Arguments Against Racial Profiling

Just what is racial profiling? Racial profiling is a law enforcement and security agency practice that encourages officers to stop, search, and investigate people based on race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. While racial profiling is most commonly committed against ethnic minorities, many instances of racial profiling occur in reaction to specific crimes, making any racial or cultural group subject to more intensive scrutiny by the authorities. (ebscohost.com) This is what I think bout racial profiling, it like it occurs when the police targets someone for investigation on the basis of that person's race, national origin, or ethnicity. Examples are the use of race to determine which drivers to stop for minor traffic

What is racial profiling? The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) defines racial profiling as “the discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting individuals for suspicion of crime based on the individual’s race, ethnicity, religion or national origin” (2005). Do not confuse racial profiling with criminal profiling; criminal profiling is usually practiced by police in which they use a group of characteristics that are associated with crime to target individuals (ACLU, 2005). Examples of racial profiling include using ones race to target specific drivers for traffic violations and pedestrians for illegal contraband; another prime example is the targeting of Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians since 9/11 in

When people act on their stereotypical views, that is when stereotyping becomes a big concern and can affect others.Stereotyping is the main cause that leads to profiling. Anyone of any race can experience profiling, and racial profiling discriminates and victimizes people who may not necessarily be committing a crime.

Racial profiling is a controversial and illegal practice in which an individual is targeted solely because of their race, ethnicity, or religion. This practice has been around for hundreds of years dating back to the beginning of slavery and still goes on today. Racial profiling comes in many forms and can be done by police officers, business owners or employees, airport security, or even regular citizens. Muslims, Hispanics, and African Americans are the usual targets of racial profiling. Muslims are usually labeled as terrorists, Hispanics are labeled as illegal immigrants, and African Americans are labeled as gang members.

Racial profiling involves using a person’s race in order to suspect them of doing something wrong or committing a crime. Racial profiling has been around for decades and has not went away. Law enforcement or people of authority use it in order to decide whether or not a person is suspicious. Racial profiling clearly goes against the fourth amendment right of no unreasonable search and seizure but has yet to be put to an end.

A serious civil rights issue is racial profiling. Racial profiling is the use of race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of having committed an offense or crime. The reason I will talk about this topic is because this is happening to a lot of African Americans as well as Muslim, Latinos, and others. Because of racial profiling, innocent citizens are being killed, put in prison, and discriminated against.

Racial profiling has reached epidemic proportions. In light of the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, and recently Mansur Ball-Bey one might be able to conclude (or theorize through conspiracy) that there is a bounty on the heads of people of color executed on the individual (micro) and ________ at the community (mezzo) and societal levels (macro). Racial profiling is the act of targeting a person or people based on their race or color for alleged criminal offenses not based on committing a crime. Racial profiling is a social justice issue and a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s 4th and 14th Amendments rights.

Racial profiling is “the inclusion of racial or ethnic characteristics in determining whether a person is considered likely to commit a particular type of crime or an illegal act or to behave in a predictable manner”(Racial Profiling,

Being an Officer of the law is dangerous profession. Many officers are killed in the line of duty every year and because of this sometimes police are put in situations that require excessive force. Recently what we have seen is that excessive force has ended in the death of an unarmed suspect. I want to address one of topic being spoken on the News right now, Police Brutality in American and if it correlates with racial profiling.

Many People think of racial profiling as relatively recent phenomena that manifested in the 1980s, as the news of Blacks being pulled over for “driving while black” began making national headlines. Racial Profiling is a new term for action against black people that, dates back 300 years and is a not relatively recent manifestation of discriminatory conduct by police and the criminal justice system which dates back to the 1700s in the United States for people of African descent.

The racial profiling still exist in this world today some may say "ohh racism has nothing to do with it " now I some cases I'd agree ,but in these days people are always recording and there is the proof that some are racial . Black people are labeled as thug or drug user ,but polls determine that white people are more likely to use drugs except crack .The racial profiling comes in here there are more whites using drug from fact, but more blacks are in jail the polls say 40% of blacks people are in jail for drugs ,but only 29% of white people are in jail .

Have may have been a victim of racial profiling. By definition racial profiling “the consideration of race when developing a profile of suspected criminals; by extension a form of racism involving police focus on people of certain racial groups when seeking suspected criminals”. We all laugh when the old lady in the movie is asked to describe the burglar and her response is “He was black” only to find out her grandson was the criminal. However, for the people suffering this you ever been consider a suspect of a crime because you “fit the profile of the perpetrator”? If so, you possibly injustice in real life every day, it is no laughing matter. There is no fun in being followed around a department store expected to shoplift simply because I am black. Nor, do I find the humor in having to explain to my son to make sure he does not behave in a certain manner when he goes to certain places so he won’t be seen as a threat unintentionally. Racial profiling is no fun. It degrades the person profiled and should make the person doing the profiling feel low. It affects numerous Americans in daily situations where others have the luxury of not thinking about it. Considering we all

I do not believe society should criminalize insulting and abusive speech. Not because I think it is ok, just reading the epithets on page 34 of the text made my skin crawl in disgust, but it is because it exposes a person's true nature. For example, I had a customer come into my work regularly, started to get to know him, and when he became more comfortable around me he started dropping racist jokes. Because of this, I no longer associated with him and called him out on it. If it was a criminal offense, the darkness that is in his heart may have never been exposed, which is still there regardless of whether it is muzzled or not.

On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always uphold the constitution, my community, and the agency I serve. Every police officer takes this same oath but do they actually uphold it? Many incidents have happened lately showing that police officers disregarded and disrespected the promise that they have made to the U.S. government and the U.S. citizens. Many aspects must be examine when looking into how to contain and control a problem like this such as a political standpoint such as The Texas Bill of Rights and federalism, the cultural and social issues, and what a government can actually do to solve

Many people may think that this issue is overstated and receives too much publicity, where nearly everyone else agrees that this incident is genuine. Issues that fall under the category of racial profiling, especially with blacks needs to be shined in the media daily. Racism regarding black has been going on for years. The fact that there are innocent people involved and being killed over poor judgement is even more ridiculous. Being an officer should not justify ones action. These are innocent peoples’ lives being taken; the public needs to be aware of the things that are going on around them. With the way things are today, there is no telling whose next. This issue is something that touches the hearts of the black community. Blacks have
