Trump says fear of profiling inhibits US terrorism prevention
WASHINGTON _ Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Monday that the U.S. response to domestic terrorism is inhibited by police officers afraid they'll be accused of profiling.
"Our police are amazing. Our local police, they know who a lot of these people are. They're afraid to do anything about it because they don't want to be accused of profiling and they don't want to be accused of all sorts of things," Trump said in a Fox News phone interview.
"If somebody looks like he's got a massive bomb on his back we won't go up to that person and say, 'I'm sorry,' because if he looks like he comes from that part of the world we're not allowed to profile," Trump said. "Give me a break."
