Trump says he is open to racial profiling
Republican White House candidate Donald Trump has said the U.S. should consider more racial profiling in law enforcement, after last week’s mass shooting in Florida. Trump wants to use ethnicity, race, and religion to determine whether or not a person is likely to commit a crime before they have a chance to do so.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Mr. Trump accused The Post of “incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting” and deemed it “phony and dishonest”, although he has granted frequent interviews to the paper’s editors and reporters in the past.
But you’ve gotta expect this kind of thing from Trump by now.
This follows Trump’s gloating after the Orlando shooting, which involved self-congratulations for discriminating against Muslims, even though the shooter wasn’t religious and had a slew of other reasons why he may have committed the tragic murders.
But Katz, who confers with foreign counterparts, said “profiling” on the basis of ethnicity was a de facto USA practice.
While adding that “I hate the concept of profiling”, Trump said that “we have to start using common sense and we have to use, you know, we have to use our heads”. “I mean, they’re going to have a lot of say in what happens here”, said Temple. “Other countries do it: You look at Israel and you look at others, and they do it and they do it successfully”.
“I don’t think you should have firearms where people are drinking”, said NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre on “Face the Nation”. “We start pretty much after the convention, during and after”.
Merkley, who had previously endorsed Bernie Sanders, told Democrats that they need to unite behind Hillary Clinton in order to defeat Donald Trump in November.
Several members of the Republican party have asked Donald Trump to tone down his controversial comments, however, he has no intention of doing so. They say they’re looking to unite forces for changes such as a $15 federal minimum wage, better police accountability, health care for all and preventing climate change. Trump has repeatedly targeted Muslims in his bid to become president, calling for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S.in the wake of the San Bernadino shootings last December that killed 14. The group assembled databases on where Muslims lived, shopped, worked and prayed, infiltrated Muslim student groups, put informants in mosques and monitored sermons, the Associated Press reported in 2011. In January of this year, there were two lawsuits settled which stemmed from this surveillance being an invasion of privacy.
About 51 percent of those surveyed expected Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 presidential election, but only 35 percent of the voters thought so about Trump.
African-Americans, Latinos, Muslims and other minorities in the United States have complained bitterly for decades about the practice in which police use a person’s race, religion, national origin or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting them of committing a crime.
