Dear The Hour’s Editor,
I am writing to give knowledge to people about what is really Racial Profiling in Law Enforcement and make people care about this issue because apparently this is still present today. I’m Andrea Santos, a first year student from Norwalk Community College. I’m currently taking English 101. We have a project about social issues and this was the topic that gave me interest because I became so engaged and curious about what the issue is really about.
I am writing to you today because I know almost everyone knows what Racial Profiling is; however, are you not curious why is it still around? Maybe community members might have an opinion about it already that’s why they don’t care anymore. Although this issue should be addressed eventually because it is always put to the side. The unjust side of Racial Profiling is targeting someone solely based on his/her race. The majority of African-Americans, Latinos, Asians and Middle Easterners who are suffering from this practice are believed to be innocent. Thus, I believe Norwalk’s The Hour will be really helpful writing an article or headline about this topic.
According to some, Racial Profiling does not exist because why would Law Enforcements practice this? While others believe that it is visible. So, what do you think now? Racial Profiling in Law Enforcement does exist. This has been a continuous practice of the majority of Law Enforcements based on my research that contains factual evidence and reports. This can also be proven by statistical reports in a lot of states. Although, there are some circumstances that the practice of Racial Profiling may be justifiable. For example, using Racial Profiling to identify high profiled suspects can be one but if police stop and verbally or physically abuse someone solely based on his/her race, that is considered unjust. I believe people should be informed about this matter because it is still apparent today and so that people wouldn’t judge the ones that are suffering from this practice.
Certainly, I want the police to be aware that they are causing this but most importantly I believe they should stop profiling certain racial groups. Therefore, the whole community should know how to identify what is really Racial Profiling because they may see or experience a reasonable or unjust profiling from Law Enforcements anywhere.
I urge your readers to care and be well-informed about this issue to gradually stop the unjust side of Racial Profiling. Also, I urge your readers to bring awareness to Law Enforcements who are causing this, that they should be lawful to every citizen of this country.

Thank you for reading my letter! I hope I persuaded you to help me bring awareness and also write about the unjustifiable practice of Racial Profiling. I am looking forward hearing from you.
Sincerely,
