I think that it is great that people are looking at both shootings made by not only regular people yet also people that are shot by the police. I think it is an interesting statistic to look at.

It is good to get the stats on the number of people killed by the police and other individuals. That way, no harsh bias can be argued.

I understand that Arizona is just trying to stop immigration but some of the laws and rules taking place are making it seem like it is allowed to racial profile. Though that may not be the case. People are thinking that if you look Mexican then the police can pull you over but I reality there most likely not going to do that. If you get pulled over for speeding and then for some reason the cop thinks you could be illegal then he can ask for paper work. I get that the law seems racial, but Arizonans should not care so much if your a citizen and have nothing to hide.

Arizona immigration laws have consistently supported racial profiling and make it difficult for legal Latinos to avoid being harassed, interrogated and detained unlawfully. State laws should be fair and adhere with constitutional freedoms afforded all citizens. If you're an American citizen, you're afforded the same rights as other citizens and should not be detained unlawfully because you "look like an immigrant". This is where Arizona crosses the line with it's immigration laws.

I understand how these immigration laws here in Arizona can make people feel, however i feel like if i have nothing to hide whats the problem. I still don't like the fact that it makes it so easy for police to racial profile because its almost insulting to get pulled over for no reason except skin color. I have seen cops pull people over just for skin color, especially in the northern part of Arizona and its wrong.

This article talks on a new ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. In the past, if two occupants lived legally in the same house, it was required for an officer to have a warrant and permission from BOTH of the residents before being able to enter. Even if one person said yes and the other said no, the officer would not be able to enter. Now, if an officer has the, "ok" from at least one of the occupants, they can enter with just their approval.
