PROFILING WORKS.
Based on past experience, you'd think that the administration and teaching staff at UC Berkeley would be blowing a gasket right about now. Two of their campus cops, both females, profiled the hell out of Philip Garrido and his two daughters when Garrido walked in to organize a lecture he wanted to inflict on the campus.

The two cops said that the girls appeared "robotic" and Garrido "didn't settle right with me." The two cops have obviously never taken a sensitivity class or been taught that being "judgmental" is anathema in a Progressive society. They were being cops. And they should be applauded for using gut instincts to ferret out a sick pervert.

Across academia, professors teach their captive audiences that profiling, especially when it comes to Middle Eastern terrorists, "doesn't work." They know this as an article of faith, the same way that Medeival "scholars" knew that witches float when you put them in water.

You'll notice that cops don't rush out to find the nearest Race, Class and Gender professor when they need to debrief a Sammy Gravano. The reason is that tenured professors live in the surreal world where no one can ever know anything with certitude. Their world is so complex and nuanced that they can back themselves into an epistemological corner, paralyzed to the point of moral and physical atrophy.

I think that for the most part profiling does not work (especially racial profiling). that being said, there are exceptions, and if you have ever been face to face with a person that is mentally unstable, you would know the feeling of red flags going up everywhere in your mind.this man is as unstable as they come, the security officer did her job well.

This character was on parole during some of this time. On cnn i heard them say society may be upset with the sysytem in this case.Well if it takes americas white girl getting raped to see society and the parole supervision cant stop a very passionate sexual deviant from living out his twisted lifestyle than maybe we should push for a zero tolerance to these sexual offenders. The "system" spends so much money protecting these cowards in and out of prison while correction officers take 20% pay cuts and the "boy" that goes to prison for his gang allegiance faces an automatic ten year enhancement, which is double the sentence your average molester gets who probably creates some of these gangsters and drug addicts "society" is quick to throw away, so does profiling work? NO it creates probable cause and should be adhered too but in the case of these type of scum once they are found out why let them out to endanger not only society but the minds of our future they are camoflauged into the public because society is looking for the bald heads, tattoos , and dark skinned while your little girls are being raped by your drinking buddies.

What if your drinking buddies are bald headed w/ tattoo's and dark skinned? Does that mean they don't rape?

Rape used to be a killing offence, but because of the sky is falling reports by upset girl friends that caught thier old man with another girl and just call 911 and get the guy arested, sometimes a guy can walk the line with that kind of case. But he will still catch shit on every yard. As far as profiling goes, the cops are gonna do it. Say you are big white and bald in Huntington Beach you are getting pulled over on GP, or say bald with a JC pennys T shirt and a sling shot underneath with Big Hazzard Tatooed on you neck in Los, you are getting the same treatment.
