Is This NYPD Commanding Police Officer Demanding Racial Profiling?

[Masked Dissident]

After watching this video, it is very hard NOT to conclude that this NYPD commanding police officer is asking his subordinate to find more blacks to arrest:

Watch the video and you decide:

The War on Drugs is responsible for some of our most serious internal problems, outstandingly including the conflict between Blacks and the police.

This problem arose and escalated back in the seventies when a statistical observation concluded that potential for drug possession arrests during routine car stops was considerably greater with Black drivers than with Whites. One immediate result of this observation was the reduction of the Fourth Amendment's probable cause requirement to that of reasonable suspicion, which essentially is a hunch). So the rather obvious practice of racial profiling by police has much less to do with individual racial prejudice than with drug arrest potential.

The federal government provides substantial financial subsidies to all U.S. police agencies based on an individual agency's volume of drug arrests, which accounts for the motivation demonstrated in the topic video. This NYPD Captain is not pushing the cop to focus on Blacks because of some racial antagonism but because he's been pressured by his superiors to increase drug arrest numbers.

Blacks are justifiably pissed off because of the obvious discriminatory profiling, which accounts for increasingly hostile transactions between White cops and Black subjects, the vast majority of which are drug-related or drug-motivated. The ultimate effect of this increasing hostility is the killing of Blacks by cops and, more recently, the inevitable retaliatory killing of White cops by enraged Blacks.

The drug war is the root of it -- and more.
