Michael Glasser told Steve Carroll:

It's not just blacks, it's males too, the poor and crazy.
Profiling is bad, just as giving away needles is bad,
but it's better than the alternative ( dead cops, dead junkies ).

We search for the LeastBad option, hold our noses, and go for it.

From WikiPedia:

  four police officers [...] were fatally shot at 
  the Forza ( now Blue Steele ) Coffee shop [...] near Tacoma.  

  A gunman, later identified as Maurice Clemmons,
  entered the coffee shop, shot the officers who were working
  on laptops to prepare for their shifts, and fled the scene.  

  Prior to his involvement in the shooting, Clemmons 
  had at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and 
  at least eight felony charges in Washington.

  His first incarceration began in 1989, at age 17. 

  Facing sentences totaling 108 years in prison, 
  the burglary sentences were reduced in 2000 by Governor of 
  Arkansas Mike Huckabee to 47 years, which made him 
  immediately eligible for parole. 

  The Arkansas Parole Board unanimously moved to release him in 2000. 

  Clemmons was subsequently arrested on other charges 
  and was jailed several times. In the months prior to 
  the Parkland shooting, he was in jail on charges of
 
  ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER  AND  RAPING A CHILD . 

  One week prior to the Parkland shooting, he was released 
  from jail after posting a $150,000 bail bond.    

Note: Maurice Clemmons isn't a 90 year old Japanese lady.

Again, it's the LeastBad option.
Hold your nose, Go for it.

Steve is a musician, maybe he likes to party.

No need for that, I think.

> * you insisted Politfact has a bias    but failed to show it

They promote premises that are useful to their tribe;
compared to this, truthiness simply doesn't matter. 

> * Nit picked some wording of mine only to have me agree and offer better 
> wording, but then you went back to it picking the SAME wording!

Steve looks for humility in you two, Michael and Fabian,
knowing he won't find it; he gets off on it, somehow.
