Racial profiling


Arizona past a law allowing police officers to pull over anyone suspected of being an illegal alien. Shortly afterwards, I over heard several opinions discussed about the subject.
For example:
"If they have nothing to hide, then they shouldn't worry about it."
Well to those of you who feel the same way...let me ask you this?
What if you were on your way to work and you got pulled over and questioned because of the color of your skin,even though you were born and raised here?
And because of the delay, you were then late for work. Would it matter then?
All too often we tend to look the other way when an injustice is being committed, either because we don't care or because we are not the target. Wake up America,if we allow our neighbors to be stripped of their rights for whatever reason...how long will it be till they come after you?
