There have been many cases where law enforcement officers have profiled a gender (e.g., women) and sexual orientation (e.g, gay) without any justifiable reason. A crime was not committed yet the officer stopped and arrested the person on a crime that was not real ... only because the officer profiled the community.
The 17 examples in the article can give you an overview of how these injustices can occur.
Some people may think the officer has all the right in the world to stop someone because the officer has an affinity to arrest someone who does not meet his personal liking. Some people may think that not allowing the officer to do this is "nonsense" ... I think think that we can better use the officer in our community than that.
There are too many people who still have prejudices in this country in my opinion.
