[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 733395, member: 9859"] You and Police Chief Joe Arpaio do not speak for many, if not most of Az police officials, who are also against this racist Bill/Law, amended or not. They don't like it anymore than people in the rest of the country. In fact, the first lawsuit filed against it was filed by a police officer. It doesn't matter that it stated 3 different times that race can't be a factor . . . the ONLY way that a police officer, who may be sued if he/she doesn't follow this law well enough, can determine "reasonable suspicion" that someone is an "illegal" (illegal meaning Hispanic) is by looking at the color of their skin and their surname. Reasonable suspicion means that there is evidence that A) a person has committed a crime (is at the scene of a crime) or B) that a person is contemplating committing a crime (is at the door of a closed establishment at 2 a.m.). Please tell me, Lifer (Donkey Hater), what could constitute "reasonable suspicion" that a person is an "illegal"? I guarantee that a blue-eyed blonde wouldn't be asked for his/her papers. Keep repeating your stupid labels and proving to all that profiling exists starting with you..... "political profiling" that is, seems to tickle your fancy. Just makes you look uninformed and a damm sore loser for the performance of your GOP surrogates of 2000 thru 2008..... Yes, you have the right to vote in Az, but you don't have the right to make up your own facts...... And the fact is even with immigration and the Az's crime rate has been in a decline for the last decade..... [/QUOTE]
