Just...wow, at this comment. This is really not worth my time, but you should try to learn about statistical significance. You just shared 12 examples of tragedies spanning like 15 YEARS. I remember these incidents - some of them, like Abner Louima and Amadou Diallo are probably some of the defining events of my childhood as an NYC kid.
Twelve tragedies over 15 years do not represent a trend. Many more than 12 people die per year from their TVs falling on them, falling down stairs, slipping in the bathtub, etc.
As a 120 lb. woman, I wasn't really the target of stop-and-frisk, but I sure care about my father (who is constantly stopped and asked if he is Ice-T), and my older brother (who strongly resembles Mace, the 90s rapper). I have never once stayed up at night thinking about them being stopped and frisked, I sure do worry about them catching a stray bullet in the Bronx, from the gangs who are running unabated.
Finally, I realize there are a lot of bored white people like you (as revealed by "prick" and "fascist") who want a pet project or something, but minorities are not it. We don't need your "help". Stop promoting hatred of and undermining the police. *We* live in the high crime neighborhoods and public housing that are ravaged by gangs, not you.
If you want a cause, go to the ASPCA shelters and help some homeless dogs.

Lmao this is so obviously made in bad faith. If they all have a similar pattern or common denominator, it absolutely is a trend.

So you know the NYPD isn’t to be trusted.

Sure bro

Lmao just because you refuse to acknowledge a problem doesn’t mean it’s not there. I’m not promoting hatred of anything. These guys are doing it to themselves, so fuck you for trying to defend the police for behaving badly. I guarantee you wouldn’t feel the same if it happened in your community.

Please show me where I’m “promoting hatred of police?” All of the articles I cited happened, so it’s not like I’m lying about them.
