Arguments Against Agent Hick

People have taken the issue of racism too far where the slightest comment or move of an officer to an individual of a different race is seen as racist. In my opinion, agent Hick did what he believed to be the best move in capturing illegal trafficking from Weaver. Agent Hick had reasonable doubt to stop Weaver when he saw him move rapidly from the airplane toward the taxicab with two bags. In my part, seeing an individual with two bags is normal, but when the individual looks nervous and especially coming from Los Angeles where is known for having many gangs like the Crips and/or Bloods I would find it strange and will be very alert. Therefore, I believe that Agent Hick did not conduct race-based stop, even though it might have been seen in that way when he testified that Weaver was a young black male. …show more content…
The reason for saying this is because it is simply racist the fact that most stops conducted have been and should be on black and/or Hispanic people. I find it great that law enforcement officials conduct stops on people that seem suspicious, but not just focus on black and Hispanic people and especially those that are not suspicious of anything. I believe that instead of decreasing crime in New York City the only thing that this policy has been doing and will continue doing is creating anger and more crime. Moreover, there are no difference in the formulas, because the intention to still stop black and Hispanic people is still happening and it should not be this way, but sadly it is. All in all, every person regardless of their race should be stop if found
