Racial Profiling Lives On

It seems like we will never learn. It seems like this will never change. This has been around for centuries and we still do not seem to get the memo. When are people going to finally realize that physical appearance isn't the only thing that matters. Its honestly very annoying how people discriminate just by someone else's skin color. I have seen this happen so much and it needs to stop. 

Notes 

• historic ruling by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin that the stop-and-frisk practices of the New York Police Department violate the Constitution is being applauded as a major victory against unreasonable policing. 
• “This is a very dangerous decision made by a judge who I think does not understand how policing works,”
•  the Supreme Court has given police officers to target African-Americans and Latinos with little or no basis.
• Despite the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, the Supreme Court’s interpretation of that provision gives the police frighteningly wide discretion to follow, stop, question, frisk and employ excessive force against African-Americans and Latinos who have shown virtually no indication of wrongdoing.
• Officer can follow someone without any hint that they had done anything wrong. 
• If someone were a Latino, the Officer could argue that they “looked Mexican,” and therefore believed that they were undocumented.
