Don't profile the police

I watch the news with great concern these days. It is not OK to persecute someone because they wear a hoodie or have low-hanging pants. It is also not OK to persecute someone because they wear a police uniform.

I watched police in front of City Hall being pelted with objects without any right to protect themselves ("Baltimore police union president likens protests to 'lynch mob,'" April 22). They were not wearing riot gear because it might look too military.
