It's getting away with the "killing" part that they're objecting to, not so much the profiling part.
I think the statement, 'These punks always get away' makes the profiling rather obvious.
Profiling?
Don't both of you really mean racial stereotyping?
As far as I know, an ordinary citizen is NOT prohibited from racially stereotyping -or- "profiling" another person.
And "Punks", MS . . . that word must mean "nigger" to you.
To me, it is a word without color ('race', if you prefer).
"George . . . knowingly profiled a black unarmed teenager . . ."
Really, Spy? Tubbie knew Skittles was unarmed?
Too bad the prosecution didn't have that nugget at trial.
The law, when written, was color blind.
It remains so.
