(30,439 posts)But still don't take away from my experiences when it comes to people calling the police and being a nosey busbody.
Many minorities are hesitant to call police because there's simply a lack of trust between police and minorities. People having sex in a car? Out of all the problems in the world, that ranks pretty low on many peoples lists.
Also, statistics show that cops do indeed engage in racial profiling and tend to target minorities more often than other races. See 'stop and frisk' and the contraband stats from cities like Ferguson. See people having sex in a public place? Better to just go about your own business than call folks who disproportionately target you.
I think you could use a little more education when it comes to these issues. It's clear you don't really understand the dynamic between police and minorities.
That's the case with people who grew up in sheltered/homogeneous environments.
