re: #543 lawhawk

The report was focused on the right wing of the political spectrum. It was right there in the title. My beef is that it was overly generalized and nonspecific so as to be useless to law enforcement for profiling purposes (to discern potential threats).

Again, I have to disagree. I don’t think any information is “useless” to law enforcement, and I don’t think everything in the report was necessarily intended only to help discern potential threats. This kind of background information can also help cops tie cases together by being able to notice shared characteristics, or help them recognize important evidence immediately after a crime happens, or many other possible uses.
