A city in Michigan is considering making it a crime to 'racially profile people of color for participating in their lives'
The City Commission held a public hearing Tuesday on a proposed human rights ordinance that would make it a criminal misdemeanor to"racially profile people of color for participating in their lives," the city said in a statement.The charge could result in up to a $500 fine, according to CNN affiliate WOOD.
Grand Rapids experienced racially biased 911 calls first hand, according to the station, when a neighbor falsely reporting a shooting in the neighborhood and a 12-year-old girl was handcuffed as a result. But stories of police being called when people of color engage in fairly mundane activities have arisen all over the country.
