Dr. Williams on Profiling

Damn, is Dr. Walter E. Williams great or what? Fabulous piece; here's my favorite part:

There is no sense of justice or decency that a law-abiding black person should suffer the indignity being passed up. At the same time, a taxicab driver has a right to earn a living without being robbed, assaulted and possibly murdered. One of the methods to avoid victimization is to refuse to pick up certain passengers in certain neighborhoods or passengers thought to be destined for certain neighborhoods. Again, a black person is justifiably angered when refused service but that anger should be directed toward the criminals who prey on cabbies.

Emphasis mine. The cops didn't start it, y'all. As the man said at the beginning, the world is imperfect. Don't ignore the great imperfection present in a violent criminal to focus your microscope on the lesser and rather justifiable imperfection of the cab driver.
