A woman was asking about some ammunition at a sporting goods store, and it ended up leading to a police investigation. Maybe there was something about her that scared them. Was it that she was a firearms instructor? Spoiler: no. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“An Indian-American woman said she was questioned by California police after she asked to buy some ammunition for her AR-15 rifle.
Sim Sangha, a 24-year-old firearms instructor from Fremont, asked an employee of Dick’s Sporting Goods about buying eight boxes of ammunition for her military-style rifle, reported KNTV-TV.
Two days later, police visited her home for questioning after that store employee alerted them.
“I don’t know if it’s my skin color or that I’m Indian,” Sangha said. “I’m not a Muslim, but even if I were, that’s no reason to call police to my home, instantly.”
Sangha, who is preparing to join the Los Angeles Police Department, did not buy ammunition for her rifle — which is the same type of weapon used by a Muslim couple earlier this month to kill 14 co-workers and wound 17 others in San Bernardino.
She only bought an exercise mask at the sporting goods store, and she believes she was racially profiled.”*
