While the government spends billions on cameras, and face recognition technology directed at us to spy on us all, people are being arrested for pointing cameras at police.
I hope I'm not the only one that sees the problem here. Its all about using our money and resources to keep us in line when its the government that stages criminal activities like fast and furious that needs the cameras pointed at them.

Government promised us jobs by using taxpayer funds to spend on projects -- the administration called it "Stimulus Spending." The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) spent some of its money on "Next Generation Identification Program" developed by Lockheed Martin Transportation and Security Solutions and IBM.
NGI will connect with tens of thousands of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to apply facial recognition to the American public. NGI has the ambitious goal "to reduce terrorist and criminal activities by improving and expanding biometric identification and criminal history information services through research, evaluation, and implementation of advanced technology."

GIZMODO.COM reports:
How would you feel if the government could easily track your movements by automatically identifying your face on images captured by the ever-growing network of CCTV of cameras in America? The FBI will be able to do just that soon, with its one-billion-dollar Next Generation Identification program.

He can't pick his parents(and melanin content of his skin), but he can decide whether or not to jihad innocent people to death.
I'm libertarian, and the TSA fist-f@cks Americans every day for going to family funerals, but we shouldn't FIND those muslim terrorist bombers, huh?
Or the muslim panty bomber, shoe bomber, etcetcetc.
Go shampoo your prayer rug, and dream of sawing my infidel head off like KSM did on Youtube.
Shalom!
I love how people think because I am not a bigot like you .. I must be a Muslim .
Thank those in the government uf America for this
Starting with George W. Bush on 9/11
Which race is/has been persecuted by the above groups?
I believe it's pretty much all groups who are non-white. If you're referring to Muslims, that's a religious belief, not a race. Muslims are of every race imaginable.
It makes more sense to watch some specific groups people than it does to watch other specific groups of people. Period. There is no need to compromise the privacy of ALL of us for the sake of a few however there is ALL the reason to profile the few for the sake of the many. Let's profile and take a better aim at the most likely offenders. It's not about being a bigot, you know better than that. There are more terrorists that want us dead than we have in all of our intelligence departments. It's about maximizing your efforts and being one step ahead of the game and nothing more. No one wants to be unduly spied on, especially Republicans!
Seriously.
And those examples you gave are of some groups that should have been profiled as well but to put up cameras to watch the MASSES whom are NOT terroristic threats is ridiculous. There is no point in profiling EVERYONE or it wouldn't be profiling and it wouldn't be effective...either in manpower or in costs. Not a very good use of taxpayer dollars and an invasion of reasonable privacy.
I think one of the first lessons in life my parents taught me is that life isn't fair and I'm sorry, but those who provoke are going to face more scrutiny, and that IS fair.
It is also about CULTURE and LOYALTY as well. Culture is a broad spectrum of things including the arts, language, biology, ect.... If a culture as a whole has proven to be violent against Americans, then they need to be watched. It is not a stretch to then take it a step further and say that if they are not Americans themselves, and they are from a country with proven historical hostilities against Americans, then they are likely to be LOYAL to their home country and therefore need to be scrutinized more than others. So, I don't think ALL Muslims want us dead but I do think that based upon their ACTIONS, HISTORY, CULTURE and LOYALTIES they are more prone to acts of violence and should be profiled. And hell yes, if it comes between me and them, I'd bomb the crap out of them too! We've earned our slice of paranoia in this country.
Here in a few short minutes is the anniversary of 911 and it wasn't the first attempt, nor will it be the l...

Here in a few short minutes is the anniversary of 911 and it wasn't the first attempt, nor will it be the last...only a fool would think that. There ARE some who will stop at nothing to destroy this country and currently it isn't the crazy white guy in the theater, nor even the guy that shot Gabby Giffords...one look at either of them and you know they're nuts. The people that want to kill us, those who happen to be Muslims, are not crazy, they just hate us...most of them anyhow.
I'm not sure this is the "rest" my doc advised. Whew!

This is a pretty thorough list: http://www.hatedirectory.com/...
Most of the hate groups in the US are white.
But I will tell you what I told Joey, when I say certain groups should be watched more than others, I mean specific groups. I told him Muslims because that is what he was specifically referring to in the context of that post. If these groups you listed have a HISTORY, ACTION, CULTURE and LOYALTY to terrorist activities, then hell yeah, DEFINITELY need to be watched and profiled. I'm guessing they are all klan groups of some type?
Edit: I reread it where I had just grazed that list before, it is clearly klan groups.
They are white hate groups against just about anything/one. In America, there are really only two non-white hate groups: Black Panthers & Muslim Brotherhood.
Most of the hate in America is from white men who are full of fear.
Wow, that is one hell of a loaded statement.
...& pretty freakin' accurate. Notice that the majority of all terrorism & assassinations in the US are by white men... & all because they are either afraid of not getting something they want or losing something they've got. During the racial strife in the US, it was white men afraid of sharing, well, basically everything... but particularly power. Now, it's white men afraid of pretty much the same thing from Hispanics & those Muslims of Arabic descent. Fear is probably the biggest motivator humans have. It's why it's used to control masses of people.
It's just that white men have done just about all the damage in our nation... since its inception. It started with the systematic destruction of as many Native American nations as possible, continued with African slavery & the deplorable treatment of the Chinese, continued through the detainment of the Japanese & now with the legal imprisonment of Hispanics... all of this legitimized through the legislative process.
Fear: one hell of a powerful weapon.
