Unfortunate ruling. I hope Bloomberg fights this ruling.
If blacks and latinos are committing 99% of the crimes then it can't be racial profiling to target them.
More ignorance and hate from the right.
What youÂ’re advocating is un-Constitutional and illegal. YouÂ’re advocating a policy of presumed guilt absent due process, where a citizens must prove he is innocent.
The stop and frisk policy is valid only on an individual by individual basis, when there is reasonable suspicion attached to a particular individual.
Consequently it doesn’t make any difference what ‘percentage’ of a given race is committing crime, it can’t be used as justification for a stop and frisk absent any other evidence contributing to reasonable suspicion.
The ruling was correct and predicated on established and settled Constitutional case law.
