No idea, we weren't there. But I have been told that part of their training is also to pick up on cues that might indicate a guilty conscience (looking at the cops, then away or turning away...moving away from them...etc.). If they saw those cues, they might have headed straight for her. So maybe not so much racial profiling, but body language profiling.
IF they were racial profiling, I'd have a big problem with it.
