"Profiling is an ineffective law enforcement practice. It is detrimental to public safety and is antithetical to the constitutional right to equal protection under law."

"There are more African Americans now in prison under criminal supervision, prison, jail, probation, parole than all the slaves in 1850."

"I am also proud to be an original cosponsor of the End Racial Profiling Act which I think is clearly and sorely needed."

"We must put in place commonsense reforms that prohibit discriminatory profiling, demilitarize local law enforcement, redefine the standards for use of force by police, and establish accountability."
