From a policing perspective, this is a very sensitive topic. For a police officer, there is no greater insult than to be labelled a racist. They want the community to understand they serve and protect irrespective of race, colour, creed, religion, age, sex and/or sexual orientation, etc. They do not dispute that there have been and continue to be examples of policing that has been driven by bias. They feel that they have been and continue to be tainted as a profession by these allegations, proven or otherwise.

"In an effort to bridge the gap between these two perspectives, we need to remember that every single person has pre-existing, implicit biases. That is, instantaneous judgements that we make about other people. This does not make you a racist; displaying these implicit biases through explicit actions, does. Learning to recognize, manage and understand our implicit biases can and should be a lifelong activity."

TRANSLATION: We can "profile" because everybody does it, so it's ok. You're just "antagonizing" if you think otherwise.
