On Stop and Frisk

NY Daily News  " 'This man has foisted on the city of New York a totally phony claim, and he's maligned a great police department with his claim of racial profiling," he said, calling de Blasio's argument that stop and frisk systematically overtargets minorities "outrageous."
"De Blasio has said he would drop the city's appeal of Judge Shira Scheindlin's ruling on NYPD reforms if he becomes mayor -- but Giuliani suggested Friday that the case could continue even against the Democrat's wishes."

Pros and Cons of "Stop - and Frisk"  
It’s where the crimes are more prevalent and the most shootings occur that someone suspicious would be singled out, stopped, questioned and frisked. In what way does this all make sense? It means that yes, most of those stopped were black and Hispanic but that the reasons for “choosing” them has noting(sp) to do with race, and everything about where they live and hang out, and about more officers patrolling in these areas.
"How ironic.
"Just two days after NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was shouted down at Brown University over NYC’s Stop and Frisk policy, with many protesters citing a finding by a trial Judge of racial discrimination, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has stayed the ruling, and kicked the trial judge off the case. (Full Order embedded at bottom of post.)
"In a short but scathing ruling, the Court of Appeals ruled that Judge Shira A. Scheindlin “ran afoul of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges”:"...

Geraldo Rivera: Blacks and Latinos being most ‘protected’ by ‘Stop-and-Frisk’  “New York is the safest big city on Earth,” he explained. “Chicago has three and half times the homicide rate of New York. And Chicago has a very similar demographic.”
 “And whose lives are being saved by Stop-and-Frisk? It is precisely the people — the black and Latino young person most susceptible to being killed by violence. These are the people being protected by Stop-and-Frisk.”

"He added: “Ray Kelly was right, Mayor Bloomberg was right. Twenty years of Republican administrations in New York has done a good thing.' ”
I wanted to find a cartoon that was perceptive enough to shed light on this subject, but have found only self-righteous works, designed to enhance the cartoonist's street cred with liberal society. Nobody's work shows the reaction of those living in gang-infested areas to the a they are getting from Stop and Frisk. TD

Comments to this post in FreedomWorks and my response:
 
    MR:Calling for the end of police brutality and adherence to Constitutional Rights is fascism to you?
You obviously have no idea what you are posting.
 
    TD: I feel you have no concept of what police brutality is. How about the brutality people on the NY subways experienced during the Dinkins administration? How about the brutality experienced by those families living in the projects run by the gangs and the armed thugs? Shame on you and your feckless liberalism that makes law-abiding people become victims of those you side with.
