Federal Judge Susan Dlott wrote the book on racial profiling in 2002.
Last week, she ripped it into one million tiny pieces when three black people broke into her $8 million Cincinnati home and started beating her and her 79-year old husband.
“There’s three black men with guns at our house,” Dlott told a 911 operator after she escaped the home invasion and ran to her neighbor’s house one mile away.
And just in case the operator did not hear her the first time, Dlott said it again: “My husband and the dogs are still there. There are three black men with guns and masks at the house.”

So we are laughing at elderly people being beat and robbed and calling her out for claiming that there were black men in her house beating and robbing them when in fact there were 3 black men committing the said crime ... Not sure what your angle on this is ?
University of Minnesota to Stop Using Race in Crime Alert Suspect Descriptions
Racial profiling does not refer to the act of a law enforcement agent pursuing a suspect in which the specific description of the suspect includes race or ethnicity in combination with other identifying factors.

No, it is the fact that she said you should never refer to race, that they are not 3 black men or 3 white men, and should only be identified as 3 men, and then the very first time she has a real life situation, she of course says 3 black men.
It's an example of PC gone wild, and even the people who enforce it know it's stupid.
Assuming the facts of the story are true.
It reminds me of an atheist that rages against a belief in God, but in a shtf scenario, what's the first thing many of them do? Pray.

When has she said you should never refer to race?
Wait... is this what conservatives think "racial profiling" by police means?!

Racial profiling: Harassing/detaining people at random because they're black/hispanic/purple martian, and therefore are all criminals and must be up to no good. Example: being pulled over in a nice car for driving while black (line of thought being they must have stolen that car)
Not racial profiling: Describing your attackers.

Here we have no other identifying factors.

It's what the ACLU thinks it means. I just quoted their definition. It can NEVER be Gender/Race without other identifying factors. Why do you bring up conservatives when we are discussing what liberals are saying?
Saying a "black man" is racial profiling. Saying a "black man" with a spider tattoo on his left hand is fine. That's direct from the liberals, I quoted and sourced it.

Yeah totally! Except that's not what the ACLU said at all. Did you even read your link?
Read that whole description. Nowhere does it say you cannot use ethnicity to describe a suspect.
Racial profiling does not refer to the act of a law enforcement agent pursuing a suspect in which the specific description of the suspect includes race or ethnicity in combination with other identifying factors.
Defining racial profiling as relying “solely” on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin or religion can be problematic. This definition found in some state racial profiling laws is unacceptable
