Reply #255: It's not absurd at all: his statement is a "random fear or perversion"

[alcibiades_mystery]

Plenty of individuals from various groups have been responsible for "horrific acts." To "feel" afraid of people simply for wearing "Muslim dress" (as if there was such a thing!) is as irrational and stupid and essentially random as general misogyny. Mr. Williams enunciated the very essence of bigotry. Nobody, of course, is going to put him in jail over that.

As for the police, I suspect that any analyst or commentator for NPR (or any other established network) who uttered anything about the police similar to either Mr. Willaims' comments or the comments you're dreaming up here would be shitcanned double-quick.
