[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] Texas University Dean: I Was Stopped For “Walking While Black” [QUOTE]Dorothy Bland, the Dean of the University of Texas Mayborn School of Journalism, claims she was racially profiled recently in her own neighborhood during her morning walk. Bland says it happened last Saturday and she penned an opinion piece about the experience in the Dallas Morning News saying she was stopped for “Walking While Black.” Dash camera video provided by the Corinth Police Department shows Bland walking in the middle of the street before being stopped by two officers. Corinth officials say she was stopped after a driver had to go around her on the street to avoid hitting her all in front of the officers. During the stop, one of the officers is heard telling Bland, “You’re impeding traffic for one, and two it’s a safety issue we don’t want you to get hit.” She is then asked for her identification, which she took exception to saying in the video, “I’m so amazed I get stopped for walking. Do you know how many times I walk this street?” Despite her claims and public support for it on social media, the Corinth Police Chief Debra Walthall says there is no evidence to support Bland’s accusation that the stop was racially motivated. Chief Walthall responded to that saying, “What I see are two professional police officers doing their job.” Dean Bland refused an on-camera interview, but did say in a phone conversation she is ready to get over the experience and she is refocusing her attention on her job. Corinth officials say at this point there is no need for a further investigation. [/QUOTE] http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/10/29/woman-says-she-was-stopped-for-walking-while-black/ [/QB][/QUOTE]
