Asian Man 'Randomly' Searched 21 Times

Monday, February 23, 2009

After having his bag searched 21 times on the New York subway, 32-year-old Jangir Sultan is suing the NYPD for racial profiling. What do you think?

Ryan Santiago,
Systems Analyst
"I think he has a case considering he only rode the subway twice."

Kelly Pfluger,
Social Worker
"Look, you either give up a few civil rights or you agree to live in a world where some guy tries to sell you a pirated copy of Body Of Lies."

Richard Tabora,
HR Specialist
"The NYPD probably just has a healthy curiosity about what Asian men carry in their bags."
