The following statement was uttered by the Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, Joe Arpaio, "It isn't racial profiling," the sheriff said. "We don't arrest just anybody on a street corner." Proving the old wive's tale, it is better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

What's wrong with profiling? Gotta get the thugs off the street somehow?
This blog post was not intended to provide my position on racial profiling. I have to admit that in some situations racial profiling is not a bad thing; I definitely engaged in racial profiling in my search for an eternal companion. I just thought the Sheriff's comment was comical. "We don't arrest just anybody on a street corner," implies that you arrest only certain individuals. Thus, this Sheriff arrests only certain groups of people, but yet he does not believe he racially profiles?
