Media Coverage of Police in Racial Profiling Incidents

Racial profiling is one of the most important issues currently facing law enforcement. While this is not a new issue, there have been accusations of it throughout the country, and it probably is the single law enforcement issue that has received the most media coverage and citizen involvement during the last two years. There has been much media coverage about police officers stopping people because of race, ethnicity, or culture.

In a 2-page paper please discuss whether you believe that racial profiling exists. Provide examples to support your thoughts and support them with academic sources. Use at least two sources.
