LAPD Criticzed For Plans To Map Muslim Communities
The Los Angeles (CA) Daily Breeze reports that plans by the Los Angeles Police Department to create a map of Muslim communities in the city is being criticized. The police department says it is part of an effort to prevent radicalization. Police Chief William Bratton says police are trying to become more familiar with the Muslim communities. The city's ACLU executive director, Ramona Ripston, however, says: "Our fears is that this will profile an entire community rather than people who present a real danger."
