SSG(P) James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" - Thank you! I think the community does a good job of policing content and calling it out when they see it. It is rare when it happens on RP.

Thank you PO1 William "Chip" Nagel You’re appreciated.

3.) Racial Profiling: Past, Present, and Future?

“The beginning of 2019 marked 22 years since the introduction of the first piece of proposed legislation on racial profiling: the Traffic Stops Statistics Act of 1997, H.R. 118. Passed unanimously by the US House of Representatives in March 1998, this bill constituted the first attempt by any legislative body to come to grips with what had become known as “racial profiling”: the police practice of stopping black and brown drivers in disproportionate numbers for traffic infractions, in attempts to investigate other crimes for which the police had no evidence.

The tactic, used to target drug interdiction evidence on highways and interstates across the country, had existed for years. But it had come to wider public knowledge in the early and middle 1990s with the filings of legal actions against the New Jersey and Maryland state police forces. With passage of the bill in the House, law enforcement organizations, which had previously taken no notice of the bill, announced their opposition.

With the onset of the Clinton impeachment proceedings, the bill never advanced in the Senate, and did not pass. But the Act had a wider effect: Multiple states passed anti–racial profiling legislation over the next several years, and a more comprehensive bill—the End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA)—was introduced in every successive Congress over the decade. In the arena of public discussion, the first bill’s passage by the House changed the debate, bringing the issue of racial profiling front and center for the first time. It surfaced in the 2000 presidential election debates, and even in the first speech to the Congress given by President George W. Bush, in which he vowed that his administration would end the practice once and for all.”

September 29, 2020

“The public deserves to see the truth reflected in this finally unredacted report,” said Chairman Raskin.  “The FBI saw long ago the multiple potential dangers associated with violent white supremacy and its efforts to infiltrate local law enforcement with ideas, attitudes, and personnel.  Unfortunately, the FBI’s recent refusal to acknowledge and combat this threat under the Trump Administration—just like its refusal to appear today—constitutes a serious dereliction of duty.”
