Stops must happen, frisks must happen. And if one person has lets say 0.0001% chance of fitting the bill and another 0.0002% chance than obviously they have to stop the second one. Sorry that all other things being equal (eg both looking same sketchy or same average or same decent) it has to be the black guy. you simply can not choose smaller chances over bigger chances. And there is nothing wrong with that at all.

I just prefer to wait until someone actually commits a crime or is clearly in the act of committing a crime before shaking them down.
I don't want to be pulled over and have myself and my car searched because I happen to have long hair and some profile might say that guys with long hair are more likely to have drugs on them than guys with short hair.
There is a difference between profiling and actually clearly seeing that someone is up to no good.
If a guy is walking down the street and he is going into people's yards and looking in windows that could look suspicious and it might be reasonable for the police to stop and talk to this guy. If a guy is walking down the sidewalk listening to some music and not bothering anyone he shouldn't be stopped no matter what race, creed, color or hue he might be.
