Associated Press: Holder Announces Plan To Target Racial Profiling

We are dealing with concerns that are truly national in scope and that threaten the entire nation ... In the coming days, I will announce the updated Justice Department guidance regarding profiling by federal law enforcement. This will institute rigorous new standards and robust safeguards to help end racial profiling once and for all ... Our police officers cannot be and cannot be seen as a occupying force disconnected to the communities that they serve."
