I agree with Chief Johnson.

Her remarks were taken out of context, and twisted to serve the needs of attention junkies.

Racial profiling will not make our city streets safer. It is just a misuse police power. Ms. Johnson has lost respect & should resign.

u agree with at he s? you should be in the line of fire right with her! She hadesd years of work that people in EPA have been doing to change the mindset of teens toward policemen. Not to mention that comment really hurt. I mean come on, everyone know they do racial profiling in Palo Alto-but to say it outloud as if thats her right?! how incredulous of her.

Doesn't matter if she's gay or straight.

Her directions were correct under the laws for probable cause.

Do some reading and learning before you "share".

I know Chief Johnson personally and dont agree with her comments and niether does she for that matter, nevertheless she said them. This problem is much bigger than her comments and has to be addressed with all parties coming to the table and leaving their predujice and racist perspectives at the door if you can, whether your Black, White, Latino, Asian whatever. as a young black man raising a family we must be solution driven as oppose to problem consumed. Peace People Peace, your EPA Community Leader!
