If you do not see a pattern here you are an excellent candidate for the ACLU staff. You need to get out there and fight against profiling. Enforce the need to stop little old ladies and blonde tootses, Establish the need for law enforcement to play stupid on purpose. It may be less effective, but it is more fair, right?
Wrong.
If you are not ACLU material, but you agree there is not a pattern there's a good chance you are a Democrat or should be one. Also, if you cannot detect the pattern, be aware that you are not yet to the analytical cognitive level of thinking. Once you get there you can be a Republican, too.

This aversion to profiling has never made sense to me either. Why wouldn't you profile. If a lizard eats a fly, why look at frogs to see who did it?

I agree. If a blonde is suspected of a crime, don't stop brunette men to add balance. It's idiotic not to see things the way they are.
