The Newtown Florist Club will meet with local law enforcement Thursday for a community conversation on racial profiling and interactions with police. “On the issue of criminal justice, racial profiling is the top issue for a lot of people when it comes to law enforcement,” said the Rev. Rose Johnson, Newtown’s director. The community conversation at 6 p.m. Thursday at St. Paul United Methodist Church, 705 Summit St., Gainesville, is the first since the genesis of the Criminal Justice Reform Project for Newtown.
