2 NYC Officials Call for Racial Profiling

NEW YORK - Middle Easterners should be targeted for searches on city subways, two elected officials said, contending that police have been wasting time with random checks in efforts to prevent terrorism in the transit system.

The city began examining passengers' bags on subways and buses after the second bomb attack in London two weeks ago. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have said several times that officers will not engage in racial profiling.

But over the weekend, state Assemblyman Dov Hikind said police should be focusing on those who fit the "terrorist profile."

"They all look a certain way," said Hikind, a Democrat from Brooklyn. "It's all very nice to be politically correct here, but we're talking about terrorism."

On Tuesday, Republican City Councilman James Oddo said the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attack by Middle Eastern men in hijacked airplanes prompted him to publicly declare his support for Hikind's statements.

"The reality is that there is a group of people who want to kill us and destroy our way of life," he said. "Young Arab fundamentalists are the individuals undertaking these acts of terror, and we should keep those facts prominently in our minds and eyes as we attempt to secure our populace."

Oddo commended Hikind for "rushing headlong against the strong undertow of political correctness."

Hikind said he planned to introduce legislation allowing police to racially profile, and Oddo said he intended to introduce a resolution in the City Council supporting the measure.

The director of the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Wissam Nasr, said their push for racial profiling is offensive and ignorant.

"Terror comes in all shapes and sizes, and certainly there's no legislation or system that's going to identify terrorists on the spot," Nasr said.

The New York Police Department said in a statement that racial profiling is "illegal, of doubtful effectiveness and against department policy."

The Republican mayor reiterated Tuesday that it is against the law and doesn't work. "I'm against it for fairness reasons, and we're not going to do it," he said.

ironically enough, all white supremacists look alike too. perhaps all white people should be subject to beat downs..after all, it may not be politically correct but we are talking about afrikan liberation here.

[Daisho]

Yeah, cue the smoke machine here...

Hasn't racial profiling always been the Norm????

check Arabs for bombs,

search blacks and latinos at will for drugs, guns and perhaps a stolen car in their back pockets.

while you're at it pat down those japanese tourists they might be al-ninja cult extremists.

Grab those NDN's they may be transporting Peyote, shrooms...what's really in that peace pipe???

check those Hindus those red dots might just be Hash.



so on and so on...

Yeah...I was thinking kinda along those lines too. Specially when I read the words: They all look a certain way," The reality is that there is a group of people who want to kill us and (have) destroy(ed) our way of life," "and we should keep those facts prominently in our minds and eyes as we attempt to secure our populace."

I dont see the problem. The Irish were racially profiled when entering Britain when the IRA was bombing London. London would be in ruins by now had they not

Blessings of Peace and Serenity,

DAISHO: You are indeed correct, but if a political official can get their constituents to accept such tactic openly, it will no longer be considered illegally and unconstitutional. In fact, people will deliberately lobby for the passage of such laws federally. Since the Bush administration has been in office an "anything goes open" policy has been in effect.

That is, they can do and have done what they wanted to despite the disagreement of world people, American constitutionalists, ACLU, and of course our people. His administration has neither loyalty nor concern for any agency, people, or issue aside from their own specific economic advancement and financial constituents.
