National Gestapo police union calls on Trump to reverse the ‘ban on racial profiling’…

[Undefeatable]

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes along with this and drops the ban. Smh.

At least he met with Kanye tho.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

what about black cops

 

[texas409]

so cops want to be German Nazis now?

 

[not_osirus_jenkins]

Waiting to see what rises from the ashes..

 

[NoCompetition]

I think you have two camps. The ones who realized the possible ramifications going in and their place in it, so did their part when it was time and are now on to the next things. And then those who thought it was more important to watch reruns than to help select the course of the country going forward. Reruns were more important. The first camp are the doers and none of this type thing is news. The second camp is behind the curve and just now learning and has a lot to still learn.

The official document released by the Police Union (bolded the racial profiling part)

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: The First 100 Days

Potential Actions Through Executive Order or Action

 Pledged to rescind Executive Order 13688 which imposed limits on State and local law

enforcement equipment programs throughout the Federal government

 Impose a restriction on some or all Federal aid and grant programs to “sanctuary cities”

 Local and State governments who are “sanctuary cities” and those who may have granted

documents (like drivers’ licenses or other photographic identifications) which have

names and addresses of persons unlawfully present in the U.S. may purge these databases

so that they cannot be shared with the Federal government or law enforcement

 End the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and, using the Federal database

to identify those in the U.S. unlawfully, initiate their deportation

 End access to the U.S. from “terrorist-prone” areas where there is little confidence in the

ability of immigration officials to conduct full vettings

 End the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) at the Bureau of U.S. Immigration and

Customs Enforcement (ICE), potentially restoring Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) or

a re-prioritization of the Federal approach to immigration enforcement

 Expansion of the 287(g) program

 Could reverse the change in U.S.-Cuba relations, perhaps until such time as the copkillers

harbored there are returned to the U.S.

 De-prioritize implementation of some or all of the recommendations made by the

President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing

 Issue new directives to U.S. Attorneys to prioritize violent crimes and to seek the death

penalty in Federal cases involving the murder of a law enforcement officer

 Direct Federal law enforcement agencies to not pursue violations of Federal drug laws

even in States which have passed legislation legalizing the use, manufacture and

possession of marijuana

 Direct Federal agencies to support research into medical marijuana

 Reverse the position of the Federal government on the use of private prisons

 Reverse the Executive Orders with respect to background checks for firearms purchases,

authority of the Social Security Administration to provide information on the mental

health of its beneficiaries, funding and directed research for “gun safety” technology

 Reverse or amend the broad, Bush-era ban on racial profiling by all or some Federal

agencies

Potential Legislative Initiatives

 Legislation entitled the “End Illegal Immigration Act,” to establish a 2-year mandatory

minimum Federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous

deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with

felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations;

also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying

 Legislation entitled the “Restoring Community Safety Act” to establish a task force on

violent crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist State and local law

enforcement

 Legislation to repeal, and possibly replace, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care

Act (ObamaCare) which may end the impending “Cadillac tax” that is slated to take

effect in 2018

FOP: Anti-Racial Profiling Act Offensive To Police

02/24/2016 -Labor News

WASHINGTON, DC –– Senators heard contentious testimony on the state of racial profiling in America, the first such hearings since Sept. 11, 2001.

A state legislative committee in Alabama approved revisions to parts of its controversial immigration law on Tuesday.

One of those revisions expands the circumstances in which a police officer can check the status of an individual he suspects to be an illegal alien. Now, a police officer involved in a traffic stop can ask the passengers in an automobile about their immigration status.

The change sparked debate among lawmakers, some of whom brought up the issue of racial profiling in their arguments.

"My wife should not have to be checked because I receive a ticket," said democratic Rep. Napoleon Bracy.

Known as HB56, the law makes it a crime to be in the state illegally, and limits the state from entering into contracts with an illegal alien, complicating such mundane tasks as renewing a car tag.

A House committee relaxed other provisions in the law, including one that made it a crime for people to aid an illegal immigrant – including churches.

The law is considered one of the toughest in the country, and engendered outrage by citizens and privacy rights advocates, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

The state was sued by the U.S. Justice Department and various other organizations and individuals. Some parts of the law – including provisions that required immigrants to carry documentation – have been prevented from taking effect.

The hearing happened just days after an affidavit from the Florida State Attorney's Office stated that 17–year–old Trayvon Martin was "profiled" by 28–year–old George Zimmerman before the neighborhood watch captain killed him.

Martin's death, Arizona's controversial immigration law (Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act–SB 1070) and the practice of profiling people of Middle Eastern descent were all discussed before an overflowing chamber.

"Trayvon was murdered by someone who thought he looked suspicious," said Rep. Frederica Wilson, D–FL. "It is a sad reality that we have to teach boys [about racial profiling] just to survive in their own communities."

East Palo Alto, CA, Chief of Police Ronald Davis echoed Wilson.

"Even though I'm a police chief with more than 27 years of experience, I know that when I teach my son how to drive, I will have to teach him what to do when he gets stopped by the police," he said.

Davis, who has worked as a law enforcement officer in East Palo Alto and Oakland, CA, also testified more than 10 years ago at the last Senate Judiciary Committee on racial profiling.

Testimony addressed the End Racial Profiling Act of 2011, which would prohibit law enforcement agencies from using racial profiling in their investigations. It would also put into motion programs to eliminate current profiling efforts across the country.

However, Officer Frank Gale, the second vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, told senators that the act would hurt relations between police and minorities more than it helps, and it defined racial profiling in terms that were "too broad."

"It is clear that racism is morally and ethically wrong," said Officer Frank Gale, the second vice president of the national Fraternal Order of Police. "[But] this bill provides an answer to a problem that doesn't exist, unless you believe that law enforcement is patently racist."

He said the bill was "offensive" to members of the Fraternal Order of Police, the nation's largest law enforcement labor organization, because it assumed that a person was "a racist because of the color his uniform."

Davis later countered Gale's statements, telling the hearing that the bill was not offensive but was rather a way of ensuring that being a police officer didn't make an individual "exempt from the Constitution or exempt from accountability."

He also said that as a law enforcement officer and as a black man, he's seen racial profiling from both sides. As an officer, he told Senators of profiling white people in an area of Oakland, as the majority of people who purchased drugs in the area were white.

The practice was ineffective. He said criminal profiling by staying attentive for signs of a drug deal were more effective than profiling based on race.

President of the conservative Center for Equal Opportunity Roger Clegg called profiling "problematic," but shocked onlookers as he continued his testimony.

"While I am no fan of racial profiling I think we have to recognize that it's going to be tempting for the police if there is a disproportionate amount of crime committed by African Americans," he said, claiming that the issue lies in the number of black children who are born out of wedlock.

He also advocated for monitoring Muslim groups in the interest of national security, although he conceded that the issue of racial profiling is complicated and multifaceted.

A letter to Graham and Sen. Richard Durbin, chairman of the subcommittee, touched on this issue in particular.

On behalf of 35 national organizations, including the religious freedom group the Interfaith Alliance, the NAACP and the Islamic Society of North America, the letter criticized religious profiling "which may sometimes also be used as a proxy for race, ethnicity or national origin."

"We appreciate that most law enforcement officials discharge their duties honorably," the letter said. However, practices that target a specific religions group "not only have the effect of discriminating against religion generally and religious minorities in particular, but also fuel divisiveness by casting suspicion over an entire religious community."

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a ranking member on the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, seemed inclined to agree with Clegg, although he also noted that the issue was problematic.

"How do you fight homegrown terrorism without fighting a particular faith?" he asked. "I hope we will not get so sensitive to this issue that we will unilaterally disarm [the U.S.]."

Clegg told senators the occurrence of racial profiling was over exaggerated by the media and activists, a point which Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) countered.

"The data we have already shows us there's a problem," he said, citing statistics from the New York ACLU division of drivers pulled over in New York between 2002 and 2011. About 88 percent of those pulled over were found innocent of any wrongdoing, but black and Latino residents made up a whopping 87 percent of those stopped.

"Let's collect more data and let's make some remedies," he said.

The End Racial Profiling Act of 2011 was introduced by Sen. Benjamin Cardin, D–MD, on Oct. 6, 2011.

Inb4

But how will this be any worse for Black people ?

 

[blackamerica]

"But what's wrong with meeting with the president?"

"How is Kanye a coon by meeting with the president"

"Trump is the president, nothing wrong with this. Black ppl are just overreacting"

"It's a chess move"

Meantime this nigga Trump is about to legalize racial profiling and have even MORE niggaz killed by cops. This is straight out the white supremacist playbook

 

[ghostdog56]

So we gonna act like we ain't already getting racially profiled

 

[Copper]

I don't think kanye, Jim brown and Ray Lewis blow job session worked guys

 

[babelipsss]

I doubt racial profiling ever ended.

Why is Kanye a part of this? He's a performer, not a policy maker.

 

[Trillfate]

Next headline: Trump to re-legalize slavery

 

[Mr.LV]

Next headline: Trump to re-legalize slavery

But Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the same.

 

[Copper]

I doubt racial profiling ever ended.

Why is Kanye a part of this? He's a performer, not a policy maker.

And no one thinks kanye made the policy to racial profile

 

[7figz]

I doubt racial profiling ever ended.

Why is Kanye a part of this? He's a performer, not a policy maker.

And no one thinks kanye made the policy to racial profile

Apparently he was there to negotiate an exclusion for blond-haired Black folk.

 

[313 wayz]

They really trying to increase black folk in the school to prison pipeline by knocking down racial profiling....I already know there will not be any police / prison reform during Trump's administration

 

[D. Morgan]

So in other words the police going to continue to do what they've been doing.

Legal or illegal the police on all levels still racially profiled black people regardless of it being illegal.

I just can't get up in arms about some shit thats BEEN going on just because now they MIGHT get to do it without getting a finger waved in their face to the public telling the police they're wrong but behind closed doors they're told great job.

Racial profiling is as wrong as 2 left shoes but even when it was made illegal they kept doing it and everybody knew it.

So why should I act like this some new shit Trump and his folks is introducing and be all up in arms about it?

I got more important shit to deal with.

 

[5th Letter]

Black people are getting racially profiled now. While there was supposedly an anti racial profiling law. So remind me again what in the fuck is the difference?

 

[Ajackson17]

So ya'll are going to work together or nah?
