meeting the citizen has the right to speak out in give their
opinion on police racial profiling. In this meeting it was said
that there was racial profiling on African Americans. It was also

man being pulled over twice by police because of the color of his
skin. Rossano V. Gerald was going on a road trip with his son
when thirty minutes into their trip they were pulled over twice
by police officers from different station. Gerald believes the

by police because of nationality. This article was published in

behind police force against black. In the
article, Joscha Legewie states that the use
of police violence during stops and against
African Americans is because of the several
shootings between officers and Blacks and

where racial profiling plays a role, because
police officers are profiling every African
American because of the officers being
killed by African Americans.
