Talk about shameless, the “End Racial Profiling Act” covers law enforcement, meaning it has nothing to do with George Zimmerman.

Democrats in Congress hope the Travyon Martin tragedy can help them accomplish something they have worked on for years to no avail: an end to racial profiling.

“Trayvon is one of too many individuals across the country who have been victimized by a perception of criminality simply because of their race, ethnicity, religion or national origin. These individuals are denied the basic respect and equal treatment that is the right of every American,” says Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., who is sponsoring the End Racial Profiling Act.

Congress is using the lessons of the Martin case to push for legislation that would make it illegal for law enforcement agencies to profile individuals as criminals on a basis of the skin color or religious practice. Law enforcement agencies that rely on federal government funding would be required to show they did not use racial profiling in their agency.

Conyers introduced the End Racial Profiling Act Tuesday alongside longtime supporter Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., who is sponsoring the Senate version of the bill.

Aside from banning racial profiling, the bill seeks to strengthen law enforcement training to ensure officers are basing their patrols and apprehensions based on behavior not skin color.

But Martin, 17, was not killed by a law enforcement agent, rather he was shot by night watchman George Zimmerman who said he was forced to use his gun in self defense. Zimmerman was charged with Martin’s death, but after a lengthy trial, the jury found him not guilty.
