“They just didn’t follow our rapid, screamed, contradictory instructions shouted by four different officers none of whom is the obvious leadership. It was suicide by cop. If only they had de escalated the situation my officers created.”
You keep missing the point that racial profiling isn’t about the ethnicity/national origin/skin color/religion/height/weight/ice cream flavor preference of the person profiled, but rather the perception of race by the person doing the profiling.
If a white dude got arrested for suspicious behavior by a color blind cop because the cop thought the white dude was a person of color, it would be racial profiling.
For pretending like you know what words “mean,” you’re terrible at it. A lie isn’t just saying something that is untrue. It’s an intentional attempt to deceive.
If a book is in the fiction section, it’s not a lie because it’s been disclosed that it’s fictional.
If a memoir is in the non-fiction section and it’s made up, then it would be a lie.
Unless an actor or a novelist purports that their fictions are truths, they’re not professional liars.
We pay to be deceived. The better the deception, the more we like it - hence Oscars for best performance. Just because you know something is a lie doesn’t mean it isn’t a lie. You are just acclimated to this form of lying. 
Nope. It’s not a lie. Telling a fictional story is different than lying. And knowing that an actual lie is a lie is different than knowing that the story you’re seeing, hearing, or experiencing is fictional. Suspension of disbelief is different than being deceived.
You’re also conflating people paying to be deceived (magician’s audience) with escapism (movie or book audience).
I’m sure this seemed profound when you posted it to Facebook.
1: the person in question wasn’t running
2: the person in question was wearing a religious scarf, NOT a “full face mask” OR a “bag over their head with eye holes”
3: even if those details weren’t horribly wrong, the situation you’re describing is still not justification to tackle someone to the ground!
You’re not showing it.
Good thing she isn’t male, then the police would have just shot her.

Way to go, France 
@Skeptic - you should move to Cannes. You’ll feel ever so much safer, and fit right in with the zeitgeist there.
Many states and municipalities have laws against wearing masks in public that make identification difficult. I think that would include niqabs and burqas.
AFAIK, Chicago is not one of those places, however.
All right Mr. Consistent,
What is it about public transit that makes it special over a public sidewalk, or a public road?
How is it consistent to allow someone to be anonymous in public in one place as opposed to another?
I can do it without sarcasm if you like…
You are missing the point.
It’s just… you know, a bit dry.
Which is why 70% of the population is arrested every winter in the higher northern latitudes.
Facial expressions and such are bullshit indicators as seen by the hyperparanoid. Never mind the cops will also make you nervous and then say you act suspiciously. Everything is suspicious. Too slow, too fast, too measured. Too calm, too nervous. Too quiet, too loud. Too compliant seems to be a problem for them too.
According to the America Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) '“Racial Profiling” refers to the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual’s race, ethnicity, religion or national origin.
For a longer treatment of the term, including sources that are not the ACLU, please see
You, sir, are either an idiot, or everybody else who speaks English is.
And by “idiot” I mean what everybody else who speaks English thinks it means, not whatever weird little private grammar you’ve made up for yourself.
Come on man…let it GO! 
Terrorists! And they have…some sort of sound weapons…!!! Eh, tackle them and taze them and maybe shoot them, just to be safe.
Oh, come on. It’s the first time in forever that I’ve said that.
The terrist name for them is “axes”.
AXES OF EVIL!
