Did I mention that it was a rural area? Well, after we'd made some cases at the black bars in town (good cases, lots of violations), the local ACLU chapter complained to the judge that we were only hitting black bars, so the judge called ABC and told him we needed to hit some white bars.
So, the PC in this case wasn't so much Probable Cause as it was Politically Correct. We'd never search people, unless we independently evolved Probable Cause on the person. These raids were more a matter of licensing, fire codes, food health, etc. However, if we saw some dumbass emptying his pockets, we'd wander over and see what he was losing.
Obviously the fact that blacks are arrested more often for crimes is racism, and not the fact that they actually commit more crimes.
I seriously don't understand how people like that think. Before you go levying charges of racism, wouldn't you want to ask whether or not a certain group of people actually does commit crimes at a higher rate?
The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.

No, not if you like your well-structured pre-conceived notions of the world, and don't want anything causing a mess.
