Reply to comment by nokinok in About 90% of drivers searched or arrested by the NYPD in 2022 were Black or Latino by mowotlarx

This is the real headline and is encouraging. It shows police aren’t stopping people because of their race.

Or .. or. I could be you are mindless in your unbelievable self deception. This country subscribes to institutional racism as enshrined in our constitution.

Until Americans repudiate institutional racism, constituionally constructed racism, religiously endowed and supported racism - there is no solution. Image, your car, confiscated on the whim of a institutional enforcement strategy?

Racism is wrong and illegal and immoral. It is also wrong to be dismissive about complaints from voters snd taxpayers about the behavior of police.

We have a lot of truth to get to. We are American taxpayers. Nothing more, nothing less. Simpletons should not determine the future of our tax dollars. Simpletons should not foster violence and destruction. Is that what you want? Hope, not fear is guidance for the future. Be glad the world agrees.

You're saying blacks and latinos are more likely to give them a reason to search?

They need reasonable suspicion (or consent) for a Terry stop & frisk. So in answer to your question, yes, it appears individuals with those classifications did give them more reason to search.

You could argue their suspicion wasn't reasonable or they illegally used race as a factor. But this data alone doesn't support that argument.
