By that logic, I suppose you agree with NYC's "stop and frisk" policy. Because, just in case.
It's like saying "There are lots of black people in prison, hence it's a good idea to stop and frisk them, just in case, because you know the track record". That sort of circular logic is why I feel my blood pressure go up every time I think about it.
