Hi Fred, I will never say that racial profiling is not done, of course it is. However, the vast majority of what is called profiling is behavioral. I know incidents like you describe happen. As much as I might wish they do not happen, I am no idiot and realize that as human beings, that kind of behavior will always be with us in one form or another. Having worked in Corrections and also as a reserve officer in San Jose CA, I have seen quite a bit of both good and bad. Vastly more good but then it always seems that the bad make everyone seem bad. I have also seen the reaction from many when a police officer has to interact with them. It is a wonder that far more are not shot. That is not racial, it is behavioral. As far as Mr. Scott brandishing a gun, so far every officer at the scene that had a view of his hands say he had a gun in it. While carrying a gun in a holster in plain view is one thing, carrying out in the open, in your hand, is quite another. That is brandishing a gun.
