Examples Of Racial Profiling

Racial Profiling Hands up. Don’t shoot. The image of black men and women repeating the simple action at protest in Ferguson, Missouri and across the globe—generates its power from what happens before that moment. In Ferguson and too many places, police are more likely to pull over people of color for driving-indeed, often for simply being a person of color. But there is lasting power in the stories people never forget. They are stories of ‘broken’ taillights, police brutality that doesn’t show up in an arrest report because there never was one, of no justice because nobody knew where to turn. To help reach beyond Ferguson, the opinion department of Guardian US and the St Louis Post-Dispatch partnered to gather hundreds of reader experiences.
