    They did the obvious thing. Obviously, some people will get butthurt. Shrug.

    So does this mean people of North African descent are more likely to commit crime?
    Yes. Everyone that goes out from time to time and don't spend their spare time on GenOT realized that a long time ago. It's not new and it didn't start with the mass immigration from last years. It's always been the case.

    Buubbbbut... Do you have any stats ?

    No. It's illegal my friend.

    Oh, I am not saying that it was the wrong thing to do. Only that I did not expect them to do so.

    And I was not saying you did say it's wrong . Merely a drive-by comment.

    The butthurt comment was directed to other parties entirely.

    The left crybabies used this rhetoric in Holland aswell. How dare the police use statistics to have a higher probability to catch criminals.

    We have to arrest an equal amount of 80 year old females compared to 25 year old blacks driving in fancy cars or the crowd will scream racism.

    No, it is about who gets controlled by police and why. I think it would be wrong if the police stops and searches you because you are black That would also be illegal in Germany, if I am not mistaken. If they control people because of their behaviour or other other circumstances that would be no problem. I think they do this at football events if they expect that there will be hooligans on site.
    I understand the reaction in this case because of what happened last year in that city. I hope and think that this will not become standard police procedure.

    Behavioural profiling is absolutely standard and it should be. Opposing fans from rivaling football clubs are routinely separated from home fans at local derbies. People get hung up on race in this case and forget that sometimes behavioural profiling can coincide with the target group being mainly from one ethnicity. That doesn't mean that racial profiling was the base.

    Laws restrict freedom, that's their entire purpose. They are there to prevent someone from doing something. Now, if that restricted action is harmful, then it is a net increase to freedom. If the restricted action causes no harm, then the net result is a reduction in total freedom. Since innocent people were detained, you have a net reduction in freedom.

    Confiscating all guns would also reduce crime. Putting a governor on all automobiles that stopped them from going over the speed limit would also reduce crime. Let's do it.
    would it now? i strongly doubt it. I own a firearm, yet I commit no crimes. so I fail to see your sorry point.

    People want take away the freedoms of innocent people to prevent crimes. Confiscating all firearms would restrict the freedoms of innocent people in an attempt to reduce crime. It's the same principle.

    How do you take away illegal guns? (you know that type of gun that gets used in the majority of crimes atleast in europe) No one knows who has illegal guns. Wouldnt the government need to search your house / car / body to find them? Arent you against this? Seems like taking away even more freedoms to find the few people with guns.

    Of course I'm against it, I'm against it all. That's the entire point.

    You are thinking in too much extremes.

    Security screenings at events are minor compared to removing all guns (if its even possible to remove all).

    I'm basing my thinking on being consistent, and not a hypocrite. Far too many people want to force their beliefs into others, but scream bloody murder when others want to do the same to them.

    You base your thinking on a utopian dream world that has nothing to do with reality. Only weak people think in extremes only.

    Being logically consistent is not extreme, nor is it weak. Should we start applauding hypocrisy?

    The reality is that people are hypocrites, and I will call them out on it.

    I thought there wasn't allowed to be any discussion involving race on these forums? At least, that's what the moderator implied in the 3 threads about a black-on-white hate crime in the US. Weird.

    so instead of german police doing their job and preventing incidents like last year's immigrant sexual assault fest, they should be doing nothing and allow immigrants to assault more women this year?
