Members of a Georgia Sheriff’s Department are accused of racially profiling Delaware State University’s lacrosse team last month. tfurlong has video and speaks with the team's coach as well as a player who wrote about the incident:
“Their response was on this stretch of highway that a lot of buses like this are smuggling people and narcotics and that they have to be vigilant about checking,” Jenkins said. “To be clear, nothing illegal was discovered in this search, and all of our coaches and student-athletes comported themselves with dignity throughout a trying and humiliating process,” Allen wrote. “It went from two officers to six officers and they brought out their K-9,” Anderson told NBC10.
Most members of DSU’s Lacrosse team are African American. Jenkins and Anderson believe the incident was racially motivated. Allen, meanwhile, reached out to Delaware’s Governor, Congressional delegation, Attorney General, and Black Caucus. “They, like me, are incensed,” Allen wrote. “We have also reached out to Georgia Law Enforcement and are exploring options for recourse—legal and otherwise—available to our student-athletes, our coaches, and the University.” “That would be great. Yes. Yes. An apology,” she said. “And just some acknowledgement that this isn’t something our student athletes have to look forward to. This is not okay that that happened to us.
NBC10 reached out to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office on Monday. We were told that they would have a statement on the incident. We have not yet received one however. This article tagged under:
