Quote:Portland police will no longer maintain a database of suspected gang members, due to concerns that the vast majority of people with the gang label are racial minorities.
Starting Oct. 15, the Portland Police Bureau will end the 20-year practice of issuing gang member designations, which police say can lead to “unintended consequences” and a lifelong stigma even for those who have given up the gang lifestyle. Officials intend to notify the approximately 300 people on the gang list that the bureau will purge all records related to the designations, The Oregonian reported.
City officials and community activists had long urged the bureau to stop attaching the gang designation to criminal suspects, claiming the practice disproportionately impacted people of color.

It's called racial profiling and it's lazy police work.
To be added to the list they have to self-identify as a gang member, participate in gang initiation, commit a gang related crime, or display visibly signs of being in a gang. But you call all that lazy police work and racial profiling? Did you even read the article or are you just doing lazy message board work?
They are doing this because they realize that "being labeled a gang member can have a negative impact on someones life". Well you don't freaking say, maybe they shouldn't have gotten involved in negative activities that impact law abiding citizens lives and they wouldn't have to worry about it.
