"Average of twice a month"! You really believe that? The cops don't have the time to pull over their ex-wives boyfriends that often.

Well . . . that settles it then. No further evidence is required. We can tar any group with any sin we want - no matter how inflammatory the accusation - as long as Henry stands by the statement.
The CPD gets a complaint of "profiling" roughly once a year. It has been years since any has been found to be substantiated.
Believe what you want. I'll believe my friends of color. One coached at OSU, lived in North Albany, and said he was stopped for no reason on the average of twice a month while driving home late at night. To deny systemic racism in the US is to deny an obvious truth. "Systemic' is used incorrectly, and rather dangerously, at the moment. It is basically a medical term, referring to a system as a whole and not just a part of it. A condition, then, could be deemed to be localized or systemic. So systemic racism means the entirety of any area in which you wish to say it exists, and that is simply incorrect. In the case of law enforcement, the current main focus of such assertions, it would mean that the entirety, from coast to coast, is racist from top to bottom - not just the Minneapolis Police Department, but those in St. Paul, Duluth, International Falls, Rochester, Albert Lea, Hibbing ... In Oregon, we can't limit ourselves to Portland and Corvallis; racism runs rampant in the police departments of Klamath Falls, Bend, Prineville, Baker City, Burns Junction, Ontario, Zumwalt ... If 20% of all law enforcement officers in the nation were indeed racists, as racist is currently defined, there would remain 640,000 who were not. We egregiously insult the 640,000 when we refer to systemic racism in the field of policing. And do we not (gasp!) profile them? "Systemic racism" is not only not an obvious truth, it isn't even a truth.

If the bet is between you and me, no, I'm not; if it's between you and somebody else, the answer is a function of whose paying me the most to answer in a given way. You wouldn't be 'profiling' me, would you, Glove?

To deny systemic racism in the US is to deny an obvious truth. How many of us teenagers got pulled over for no apparent reason when we were out after curfew, or just plain late, I did probably a dozen times. No lights out, no expired license, just getting home from a date late, or early morning. My grandson, who is there now, has been pulled over to check his license 2 or 3 times that I know of, he was working and getting home late. May not fit your agenda, but it also doesn't prove anything to say someone was stopped late at night. It doesn't confirm or deny your police racism charges, just a fact that people get pulled over late at night, especially young men..
