In communities across the country, the police are fond of saying that racial profiling doesn't exist, and that people are making it up because of their hate for the police. I know I've been pulled over a time or two when I was younger, but those days seem to have passed at this juncture.

Well, when stuff hits the fan, it sometimes spreads over a large area, and in this case, it's not going to be pretty. Reading this from Stereohyped, it would seem that the highest-ranking black officer in the NYPD, Chief Douglas Zeigler, was pulled over without provocation. And, as it figures, they didn't know who he was when he asked. Needless to say, there are repercussions, because, for once, the officers can't lie and back each other up against a superior officer.

When people in the workplace complain of discrimination, often the majority believes people are just being overly sensitive. This proves that it does happen. It also indicates that, with greater equality in the hiring of minorities and having more of them in leadership positions, this type of thing may not happen as often as it does now.

At least we can hope.
