Would we subject African-American police officers to 'extra' screening because of Chris Dorner?

Absolutely not.

So, why are some so-called progressives okay with subjecting thousands of people to screenings just because of their ethnicity and religion?

I say let them all in, we already have terrorists within our country killing people everyday and they're called Gang members most of whom are of the Christian or Catholic faiths.

I honestly don't get why people get so freaked out when Muslims commits violent crimes, its as if 11,700 people haven't died this year so far due to gun violence in our own country (That's 36 people a day BTW).
