NYPD Is RACIST! STOP AND FRISK MORE BLACK MEN THAN LIVE IN CITY

NYPD Is RACIST! STOP AND FRISK MAD BLACK MEN! Check out this report on the NYPD. These fools have have stopped and frisked more Black men than actually live in the city! Check out the report! A report [ see below ] from the New York Civil Liberties Union reveals in startling new details just how disproportionately the NYPD stops and frisks minorities. The NYCLU, after combing through the NYPD’s stop and frisk database (to which they gained access after a 2007 lawsuit), reports that “in 70 out of 76 precincts, blacks and Latinos accounted for more than 50 percent of stops, and in 33 precincts they accounted for more than 90 percent of stops.” (In the 6th Precinct, which includes parts of Soho and the Village, blacks and Latinos make up only 8 percent of the population, but accounted for 77 percent of those stopped in 2011.) The NYPD and local politicians have repeatedly defended the racial disparity in stops by saying minorities are disproportionately involved in violent crime. In 2011, however, in only 10.5 percent of stops did cops record “violent criminal activity” as justification for the stop. Under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, stop and frisks have increased 600 percent since 2003. And as previously reported , 87 percent of those stopped in 2011 were black or Latino. “The NYPD’s own data undermine many of the Bloomberg administration’s justifications for the stop-and-frisk program,” NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman said in a statement. “Contrary to the mayor and police commissioner’s assertions, the massive spike in the number of stops has done little to remove firearms from the streets. Instead, it has violated the constitutional rights of millions of people and corroded the ability of communities of color to trust and respect the police.” Read more: HERE!
