\n Top security and justice officials in Germany are torn over calls by human rights activists to study the use of racial profiling by police.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance recommended that federal and state police in Germany commission a study into the use of racial profiling, a xenophobic practice that activists say is widespread in the country.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s Interior Ministry, which oversees federal police, initially agreed to the idea, but a ministry spokesman backtracked on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo-called racial profiling isn\u2019t permitted. This is taught during the initial and ongoing training, and it doesn\u2019t happ<\/a>en,\u201d the spokesman, Steve Alter, told reporters in Berlin.<\/p>\n

Interior Minister Horst Seehofer wanted to first await a report on \u201cextremist and racist tendencies\u201d among public servants being compiled by Germany\u2019s domestic intelligence agency before considering whether further steps were necessary, Alter said.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s justice minister, Christine Lambrecht, said late Monday that the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance\u2019s recommendation to study racial profiling in policing was \u201cright and important, in order to get the latest facts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my view that we shouldn\u2019t refrain from the study that was initially planned,\u201d Lambrecht said, adding that she would continue to press her case with Seehofer.<\/p>\n

Debates about racial profiling and the broader issue of systemic racism in Germany have been amplified by the worldwide protests that followed the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed Black man, in the United States. A White police officer pressed his knee against the 46-year-old Floyd\u2019s neck for almost 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
