Delaware officials are calling for an investigation into allegations of racial profiling after Georgia deputies conducted a drug search of a bus transporting female student-athletes at a historically Black university.

that the deputies followed protocol and that there was probable cause for the luggage search due to an alert from the K9.

"Believe it or not, the majority of the drugs and large amounts of money, trafficking children, trafficking anything up and down these interstates, that's what we look for," the deputy can be heard telling the student-athletes on the bus."We're not saying that it's even happening here. But however, this is how we start an investigation."

The university's president said the school has contacted Delaware officials, including the governor and attorney general, and is"exploring options for recourse -- legal and otherwise." He further called for an investigation following the release of the body-camera footage and pushed back against statements from the sheriff's office, including the claim that no personal items were searched. Bowman later clarified that while the front luggage area was checked, no players were searched.

Yeah because Blacks haven't historically been known to sell drugs,Or historically commit more crimes than the rest of the population THATS JUST HORRIBLE good work guys Make America Safe Again

Those cops need to be held accountable. If the bus was pulled over for a traffic violation give the driver a ticket, no reason to start searching those ladies

Literally only in America would a lacrosse team get stopped and drug searched lmao

I wonder how many stops they do just to keep their dog(s) engaged and not because they have any suspicion of anything.

An IMMEDIATE investigation is required!

Ga. officials say DSU traffic stop was legal after team alleges racial profilingAuthorities in Georgia responded to allegations of racial profiling during a traffic stop involving the Delaware State University women's lacrosse team. Nobody said the stop wasn’t legal. It’s what they did after the stop that was egregious. Even if it was all legal. I think the local sheriff is a bozo and this search was profiling !!

Video Contradicts Ga. Sheriff on Alleged Racial Profiling of Del. University Lacrosse TeamBody camera footage shows Georgia deputies searching through the personal items of the Delaware State University lacrosse team, contradicting statements from their sheriff. Delaware’s Attorney General is calling for a federal investigation amid allegations of racial profiling. The GA police couldn’t have just spoken 2 the bus driver abt which lane he needed 2 be in? Why the assumption drugs would be found? Were the personal belongings of the people in any of the other vehicles pulled over also searched or do the GA police only search school girls? We all know a bus full of black people has to have at least one individual with drugs or paraphernalia /sarcasm LEO looks forward to acquisition of monies or property via civil asset forfeiture. One more reason that marijuana needs to be legal nationwide.
