Welcome back – or just a thank you for catching up- to our SSFPD on the community alert updates. Been missing for 2 wks and it makes it tough to ‘have a relationship between public and PD’ if we don’t get timely updates.

Profiling
We all ‘profile’. Have you ever made a wrong assumption?
This brings us to another topic.
We all ‘profile’ whether we want to call it that or not. We size up a situation and the people involved and make our decisions based on what we see, while using past experiences as our guide.
Which leads us to this discussion – how do you know when something is amiss or if it is ok – have you ever made an assumption only to find out it was wrong?
What would you do in this situation (taken from PD files, and we agree when in doubt call 911!)
8 male subjs (look like gang members) wearing red/whi/blk clothing loitering and blocking ……property rp’s property, rp doesn’t feel safe.
This is only a curious question seeking a respectful discussion.
Interesting question. I query how Zimmerman could get a not guilty for profiling Trayvon Martin, and I’m wondering then that we have neighborhood watch signs that tell us to contact the PD if we see suspicious behavior — a good thing that the warning is to call the PD, and not take things into our own hands.
But, I wonder if our SSF PD didn’t profile 15-year old Derrick Gaines by McDonald’s last year.
I wonder if our PD is taught to shoot first and ask questions later — very dangerous practice.
