Not surprising she is stumping for Summers.
"Frisking a sixteen-year-old
Governor Whitman frisking Sherron Rolax (1996)In 1996, Whitman joined a New Jersey State Police patrol in Camden, New Jersey. During the patrol, the officers stopped a 16-year-old African American male named Sherron Rolax, and frisked him. After the police found nothing on him, Whitman also frisked the youth while a state trooper photographed her. In 2000, the image of the smiling governor frisking Rolax was published in newspapers statewide, which drew criticism from civil rights leaders who saw the incident as a violation of Rolax's civil rights and an endorsement by Whitman of racial profiling -- especially since Rolax was not arrested nor found to be violating any law. Whitman told the press that she regretted the incident"report abuse
