorance pushed on us that if you mention the word "blacK", you are a racist. I don't know what else anyone wants. It's tiring.

The Civil Rights Movement was supposed to be equal treatment under the law, not special treatment under the law. The black political culture embraced an agenda that was totally opposite to what the civil rights movement was about... big government liberalism at the helm. Not a win for the black community, but they haven't caught on to that yet.

I would wonder, with the Democratic Unionized failure of our American school system, why they stay in that boat. And why don't they see that the Democrats, who are proportionally largely supportive of abortion, don't see that their communities are under an umbrella of population control, masked as a woman's choice. It's beyond me.

BTW, have you seen the movie, "Won't Back Down"? - Two determined mothers with children who are failing in an inner city school in Pittsburgh join forces to take back the school, and turn it into a place of learning. Based on a true story. Great movie!
