Stop-and-Frisk law...WTF?
 

This is bullshit and racial profiling at its best. This isn't unconstitutional?

Stop-and-Frisk law

According to a US District Court judge last week, it is unconstitutional, at least as currently practiced. I think Bloomburg has said the City will appeal.

Yeah this is dumb.

Searches without any probable cause at all?

--seems legit.

Just in case there is a misunderstanding...Kevin is being sarcastic.

Yeah it's been happening all through NYC! And it's not just happening to minorities. I've read a few articles about young white students being frisked. It's awful.

Normally tolls amuse me, but I'm just not up for this kind of bs today. GO AWAY!

Have a seat home's.

Ahhhh, a racist, lying troll. Cool beans!

I was wondering when Max would return.

You mean the police when they perform warrentless stops on people? There are ways to lower crime rates without resorting to unconstitutional methods. All programs like stop and frisk do is make it so that minority groups do not trust the police, and are thus less likely to report crimes.

Your stupid is showing again, Max. Glad that education is working out for you.


For the new GCers, this is just the latest incarnation of a repeatedly-banned poster originally known as madmax. Saying that his posts are a broken record would almost as big an understatement as saying that they are unimaginative and tiresome.

No need to feed the troll—he'll likely be gone soon enough.

Welcome back, madmax. GC needs stuff like this to outweigh the boredom.

You need to go back to school crashtest and take a beginning grammar and writing course.

THANK YOU! I couldn't remember his name. I had a hunch it was him and I just could NOT remember. I was like, "it's that racist troll...the one who always calls Philadelphia "Philla"...he's always asking people if we're scared of the truth and what not..." But his name would just not come to me.

Thanks :)

I needed to pull my pants up and stop rapping on the corner first, but I managed in between taking care of all my illegitimate children.

Psi U MC Vito has always been the biggest thug on GC. He and knight_shadow scare people.

Thanks crashtest guy for making my posts seem normal.....

And I definitely think you wasted your money on whatever education you received.....

OMG... I'm crying over here.

:) Madmax is an intentionally amusing, wannabe offensive, troll.

Badgeguy's just someone who is clueless and unthought on certain topics yet he keeps typing about those topics.

aww....bummer....

I think you're giving him too much credit with "intentionally amusing." "Intentionally annoying," maybe.

Let me fix it - "No, what am I saying?"

(late to the party, I know).

I misread this and thought that you were not understanding what he was trying to say. Then I realized....

the joke







my head


:o

I'm more amused than annoyed by Madmax. :)

OH. MY. GOD.

That was HILARIOUS.
*hi five*
This meme has nothing on my Arthur costume. NOTHING.

I'm sure of that. I just don't give him credit for intending to be amusing. I think he intends to annoy. It's all part of the troll-fail.

Exactly.

No justice, no peace.

Just because I want to put off contracts, I'm going to respond to this.
There are many tools that can be used. Gun buybacks, community policing, and yes strong social pressure. There are a lot of factors involved in creating violence, and a lot of factors needed to reduce it. One of those is the popular media, which is overwhelmingly controlled by upper class Caucasians and targeted at middle class Caucasians.


You mean well educated middle class Americans? Because that is what I am. Caucasian does not always mean affluent, just as non-Caucasian does not always mean impoverished.

And to address your other two points, I will say this. First while 500 deaths a year (which is an inaccurate number) is a tragedy, compared to population, it only works out to about 6.3 per 100K people, which is lower then many other cities. Second, stop and frisk requires reasonable suspension which is actually even a lower standard then probable cause, which is part of the problem. If you look at the number, the majority of people stopped are Hispanic or Black, yet the majority of seizures occur for Caucasian suspects.
Shit. I can't imagine how far I would have gone by now if I have only had good parenting. I guess being a first generation college graduate isn't enough.

Have any of you walked in the shoes of either those who stopped them or those who were stopped?:confused:

Been there as a COP. Started in 1969 and that is when riots started. Worked in the North end, namely Black area. Had no problem as I got along with the people.
Worked Western area, mostly white area.
I stopped people when I saw a law broken, I didn't care who they were. They screwed up, I went after the, period.

But yes some others were not me!

If a certain group causes problems then that skews guys minds. It boild down, certain groups be on guard or maybe get shot/killed.

Have any of you been shot? I have, guess what it hurt, DAH!:eek:
