California's first-in-the-nation attempt to track racial profiling complaints against police produced numbers so unrealistically small that the board overseeing the tally wants departments to make changes to encourage more people to come forward.
California's first-in-the-nation attempt to track racial profiling complaints against police produced numbers so unrealistically small that the board overseeing the tally wants departments to make changes to encourage more people to come forward.
Andrea Guerrero, executive director of the advocacy group Alliance San Diego, doesn't believe the numbers and thinks it might be the result of police protecting their own.Her co-chair, Kings County Sheriff David Robinson, disputed that. He said the numbers reflect the reality that it's"so rare and far between that someone is racist."
There should be follow-ups so complainants don't feel they're being ignored, Guerrero said, and civilian oversight panels with"teeth in them" should oversee complaint investigations. "There's no way," Obayashi said."People who see this report are going to say, 'They're covering this up.'" "There are some that may have, or had, a perception that there are more racial or identity profiles being made, but the data that we have doesn't bear that out," Swing said.
Betty Williams, president of the NAACP branch in Sacramento, said racial profiling is"undersold and underreported in such a shameless fashion."
