Solution: Send the National Guard to Myrtle Beach for the White and Black Bike Week. If they obey the law and cause no problems good. But if they don't slap them in jail and fine them on the spot enough to clean their pockets. The best way to curb bad behavior is through the back pocket. Either they will get tired of being milked or run out of money. Problem solved. Impeding traffic, intersections, indecent exposure, alcohol violations and property damage would be enough to bear down on the first year.

| So using your theory in relation to the Myrtle Beach incident, are you saying that murders during other weeks are ignored simply because they aren't committed by black people?
| Our discussion about profiling took the topic of this thread off in another direction. Can't really remember how it happened and too lazy to weed back through and get to the bottom of it! I feel pretty confident that the MBPD have ever right to expect the shooters in these recent shootings to be black since they involved blacks and the city had experienced a sudden increase in the number of blacks visiting the area. Not to mention that several eye witness accounts claim that fights had broken out between blacks which escalated into gunshots. (Basing this on the last things I read, which is not current...so I may not be up to date.) These crimes likely have nothing to do with any crimes that happened previously and one has nothing to do with the other, including the way they are investigated. That was a stretch, even for you. Don't try to saddle me with that ridiculous theory. That said, it would not be a stretch of the imagination to consider that there could have been an altercation initiated by a white person that wanted to stir up trouble that was at the root of the fighting and shooting. Especially if that person wanted to put the wheels in motion to build a case against MB having a Black Biker's Week. I'm not into conspiracy theories, but, I'm not against considering all possible angles either. Regardless, I figure it was as simple as a couple of guys that didn't see eye to eye with each other, had too much alcohol, became mouthy, and one thing led to another.

As I type, the town council is meeting, along with residents of MB, regarding the violence this past weekend. Hopefully this will be the last year of the Memorial weekend Bikefest. There's also a facebook page: Myrtle Beach Against Bikefest.

And there is always a likelihood that a witness may be incorrect or intentionally lying. That doesn't mean that you must ignore eye witness descriptions in order to keep from offending anyone.

An incorrect witness can taint any investigation. Actually there have been multiple break-ins all with the same description, so I don't think that's the case.

Do you remember the case of Susan Smith, the mother in SC that first claimed a black man stole her car from her and drove away with her children in tow and the law put out an APB for the suspect? And we know how that all turned out.
Mom, what if the eye witnesses that claims to have seen black men in your area about the time the break ins occurred were actually involved in the break ins and using their eye witness accounts to distract LEO's away from themselves? Valuable time gets wasted checking on the where abouts of all the black men in the area while the real guilty, white ones are free to keep repeating the crime, or, at least, getting away with what is already done.
Profiling can be a useful tool if used properly. But it can be, and, is abused, which does little to combat actual crime; instead just giving us a false sense of safety and accomplishment.

| But you are comparing them differently and your scenario won't work. In the trucking example you used you based it on actual accidents. That means in order to use your analogy you would need to base your percentage on actual crime numbers. That being said, the persons actually committing the most crimes should be stopped more frequently.
| My analogy is based on the reality of what happens in trucking every day. Ask Satan and the other truckers on here. Likewise the reality is if you only use the numbers that say that all those blacks in prison have actually committed crimes more than whites, then you are ignoring the reality that they are treated as suspects more often, which leads to arrests more often, which leads to convictions more often, which leads to sentencing more often. Don't ignore the fact that they are more apt to be living in poverty, can't afford a better attorney, have less clout to swing a plea and get a lesser charge and sentence. This isn't an attempt to imply that those that are found guilty aren't really guilty. It is an attempt to show that white people are getting a free pass while the cops are busy profiling blacks. Is a crime more heinous and detrimental when committed by a black person than by a white person? You are assuming that the cops are being unbiased and only stopping people that they are suspicious of for good reason, or, caught in the act of committing a crime. Profiling means the cops are using bias to stop a particular person regardless of his/her behavior simply because of skin color, the way they are dressed, or some other criteria that may or may not indicate a crime has been or is being committed. Example: Cops stop black man in a hoodie walking the streets at 1 AM. Suspected of scoping out cars in the neighborhood that might have been left unlocked. In reality, he was walking home from a second shift job. Searched. Found to have a half a joint of pot on him. Charged with simple possession. Put on list of possible suspects and questioned for stealing after multiple car breakins were reported the following day. Meanwhile, 2 young, clean-cut looking, white teens were ignored by the cops as they walked the same city street at midnight. Assumed to be walking home from the movies, sporting event, or job. In reality, they had been breaking into cars and talking items to pawn/sell so they could buy cocaine which they used right away and had none in their possession. Never suspected. Never charged. So who gets a records? Which crime is more worthy of police attention? Which criminal would you rather see get arrested? Before you say "both", remember how much you don't like paying taxes...
