I read your articles as well information from other sources and you're right and I was wrong. The percentage of stops was proportionate to the percentage of crimes. I'm sorry for saying that you were incorrect on that point. If you evaluate stop-and-frisk according to whether or not it total % of stops of Black residents is proportionate to the total % of crimes committed by Black people, then stop-and-frisk is permissible. I still, however, evaluate it from whether or not it is discriminatory which means that it's not permissible to me. I don't believe that all Black people should be treated like criminals just because other Black people raise the crime rate. If 100% of crime is committed by 10% of Black people, the other 90% should not be subject to profiling because of it. Not only is unconstitutional; it is immoral. Beyond that, it is the foundation of many Black people's distrust of police.Ignoring the realities of NYC crime | New York Post
