   So if the victim identifies the assailant as being African American, the   
   police should stop every African American person they encounter?   
      
   If the victim can't provide anything about the assailant, why would the   
   police stop only African Americans?

   Are you really saying that every Hispanic person in Arizona is an illegal   
   alien unless he or she can prove otherwise?

   If the cops stopped me because a red-headed 5'6" woman just robbed a bank,   
   and asked me where I was a 1:25 PM, I'd be pissed unless they could show me   
   something that led them to believe that I was that particular person.  The   
   police are not the KGP, no matter how much you wish they were.

   They have every reason to bitch, your bigotry notwithstanding.  When I see   
   self-proclaimed progressives like you advocating extremist rightwing   
   tactics and procedures, I fear for the country.  You and those like you are   
   much more of a danger to the United States than any illegal immigrant.
