"Speaking to CNN by phone, Murphy said she was trying to clear Whalen's name after she's come under attack by bloggers and in chat rooms, accused of racial profiling when she first called police."
So a statement of fact is now considered racial profiling (even though she didn't mention race). Bloggers have gone after this woman because they thought she identified the two men as black? From what I understand, it turns out that at least one was black.
Is that racial profiling?
Someone breaks into your house. The police officer is allowed to ask what they were wearing, how tall they were, possible age, but not whether they were white, black, hispanic, asian?
