Maybe I'm misreading what's being discussed here, but I don't think anyone disagrees with profiling as it is shown to be an effective tool. I, like many others likely, have no problem with criminal profiling but have a big problem with arm chair detectives attempting the same thing. Law enforcement bodies have extremely sophisticated protocols, science and software making profiling an extremely powerful tool. An arm chair detective has pictures stripped from the internet and some sort of inherent racial bias.
