HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- One person is under arrest following an early morning stabbing in Huntington.

Here we go again with this RACE mess!!!! I think this Martin guy needs to fight his Obstruction charge and say that the Officers RUFFED him up when they got him back to the station because he's WHITE!!!! Cause GOD knows if he was BLACK the NAACP would be on the news takin up for the man. But I know what really happen, I bet the man he stabbed was black, this was over a drug deal, the dude was from Detroit and ..........the cops that arrested him were BLACK! There we go, now it all makes sense!!!!!

Smart man Scott, are you trying to be clever or what? Whether you like it or not, there's no crystal ball that tells law enforcement when and where the next crime is going to happen. All they can do is follow the leads and use something you have little of and that would be a good helping of common sense. I'll tell you right now, if they suspect that someone in the community is going around stabbing folks and the lead points them towards a certain description or profile (word used in law enforcement for years) then I wouldn't necessarily expect that they would be stopping folks for DWB when working that case. Profiling has gotten a bad wrap. It's really a diversion or red herring that's put out there by certain groups to draw the attention away from a bigger problem that plauges our neighborhoods and schools. Try to sound a bit more educated the next time you try to come off funny.
