NYPD Chief Said ‘Stop And Frisk’ Was To ‘Instill Fear’ In Blacks, Latinos

Somewhere in Arizona Joe Arpaio can't stop giggling like a little girl!

Reprehensible policy regardless of how it is applied. The probable cause standard exists for a reason.

That said, the way in which it has been applied makes it far worse. Sounds like NYC needs a new top cop.

 

Allegedly racist policy...approved by black governor...probably partially implemented by black cops...in city with black sibling and cousins who have never complained about being frisked...head exploding...

 

Good to see you have literally nothing more to add than your tired old racial taunt.

 

BigTexx comin in 3..2..1...

 

The policy should have never been allowed or implemented. That said, it reads more like he's throwing someone under the bus and distancing himself from it, rather than telling the truth about who said what.

 

This is a strange article. They speak of a 'stop and frisk' as it is some sort of new policy instilled in NYC...

The Terry Frisk has been around 1968 and has already been amended and approved by the Supreme Court on several occasions. When used properly, it is for our safety when you encounter a subject.

Guess they do **** differently in NY then we do down here...

 

in other words.. move to NYC and become a officer if you feel like feeling up latinos or blacks.

 

I'm kind of curious about this quote,

What did he really say in those brackets (Blacks and Latinos)?

Everybody knows that nobody directly references black and latinos anymore for fear of a racial backlash. I have a feeling he used the term urban youths which is pretty much the same thing only "not racist".

 

you forgot to include a couple of key grafs:

[rquoter]Heidi Grossman, an attorney for the city, challenged Adams on the facts of his meeting with Kelly, noting the state senator had not provided notes on the conversation, despite a subpoena. Adams said his email inbox contained some 10,000 messages and that his search for notes concerning the meeting was ongoing.

"I don't think anyone in their right mind would believe the police commissioner would say the police department is targeting, just for targeting, blacks and Hispanics," Grossman said.

<snip>

Kelly said in a statement later that he "categorically and totally" denied making the remarks attributed to him by Adams. "It's interesting that apparently only Mr Adams heard this statement though other people were present. And, it just defies logic ... it's ludicrous."[/rquoter]

 

I'm surprised that he admitted this. Stop and frisk is no different then the random insurance checks in Houston. Blacks and Latinos will always be second class citizens in america.

 

I'm scurred

 

he didn't; these are wholly unsubstantiated allegations.

 

sort of like your threads?

 

From what's posted in this thread, it doesn't seem like there's much proof that Ray Kelly actually made those remarks.

 

He didn't admit that he said this. Indeed, there is no proof other than one person claiming that it was said. I do not know whether he really said it, but it isn't fair to just assume he said it.

 

Regardless of who said what, isn't the net product of the NYPD Stop & Frisk to instill fear in blacks and latinos? Does it much matter if they say it aloud behind closed doors or merely leave it to a wink and a nod?
