Should people who dress and act like gang bangers be treated with greater suspicion by police and the public?
For those who don't know what I mean, allow me to illustrate.

yes
would we treat people in nazi uniforms differently? yes.
would we treat people in any other uniform (and yes gangbanger clothes are a uniform of sorts) differently? yes
Last I checked, they WERE treated with greater suspicion by the police and public?
LP,
I would never befriend such lowly people with such poor cultural taste.
ARFeh,
But should they be? A lot of blacks dress this way, and to them it is racism.
nobody gives a shit whether they make it or not
nobody gives a shit if they like it
welcome to equality
I think that people who dress like lawyers can't be trusted personally
what do you mean, suit and tie lawyers, or Dpenguins and his velour tracksuit?

Yes they should. How you dress is how you choose to advertise yourself. If you choose to advertise yourself as a criminal you should be treated as such. Now personally I think people who dress like that (by choice) should be lined up and shot.
in Japan, and i think many other places, tattoos have the stigma of being something only criminals primarily wear... so its cool treating all people with tattoos as criminals?
yep
blacks have higher criminal rates then other races, creating a stigma of criminal tendencies for blacks in general, so its cool treating all blacks as criminals?
its not cool giving whites the benefit of the doubt
avo the difference being you don't choose your race; you do choose your clothing, tattoos, piercings, etc. and the stigma that comes with it.
"Land of the free! Pursuit of happiness! Say no to Big Government! Decrease the power of the State and police to interfere with our freedom! God bless America!"
"HE'S WEARING A TRACKSUIT! SUSPICION! PERSECUTION!"
wat
lynch mobs aren't big govt
dps, so if blacks could change the color of their skin, it would be ok to discriminate against blacks?
hmm wow, so michael Jackson had it coming!
"dps, so if blacks could change the color of their skin, it would be ok to discriminate against blacks?"
Hmm interesting question. If race and ethnicity were choices we made rather than accidents of birth I'd have to say yes, discriminating based on those would be ok. Whenever we make a choice we have to accept the consequences of that choice. If I get a tattoo that covers my whole arm I accept that I can't where short sleeves to the office. If I dress in a style associated with criminals I accept that people are going to be watching me more closely. If I have the option to change my race/ethnicity and don't I'm still making a choice (the choice not to act) and again have to accept the consequences.
I do however feel a small amount of sympathy for those who have choices forced upon them (people who dress like gangbangers cause they can't afford clothes that fit properly for example). However this sympathy does not extend very far.
lol....
its how you act... i mean living in Los Angeles (arguably the gang bang capital of the world), from experience, its more of how you act... around here, its almost considered "normal" to dress like so... police will harass you depending on how you act, even a normal guy dressed in a tie and suit will be harassed if he doesnt act right..

so you have no problem with cops raiding the houses of muslims because they're muslims and being muslim is a choice...?

Dickies are $20 in all sizes and plaid shirts are about $10. I never saw a gang of guys with plaid shirts tucked into black dickies.
