harrassing 600,000 people a year (82% completely innocent) in order to get 500 guns off the street...is HORRIBLE policing.

So is enacting and enforcing blatantly-unconstitutional “gun control” laws that only significantly adversely affect honest, law-abiding citizens who just want to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

...I too oppose stop and frisk... but not for the convenient reason of perceived racism/racial bias...I don't care one bit about the racial element of the policy.
I don't care if it affect 100% minorities, 50% minority and 50% white.. or whatever numerical division you can concoct.... the simple fact that it affects people with rights is why I oppose it... identity politics does not enter into my thinking on the matter.

the racial dimension is just another reason to oppose the current methods of Stop & Frisk. My larger concern is that 82% of those Stopped & Frisked, are totally innocent of any crimes. This suggests the NYPD is either very lazy..or looking to creat at atmosphere of fear & intimidation. I pray..its the former.

"Mostly innocent"?

"Blacks and Hispanics"?

You really think that Asians and Whiteys don't get stopped and frisked? :roll:
