Eric Holder to release new racial profiling guidance
CBS News ^ | 12/08/2014 | Paula Reid

Posted on 12/08/2014 7:04:00 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Attorney General Eric Holder will announce the Justice Department's release of its long-awaited revised racial profiling guidance for federal law enforcement on Monday.

In 2003, the Justice Department issued its first racial profiling guidance under former Attorney General John Ashcroft. That guidance banned profiling based on race and ethnicity, but granted exceptions for national security and border protection. Civil rights groups considered the exceptions a kind of permission to discriminate especially against Muslims in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The newly revised guidance will expand the characteristics it protects -- beyond race and ethnicity -- to include bans on profiling on the basis of gender, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and general identity. The guidance applies to federal law enforcement officers and also to state and local officers involved in federal law enforcement tasks. But the new guidance does continue to allow certain exceptions for the Department of Homeland Security.

If you’re black, we got your back, and that for sure, is a matter of fact. No more prosecutions until the prison rate mirrors that of the racial make up of the country. And in further news...............

Racial Profiling

Rule #1 Do not take into account the race of the criminal. Just arrest the perpetrator and throw his butt in jail.

Where in the laws under which DOJ exists do they have authority to dictate how a local police department must operate?? (I speak from a lack of knowledge - but am curious)

Every black arrested will now claim he was profiled. (I’m sure many already make that claim)

Whether or not they want to admit it, stereotypes are based in fact. I’ll avoid a white guy with neck tattoos just as much as other racial profiles.

None of these rules apply if you are a Tea Party member, a Christian, or a Conservative

I think he’s already in a resigned state.

Without reading his new “guidelines” allow me to interpret
them:

When at ALL possible, ticket, arrest, charge and prosecute white people. When at ALL possible, do NOT ticket, arrest, charge or prosecute any NON-WHITE people.”

Sound about right??

Eric Holder releases a guide to tell if someone is a racist based on their skin color.

Consider that more and more large departments are being placed under a consent decree...placing the DOJ over them. It is imperative that the DOJ find widespread problems...eventually...voila!! Local and state depts will be supervised by federal guidelines...officers will have to go to federal mandated training...etc...

I lived in a Marine town with tattoo shops on every corner. Not only are the artists respectful, I don’t know many Marines without a tattoo. Last night I found 2 books by a former FBI agent on body language profiling. That is what needs to be learned.

I want to know who is suffering from PTS or depression.

I was pretty specific about the tattoo location. I did not mean just any.
