Bengals Lewis suggests his players are being targeted by police!

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

#1. Marvin Lewis explicitly stated in the past that he had to draft some talented players with character issues since no free agents wanted to go to Cincy. So, to that extent, Marvin shouldn't complain about players who he drafted and who had prior character issues getting arrested. He had fair warning, acknowledged that he took a risk, and he took a couple of hits on those gambles.

#2. As for the players, if they are engaging in criminal activities, they should never complain about getting busted. As corny as it sounds, if you can do the crime, be prepared to do the time.

#3. Profiling does exist and, while it may make sense to many who are not subjected to it, there are an awful lot of innocent people who get harassed by cops because they fit a "profile." For those of you who have not been subject to profiling, you probably don't think that being singled out, stopped, questioned, and treated like a thug is a big deal. But, I can tell you that many of you (particularly those with right or libertarian leaning political persuasions) would be offended by profiling if you were actually a constant target of police. I'm not saying that profiling, of whatever kind, should always be banned. I am saying, however, that it is easy to enthusiastically support profiling when you are not subjected to it.
