Benjamin Todd Jealous Zitate

Racial profiling punishes innocent individuals for the past actions of those who look and sound like them.

Rassenprofilierung bestraft Unschuldige für die Handlungen derer, die wie sie aussehen und sich anhören. Dadurch werden wichtige Ressourcen fehlgeleitet und das notwendige Vertrauen zwischen den Strafverfolgungsbehörden und den von ihnen betreuten Gemeinschaften untergraben. Es hat keinen Platz in unserem nationalen Diskurs und keinen Platz in den Polizeibehörden unserer Nation.

Well, I think the American people have to understand that the Mexican government is committed, in a very substantial way, to eradicating the effect of the impact of the cartels on Mexico.

Those of us in law enforcement must redouble our efforts to resist bias and prejudice. We must better understand the people we serve and protect - by trying to know, deep in our gut, what it feels like to be a law-abiding young black man walking on the street and encountering law enforcement. We must understand how that young man may see us.
