Racial profiling a gathering Thursday night at Pima College west addressed the issue. FOX11 News Also has some numbers that may surprise you about how many more minorities end up in the Pima County Jail than are represented in the overall population.

While living in your state for only 6 month. I never felt how bad your state racially profiles people. Because your state does that soo much you have a high amount of crime. Also, I notice you only mention the bad thing of minorities but what white people do only the positive. I never see news of positive what a minority does. The young people feel that their only place in society is to be a thug. When I lived in your state for the short time. A police stopped because I have not changed my license plate from my car. The police stopped me asked for my drivers license and registrations and proof of insurance. I handed all that to the police then he thru it at me and told me that I only have week to change that. That was it. The other time I was stopped because I was leaving your state and the police stopped for speeding. I was not going to argue or say anything. I was surprised how much that man yelled at me and treated me as if my presence in Arizona is not welcomed.

i'm white and been stopped and cited,wasn't arrested because i didn't committ a crime that required me to be arrested, i am positive that if minorities are being arrested it's because they have committed a more serious offense! what about whites that are arrested, what if there arrested by an officer of another race? you want the answer? they deserve to be arrested reguardless, quit trying to find a way out. hhmm.. lets see, an officer gets a call, let's say 2 men in a poorly lit parking lot, officer has no good description, arrives and finds 2 black men.oops i said black! doing something that is illegal, upon asking for identifcation they take off running, now more resources are tied up , they eventually get caught with the usual dope and firearms..should the police let them go because there skin color. get your facts straight, IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO A TRAFFIC STOP OR SEARCH OR SEIZURE BASED ON SKIN COLOR, THERE HAS TO BE A VIOLATION OR SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS, CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A TOPI
