Why is it unjust to spend limited FBI resources focusing on high risk groups?

Do you think they should be monitoring bridge games at nursing homes?

Do you think that Arab and Muslim Americans have never been involved in domestic terrorist operations?

Some people are not considered "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law". That is what I find unjust. I can accept focusing on "high-risk groups" (although one should question how this definition of a high-risk group is constructed), monitoring them, and trying them in court. What is unjust is punishing them without a fair trial.

You're making very strong allegations towards a group of humans solely based on their ethnicity or religion.

Nope. I have made no 'allegations'.

Then what are you implying by your third question?
