I don't know, it's a tough one, on the one hand Police have a really hard job but on the other I firmly believe racial profiling goes on alot. The whole Cannabis users being targeted though is hardly the Polices fault, it's not down to them that cannabis is illegal and alcohol isn't

..yeah this really..there are some excellent police officers but it can't be dismissed that there are also some that are very much not..also, not specifically police officers either..I was watching an interview with a black actor the other day who was born in Nigeria and then moved to the USA...and something he said was really thought provoking..which was that it's not until you have a comparison of living in a country where you are not a minority/where you are not prejudiced against for your skin colour... that you realise how much racial profiling does exist ...
