In yesterday's "Daily News," I read an artcile that reminded me that racial profiling is still an issue that's alive and well. The article, "Cops: We were told to profile," discusses how an order was given to stop and immediately frisk all black men that came through the robbery-plagued Brooklyn subway station. Captain Michael Vanchieri, commander of Brooklyn Transit District 30, told his officers to stop and frisk all black men becuase the descriptions of the suspects "vaired a lot." Ironically enough, NYPD is "supposedly" the only major police department in the country that has banned profiling. This article recieved little to minimal coverage and I feel its pretty significant news. The article was placed directly above a loose dentures and viagra ad. Let me know if you guys saw the article and your opinions on it.
