In an article published in July, the Daily Telegraph discusses Paul FC McGirr's defence of NRL player, Michael Jennings and potential racial profiling by NSW Police:
“Police said Jenning’s younger brother Robert, 19, was aggressively kicking the boom gate at the Erby Pl carpark— and that the Roosters star reacted aggressively when officers tried to speak to Robert.
While Jennings did not appear in person yesterday, Mr McGirr claimed outside court that the 27-year-old athlete was charged after telling his that friend he was not required by law to show the police officer his identification.
“He reminded him of his rights and said they were being profiled because they were black and asked what they had done,” he said.”
