Racial Profiling Comes to Minnesota

clipper's alma mater toes the PC line!

" It’s a big problem. So what did the Minneapolis Star-Tribune headline today? “Crime alerts raise concern of racial profiling at U.” You see, most of the predators who rob, rape and assault students at the University of Minnesota are African-American:

The concerns about the impact on the university’s black community continued to echo Friday, after the university issued another crime alert about a female student who was robbed at gunpoint near campus Wednesday morning. The suspect in that case was identified as a black man in his early 20s.

President Eric Kaler said Friday that while officials are being vigilant about safety concerns, “the University of Minnesota will not tolerate racial profiling … period.”

So what does that mean, exactly? Are policemen supposed to look for suspects who fit the description of the perpetrator, or not? The Black Student Union sent a letter to administrators with suggestions as to how “profiling” might be avoided:

Among other things, the letter called on the university to stop including the race of suspects in crime alerts, and to post the university’s policy against racial profiling on all future alerts."

Henceforth, after the next sexual assault on campus, police must include octagenarian, wheel-chair bound ladies at the Daughters of Norway Home in their search ... period.
