profiling
The INDY also asked about roadblocks/checkpoints and potential racial profiling. Here are my thoughts on the matter:
If
checkpoints are being manipulated to racially profile drivers, then that is a
gross misuse of a tool which is a public good and such actions have no place in
my administration. Checkpoints are
instituted to keep people from hurting themselves and others, not as an
instrument of racial oppression or intimidation. I would welcome review of the department’s documentation
for checkpoints by organizations such as the ACLU because I am committed to
justice and transparency.

The other day, Jesse DeConto of the CHN posted a comment on the N&O Blog about a happening in Carrboro. It has drawn almost no response, for obvious reasons I guess.
