This website goes in depth on the issue of racial profiling. It even has links to court cases, press releases, and much more.

This website give an overview of what racial profiling is and the history of it. It also explains how it has a negative outlook for law enforcement and the communities they serve. It explains who can be racially profiled and how they are targeted.

I do like the links this website has. Its very informative and gives good resources. This issue is a important on that ker2165548 is right, no one wants to deal with.

This article touches on the topic of racial profiling, specifically against Muslim men and Latinos in America. With a country as diverse as ours racial profiling hurts a large portion of our citizens and now officials are working to make it a less common occurrance.

This article gives us a clear and brief definition of racial discrimination found in daily treatment towards each other. Stereotyping, racial profiling, prejudice and overt bias and some other subtle forms of racial inequality are often considered as racially distinguishing. From a small comment such as " it is because they are from.." to isolating a non-American person can have a big impact on that person's life.

Police are supposed to respect all human rights but this talks about the police doing some racial profiling. People want to pass an act called the End racial Profiling Act.

This article goes over the recent pardon of Arpaio and how it risks future racial profiling and violation of rights for citizens. Arpaio demonstrated harsh practices like keeping inmates outside in scorching summers, and working in chain gangs. He has already been in contempt of court for racial profiling and violating citizens' Fourth Amendment rights.

I'm not sure this Arpaio pardon will encourage others to racial profile for immigration purposes. Arpaio was the lead candidate for this kind of behavior and I'm not sure others are rushing to follow his footsteps .

Talks about how terrorism promotes racial segregation. And how it is effecting people

This article talks about how trump pardoned arpio. Arpio was being held in regards to him and his team detaining people based on their suspicion that those people were in the country illegally. It also talks about how arpio wants to run for office again

This article can be taken many different ways. Arpio being pardoned is not something that is for the better of this state and as a country. Everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions, and when people are being let off so easily just as Arpio is, it is not fair for the rest of us.

As the article stated, not much can be done now that Joe Arpaio has been pardoned. I do believe, however, that this dismissal ought to unify Arizona residents in the fight against racial profiling. Whether a victim of Arpaio's practices or not, he committed an unethical crime and is not only being "forgiven," but given the opportunity for a fresh start which does not follow the American justice system.

The Immigration law was placed to protect us which means they need to check immigration status. Understandably, we live where 30% of our population is Hispanic.

Since 2007, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has accused Sheriff Joe of detaining Latinos unlawfully, in which he would regularly perform 'sweeps' in Hispanic neighborhoods. Since then, Sheriff Joe has ignored a court order for reported racial profiling and criminal contempt charges could be issued if prosecutors are willing.

First of all, I can't believe that he is 84 now. I didn't know that. More importantly, I've never liked our sheriff and have heard a ton of nothing but bad things about him and especially his actions of being racist. This doesn't at all surprise me but I really doubt that he will be convicted. I guess we will see though! Thanks for sharing!!!

This site directly tackles the topic of racial profiling by the police department. It discusses the lack of knowledge and understanding which can cause uncertainty on both the parts of the police officers and persons of different ethnic backgrounds. The website tackles ways to develop a more positive relationship between police and the communities they oversee.

This article explains the law of law enforcement requiring proof of identification from those who are or may be suspects of illegal immigration. Critics say and believe that it is a form of racial profiling.

In 1970 hispanics made up 17% of Arizona residents, now they make up more than 30%. Being that is percentage dramatically increased, Senator Russell Pearce campaigned on strictor immigration policies. Which then lead to Republican Govenor Jan Brewer to sign SB1070 , that basically fosters a culture for racial profiling, but others say its necessary to crack down on illegal immigrants in the United States.

The state that brought you the chain-gang enforcing Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, the "show me your papers" immigration law, and racial profiling is proud to present its latest hit: a law prohibiting sex and raced-based abortion, based on lies and stereotypes about black and Asian women. The woman and doctor must also sign an affidavit stating the reason the woman wants an abortion has nothing to do with the race or sex of the embryo or fetus.

Wow, I honestly had no idea this was going on. The law prohibits abortions based on the sex or race of the fetus or embryo, This is an extreme injustice! I can't believe we still face this kind of inequality.

Minorities have a lower approval rating of law enforcement than non-minorities, as minorities feel they are often singled out. The understanding and acceptance of the minority experience is tantamount to improving relations between law enforcement and the public they serve. It is interesting to note that race is only one of several factors to consider in how law enforcement is viewed by a particular community.
