So, two Harvard University Police officers could lose their jobs and the Ivy League campus is all up in a lather over racism because the cops stopped a kid who looked like he was trying to steal a bicycle. In the end, he owned the bike - but he did have tools and was trying to cut through a lock when he was stopped by the police. The teen was African-American and an intern at the college. I don't care if he was white, Eskimo, Asian, Hispanic or a mix of the aforementioned. To the police it appeared that the suspect was about to further increase the statistics of bikes stolen on campus. Why is that racial profiling?
