    To summarize the article “Racial Profiling is Morally Wrong and Based on False Assumptions”, by James A. Kowalski, he argues that racial profiling is by no means effective, or good. It solves no problems, and causes people to fear law enforcement. Racial profiling is when an individual is suspected of a crime by law enforcement because of their race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin. For example, “all blacks are gang members”. In addition to Kowalski’s arguments, he references the Zimmerman case from 2012 as an example of racial profiling gone wrong.

    As J. Ronald Oakley stated in his essay, "The Great Fear", "In one silly incident, a black bootblack in the Pentagon was interviewed seventy times by the FBI before it finally decided that he was not a security risk and should be allowed to continue shining shoes there. "(209, The Great Fear)The quote is pointing out that the FBI's overzealous investigation of this bootblack, even though he posed no security threat, illustrates how important principles such as freedom and justice can be disregarded in the name of protecting oneself and loved ones. This incident shows how the government's actions to protect itself, regardless of the principle of innocence until proven guilty, can harm individuals and society as a whole. This quote can be used to argue that it is important to be aware of the negative consequences of prioritizing personal safety and well-being over important principles and to strive for a balance between protecting oneself and standing up for what is right.
