Doesn't help if the DA's let everyone out.

Unlawful means illegal, why weren't the cops arrested for this

I'm from New York City.
I would never want to live there again.

Stop & TRIPLE frisk!!! As a native Hispanic New Yorker I remember this was highly effective during Mayor Giuliani's time in office.

NY mayor is awful he needs to go. Knowing he was a former police officer cops still do whatever they want with no consequences. They should be suspected without pay until an investigation is completed against any officer.

Stop and frisk=search all black men

Another form of modern day racism dressed up...

My question is, why isnt something being done about this? To my mind, a law enforcement agency thats breaking the law is a rogue entity, and as such, the citizens of NY should not be required to abide by any orders given by them. I feel like, if a cop pulls up at random and attempts to unlawfully pat a person down, that person should have the legal right to resist, matching force for force.

You can see police presence all the the comments with the lies and misinformation.

[breezy]

Smh this is such a stupid statistic. The majority of New Yorkers are Black or Hispanic. And as a Hispanic New Yorker I ask that this would continue and make consequences/ repercussions more harsh.

So it should be stated this is the group committed the most crime got stopped the most…

[ninacarranza]

It is not unlawful if there is probable cause

[akiaki]

The raw numbers on recovery rates for contraband indicated that frisked or searched white suspects were much likelier to have contraband than were black suspects. When considering only recovery rates of weapons, we found no differences by race. For every 1, 000 frisks of black suspects, officers recovered seven weapons, and, for every 1, 000 frisks of similarly situated white suspects, officers recovered eight weapons, a difference that is not statistically significant.

Well there isn't whyte n Asians in da hood

[chriszenko]

The stats given said 97% of Blacks and Hispanics are being searched but no stats where given on the amount of crime and shootings committed by those groups.which could justify or not justify those statistics

[l.taylor]

This reporting is very biased. Please try to be more objective about your news stories

[pulaski]

Good. Stop and frisk everyone. If you arent doing anything wrong you shouldn't be worried.

[fearyahlife]

Look at all of the homeless people that's there 😮

[essence-scott]

It needs stop stop this stereotypes of black men and Latino men

[truthwarrior]

Well that is the same statistic of the crime committed what a quinky dink

[Oldmandad]
