        If it's based on fact it cannot be racist.

        I'll give you the informed stat, black men commit more violent crimes, normally against each other, than any other race on the planet, it's not racist it's a fact.

        Truth may be inflammatory but the truth is the truth. If they had said it about white males, nothing would be said. Partisan racism which we are told it can't be because whites can't be racially abused.

        No it’s common sense, something that was left behind at the turn of the century, if a particular group in society are more likely to commit a crime you target that group. If a 90 foot tall gorilla was causing trouble in New York you wouldn’t target Pygmy hippopotamus would you?

        For once the police pinpoint likely perpetrators & the pc t**ts whine about racial profiling. What utter drivel. Should people be looking out for white girls instead? Of course not.

        Can we have some actual statistics on white/black young offender crime....This statement can then be evaluated in a more informed light, and condemned if proven to be erroneous/inflammatory !

        In 2010 in London. Black pop was 10%. 54 percent accused of street crimes were black; for robbery, 59 percent; and for gun crimes, 67 percent. Facts don't care about your feelings.

        Are they young? Are they Black? Are they intent on causing trouble? If the answer is yes what is the problem?

        Not to mention saying the wrong thing, being in the wrong place, waring the wrong thing and it's a big soulless city with no history in the middle of the desert. Yep, can see the appel!!

        "Does profiling make sense - or is it unfair?" If a dog bites you there's no sense looking for cats . When the IRA were planting bombs in England I'm sure the police were looking for Irishmen not "black males" .

        The criminal activity is the problem, not sensible advice to watch out for those known to be committing it.

        Ah. It used to be normal in the British Police Force, when trying to prevent certain crimes, to keep an eye out for those who were committing it. If you are looking for Italian Mafia for instance, you don't give a lot of attention to old grannies from Scotland.

        Okay, overlooking the terrible granny analogy, the thought process here is "We have to stop these stabbings. Be extra vigilant when black males are around?"

        Unfortunately for black males in areas where stabbings are prevalent, yes. It's simple common crime prevention.

        It's actually not difficult once you've experienced it a few times. Cops and pub landlords do it as a matter of course.
