Mainstreet Radio’s Rob Schmitz reports the debate in Rochester over the police department's treatment of minorities.

In September 2003, researchers at the University of Minnesota Law School released a controversial study on traffic stops. It found law enforcement officers around the state were stopping and searching Black, Latino, and American Indian drivers at greater rates than white drivers. Some city's police departments that participated in the study have vowed to do tackle the issue. Others, like Rochester's police department, have responded by calling the study flawed, underscoring the debate in Rochester.
