KUNM Call In Show Thu. 7/26 8a: Why aren't local police departments following the law on racial profiling and bias policing?  A recent report released by Somos Un Pueblo Unido and the NAACP found the majority of law enforcement agencies in New Mexico are not in compliance with a state law that prohibits racial profiling and profiling based on other characteristics.  We'll take your calls and comments and hear from community advocates and county and city police departments.
