Your lack of reading comprehension is showing.

I read just fine…you qualify your statement with an “I don’t believe” and then you gloat in the fact that the injustice is happening to the right people. Typical liberal…you aren’t concerned about doing the right thing…you’re just concerned about getting your way.

So....atttack the messenger??

Yep! Just like that fellow that got that cockroach nest in his mouth from licking an envelop. You believe everything you read on the net?

Isn't that what I just said?

Your 1st post (which I quoted) indicated that you were fine with people being profiled for their thoughts/beliefs. Your second seems to accept the premise that the DHS "assessment" justifies policing thought also. Imo

You're just twitchin' now cause it's your Ox getting gored this time.

You can't see that we're co-owners of the same beast?

Don't blame the actions of every peckerhead cop on Washington.

If this incident did happen (guess you didn't notice the "?" behind the thread title) do you honestly believe this stop would have happened 2 months ago, before the issuance of the MIAC report & consequent DHS assessment?

Nothing says I love America like a secessionist (?) bumper sticker, eh?

And Janeane Garafolo says conservative rednecks don't know their history?!?

"Benjamin Franklin helped make the rattlesnake a symbol of Americans' reluctance to quarrel but vigilance and resolve in defense of their rights..By 1775 when Gadsden presented his flag to the commander-in-chief of the Navy, the rattlesnake was a symbol of the colonies and of their need to unite in defense of threats to their God-given and inherited rights."

If Dogger get's unjustly detained by the Government he loves so much I'll gladly call all his friends to get him out. Anyone have a quarter they can lend me.

Police make profile stops all the time. The guy was stopped because he fit the current profile model. He was detained, checked out and released. Happens all the time boys.
I don't believe profile stops of vehicles is right. No matter what the profile parameters may be. We've chosen to give this power to law enforcement.
We have no one to blame but ourselves if it is misdirected.

Furthermore I doubt the veracity of a story where the only source is an un-named 'relative'.

Someone forgot to tell my agency and any other agency in my area. Sure would make things easier though. The reality is that we are bound by the "reasonable suspicion" and "probable cause" standards as are all law enforcement agency that I'm aware of. Tell me where in this country a law enforcement official can stand up at a press conference and say the defendant(s) were arrested as a result of a "profile hit". The reality is that there is an investigation and a gathering of evidence surrounding arrests.

Since when is displaying a flag of the United States being an extremist?

I will need far more than one article and a bit more proof to buy into this...

Never get near the things. Read on the net that 'prompter use can make a person sterile.

If the GOP had won and someone was stopped after the election for a pro Osama sticker, the left would be howling about it.
