This article talks about how a black man called David Long who was racially profiled. They also talk about how racial profiling is an ongoing issue in america.
Its really sad to hear stories like these pop up years later and as a reader you wonder why it took so long for them to come out. When I see responses like, "“What difference would it have made, an African-American complaining about a Caucasian officer to other Caucasian officers?”, it is really sad. We are suppose to live in a country of freedom and when we know our rights are violated but have no way of defending them? It can be a scary thing to think about.
I agree with how many people have been racially profile because I have many friends that go through this on a weekly basis, sometimes with the same officer too.
