RACIAL PROFILING AN AMERICAN DELIMMA

MISTRUST AND CORRUPTION BY LAW ENFORCEMENT

Dispite a steady decline in the crime rate in most communities across the country, the largest instance of mistrust and tension is police use of racial profiling. Law enforcement officers should not practice nor endorse any form of harassment, stereotyping, acts of domestic terrorism, under the color of law or any other offense based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. Civil rights must not be violated in order for effective productive policing. Settlements and trials whether civil or criminal result in the continuation of a lack of public trust. It is a burden on all society redirecting funding to cover court cost, attorney fees, and settlements plus the additional cost occurring on verdicts, appeals and final judgements.
It should not matter where the racial profiling is occurring if it Austin or Houston or in small places like Bellaire or Sunset Village it effects business transactions and lead to an air of prejudice of small communities. Law enforcement should not be able to hide behind their unions, the ACLU, NAACP, LULAC, or any other group in cases of racial profiling. Money of political friends to cover up criminal actions is not justice nor due process, it benefit no one in the community and keep qualified minorities from appling for jobs in such communities.
There are times for settlements of various cases but at a time when more than the victim is effected on the outcome of a cause then federal courts need to decide the constitutionality of the complaint. Law enforcement need should not be taken for granted, nor should a bunch of lawyers control their every move. Peace must be kept and order is essential for any community to prosper. no one should have to fear law enforcement if they are being lawful whether out for a stroll or looking for a job or a place to live neither should the permission of the police have to be sought to a walk in any community.The constitution has a due process of law clause everytime racial profiling violate it.The constitution has a clause of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which means anyone can live, visit and work anywhere he has access to. Racial profiling deny access under the color of law.
