From the FBI Database in 2002: Murder crimes
Whites: 5,356
Blacks: 5,579
Now, the whites are the majority but are committing less crimes.

So is it that the cops aren't looking at race, or are they just playing the odds, and in doing so using race as a factor in determining who to pull over?
I think that for some, not all, when you are a cop you look for minorities because you know statistically that they are more likely to be breaking the law. That is called racial profiling.
