Do you personally know a police officer who arrested someone because of race? If so, what happened?

Are you talking about the Anne Arundel County Police Department? Haven't they and other police departments in that county been accused of racism for a number of years?

I was once accused of having stopped a Black guy because he was with a white woman, it turned out we had mutual friends who assured him he was stopped because of his driving. I got him to go on a 'ride along'. That convinced him.

SPC Randy Torgerson - True, Life is not fair. But we are talking about outright discrimination based on minor factors that extremely few people will admit to; and therein lays the problem. The companies I was talking about have call centers, where the employee count is around 250 and the respective companies employ more than 1,000 individuals.
But when the base requirement for the job is a language proficiency of 3/3/3 and both individuals have a proficiency of 4/4/4 and they will not be business face to face with a customer, those kind of normally unnoticed items become very telling. Especially when on the surface it appears that the first reduction/selection criteria inadvertently was their NAME. I do not care what you call it, affirmative action, profiling, stereotyping, or discrimination - it is morally wrong; more so when it is institutionalized.

CW3 Susan Burkholder, are you saying that CPT Coutu's question is suspect or my statement is suspect? I thought that you were the one that obliquely brought "affirmative action" into the discussion and I was the one that made direct reference to it. Maybe my ego is showing. But what amazes me is that you made a declaratory statement about me and my knowledge of the subject matter; i.e., " You obviously don't understand what the intent of AA is or why it exists." What do you base this on? Because I am an older white male, that appears to be a WASP; or is it that you are a non-white female, and know more about the subject matter because of that? Or is it because you are in HR and I am not?
And yes, I know what AA is, what it is supposed to do, what it actually does, and how it is twisted by different special interest groups. In a couple of cases, I have been a recipient of AA; first when my eldest son was given an educational grant (low income family) to attend college, and secondly in hiring preferences in a private company because I am classified as a "disabled veteran". So yes, I know what AA is and have taken advantage of it. I have also seen how it can be abused, both knowingly and unknowingly. And my personal opinion - I despise those that knowingly abuse AA, and try to educate those that unknowingly abuse it.
Though most books and text on this very subject are expensive, I would suggest that you purchase or borrow some to hopefully gain a better insight into the subject material. These materials are available at your local college in either the Criminal Justice, Psychology, and or Human Resources subject areas.
And the story I told above is true, both of the gentleman are my sons and also have the same mother.

I think the question is suspect. I think the poster is trying to generate something. "Points and influence" perhaps? He chose and worded the question with a bias, what cop on this forum or anywhere would say they make arrests based on race? Therefore, most posts will say that this doesn't happen. And, sigh, I used employment discrimination as an analogy. YOU brought in AA to the discussion and incorrectly as well. Pointing out your error is I guess derogatory? Funny, how there is no picture in my profile yet you assume I am "non-white." Is that because only blacks, minorities, and criminals criticize police?

SPC Randy Torgerson - Sigh, I did not call you an alcoholic. I didn't even know you existed when I posted my comment to the question (not you) and you chose to respond to me. Must have hit a nerve..... I also notice you have posted on just about everyone else's comments though.........

CW3 Susan Burkholder - Yep, I post where I feel information is misleading at best. Or sometimes to agree or give my thoughts. Having been a police officer in addition to the military, I take it a little personal when all police officers are attacked. Its not enough to say most are good. 1/10 of 1% are bad. Yet things like Dallas happens.... I call people on their stories sometimes because they are far from the truth. I think some people are to sensitive and some people just want to make a point so they exaggerate their story. We can't solve any problems if people are not honest in the discussion. One gentleman on here said and I quote "75% of all illicit drug use is by white people"....... I was able to demonstrate via government studies that 9.5% is by whites. People here and everywhere just say what they want and its dishonest. So it will never get better until honesty in conversation takes place.

MSG, I went to Louisiana in the mid 80 80's on recruiting duty, and that attitude was still alive and well there. My children had been growing up in military housing. I wasn't sure how to answer them the day they asked me why all the black people lived on one side of town and all the white people lived on the other. I thought I had been sent back at least 30 years in time.

I don't know.
