Police profile constantly on traffic stops, whether it is policy to do so or not. Even if the profiling isn't racial, in most cop's minds, the odds of pulling over a blinged out 'sclade riding on 22's with limo tint all around and finding criminal behavior (suspended licenses, narcotics, driver impairment) is much greater than pulling over a minivan with soccer stickers on it. Whether we all agree with that statment or not, that is what the cops are thinking.
That's called profiling my friend. Too many times cops are riding around looking for some BS reason to pull someone over. They pull that shit all the time. Yet they are the first ones to whiz past you on the highway doing 90 when they are just going to the grocery store.

I bet that is what is going on in Cinn. and that's why Marvin Lewis said what he said. Again I'm not backing Chris Henry and the gang one bit. They need to clean up their act in the worst way. But know that there is some truth to what Marvin Lewis is saying. As a matter of fact I would put alot of stock into what he is saying.
