The Hunted And The Hated: An Inside Look At The NYPD’s Stop-and-Frisk Policy

When I came into this police force I wanted to help people, but the civilian population, they’re being hunted. They’re being hunted and we’re being hated.

Remember.. no A students ever become cops...and lots of them never got laid in HighSchool either
And the nastiest kid is school is a cop's kid.
Yood be pissed too if you had to live with a fucking cop ...
On the basis of personal experience - must say that the offspring of the Police do tend to be bullies - presumably "just like Dad".
You'll notice that their "transgressions" seem to be generally overlooked too - unlike us lesser mortals' offspring.
your uncle may want to rethink that position when it comes (and it will soon) that his pension is taken from him. When its his turn to paint out a protest sign, he may well find that the "society" out there is really a good bunch of caring, thinking people.
Mrs Reilly: "Say a Rosary for the po-lice, Ignatius. If it wasn't for the po-lice we'd all be layin' in our beds with our throats cut ear to ear."
Seems like rights don't matter. If you haven't seen it, this is an excellent, and entertaining, law school lecture about why one should NEVER talk to the police. The second half of the same lecture is from a former detective who reveals the numerous ways that he got confessions. Of course, I could only imagine the fury that the NYPD might pour down on someone actually trying to use these concepts. It is, however, most interesting and has over 1.9 million views (be sure to watch when to skip the ad at the start).

if you want to fuck with them the only way is to tell them to arrest you and let you call your lawyer. And not say anything else. They may still beat the shit out of you though.
Earns you a trip to the hooscow, and now your in their system and they will not let you go until the have financially eviscerated you. They don't need reasons to do whatever they want now.
I am Zadok and I approve this message based entirely on experience.
Is anyone frisking Wall Street? I am serious. The stuff some of those types smoke would definitely be of interest to the police.
How about for possession of credit default swaps and other instruments of financial mass destruction?
Anyone wearing a suit could be frisked for looking "suspicious".
Going against the bosses' bosses it's considered a career terrminating move.
The "police" serve the monied. The job of police is to keep the jails and prisons full. Private companies supply food, clothing, use the prisoners as slave labor. Private contractors build the prisons, maintain them, union employees get paid. As long as the people put up with this it will not only continue but get worse and the cops will slowly move up to the lower middle class, then middle class, then upper middle class until their jobs pulled out from under them.
Correct. Frisk any equity analyst scheduled to appear on air that day from the floor and BAM!!!: The NYSA has hit their weekly contraband quota.
thanks Tyler!

Nail them to the wall. Every one of them, from top to bottom.
They can quit. But they don't.
Promotion based on these types of "qualifications" will lead directly to a Nazi regime, as the worst of the worst rise to the top. It is safer for the world for them all to be purged.
Observation from some of the cities I have lived in tells me that getting a foothold takes a while, once we have reached this stage the degradation accelerates and descends into intimidation of the innocent and protection of the criminals VERY quickly!
Watch out!
Great Video. Most disturbing is the shear volume they are doing this frisk program. 1800/day is near 650 k a year.
Cops suck. The say they want to "help" people. What they want is the power to be on the other side of the "line" telling you that YOU cannot come over it.
99% of them are power hungry assholes who needed a good ass whoopin when they were 12.
I don't give a fuck what some cop thinks it's his job to do. If he will haul someone to jail for possession of a joint, he's unworthy of life.
No shit.
If you look like a rag head terrorist then its fine by me.
That is no way to talk about your mother.
Ok, lets frisk everyone then... All the old ladies and blond haired kids.
How does that make any sense ?
Worried about offending a muslim ? Are you a muslim apologist ?
What is wrong with you?
You've turned into a real douchebag Spitzer
"Bay",
Naw...People don't change. "douchebag" was there all the time.
If New York has an intractable problem with any group, minority or otherwise, there is a serious disconnect somewhere, because we all know that simply the best people in the world are attracted to that magnificent, fine city.
"Ok, lets frisk everyone then... All the old ladies and blond haired kids."
Stop "frisking" the kids Eliot. And don't forget to register.
Anyone in favor of frisk a bankster day?

Maybe examples like this could help unite the predominately white libertarian community and the minority communities. We will all have more leverage in our fight for freedom and justice if more of us work together rather than falling for the divide and conquer strategy that the powers that be try to trick us into participating in.
There was a very great American who was once in the middle of doing that, a giant national movement ... creating the common bond between the working class whites and the minorities ...

You guys seem to be missing the point. Look---the perp looked back at the officer in the cruiser as it drove by. It is extremely discourteous and offensive for a serf to gaze on the majesty of an elite. The eyes should remain focused on the ground, head bent subserviantly as an offering of the neck, should the elite choose to take it. Anything less is an invitation for an ass-kicking, at the very least. Officer Friendly was well within his "rights":
Officer Friendly: Whatchu lookin' at, fool!!!
Perp: Jus' lookin', man, aint dat my right???
OF: You have the right to shut the fuck up, fool!! I suggest you exercise that right!! Now spread 'em!!
Perp: But, whah whah whah, whine whine whine. Jus' mindin' my own bi'ness, shufflin' along, shuckin' and jivin'...
OF: Shut the FUCK UP!! (Hits Perp in back of back of head with billy club, Perp falls to his knees, where a puddle of piss forms on the sidewalk).
Perp: Aw, man....you didin' haveta do dat....
OF: (Barking into radio strapped to his right shoulder) Officer in need of assistance!! Suspect resisting!! Suspect resisting!! (unhooks can of capsaicin pepper spray, liberally douses the Perp). There, you little dickhead, pimple on the ass of society....take that!!!!
Perp: Aw, shit!! Stop!! OK, I admit to smothering my grandma for the money in her purse to buy smack! I admit to bein' a low-life worthless mutha fucka!! Jus' stop fuckin' with me!!! (Now a dark stain appears at the seat of his pants).
Officer Friendly (looking around quickly to make sure there's no witnesses): Say hello to Satan, you worthless piece of shit... (fires two .45 ACP rounds point blank in back of Perp's head, brains splatter everywhere. Hungry flies buzz in to feast).
This, folks, is the way things should be. The Perp is part of the 47% who depend on us worker bees to fund his sordid existence. Officer Friendly is not going to jump anybody in a suit who is obviously a tax payer, so relax. NY Cops are just taking out the garbage. It's a dirty job, etc.

While Putin getting ready...

Putin takes the helm in Russia’s biggest nuclear exercises since 1991
President Vladimir Putin took a leading role in the latest tests of Russia’s strategic nuclear arsenal, the most comprehensive since the 1991 Soviet collapse, the Kremlin said on Saturday.
The exercises, held mostly on Friday, featured prominently in news reports on state television which seemed aimed to show Russians and the world that Mr. Putin is the hands-on chief of a resurgent power.
Tests involving command systems and all three components of the nuclear “triad” – land and sea-launched long-range nuclear missiles and strategic bombers – were conducted “under the personal leadership of Vladimir Putin,” the Kremlin said.
While that neo-con POS Romney is making sure to raise tensions...
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/20/romney-blasts-russia-on-campa...
Romney rips Russia on campaign trail, but if elected may need to seek compromise
Seems like the US was a much better place when they had competition from the old Soviet Union ...
After the Soviet Union fell, the US become much more Nazi-like ... more police brutality, more mass imprisonment, more murders of American people like Ruby Ridge and Waco ...
Maybe a strong Russia - and a very strong Russia Today news media - will do America some good again
Hope that Russia Today keeps hammering, with Max Keiser and everything else ... best damn global TV news in English right now
And until today I thought you were a complete idiot.
Forgot about Viet Nam and Korea, eh? He's still a complete idiot, and so are you.
And you are a brainwashed tool who is willing to throw his life away for the sake of fucking moneychangers in the temple.

One up on Arizona. We don't need no steenkin Constitution!
Was thinking of going to New York for a touristy visit. I ain't never goin' to New York City. Fuck you Bloomberg.
Might not let you leave.
Might send you home in a bag.
"Ditto" from Canada.
New York leads the way in America's fall from freedom to fascism. Why would any tourist want to visit a city where the cops are so abusive?
Mayor Bloomberg has put a higher priority on eliminating large soda drinks than his citizens being routinely violated Why does the media not cover this massive violation of the constitution everyday?
Here are some facts about New York's stop and frisk:
"In Brownsville, Brooklyn In 2009, 93 Out Of Every 100 Residents Were Stopped By The NYPD"
The NYPD Can Stop And Frisk You In Your Building
More Young Black Men Were Stopped By The NYPD In 2011 Than There Are Young Black Men in New York City
NYPD Will Stop You For 'Inappropriate Attire Off Season'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/13/nypd-stop-and-frisks-15-shocking-facts_n_1513362.html
goddam fucking Fascists -worse than fascists. Bloomberg needs someone to shove a taser up his ass -let's see how he likes it -on the bright side -Yankees swept in 4 by the Tigers, and they are saddled with $111 million still owed to the worthless A-rod -made my day. It was hilarious watching all those speed freak coked out Bankster employees sitting in the $2000 seats behind home plate -with most of the seats empty. Goldman Sachs may have purchased a lot of their empty seats, but their employees they gave the tickets to apparently felt their time was better spend snorting coke out of a $1000 an hour hookers ass. Better time spent than watching their pathetic baseball team of overpaid millionarres.
Note to self: Go to NYC, where a hoodie and a book bag, look back at cops a lot, where a wire, await the inevitable. File suit. Get large payoff.
lol...do all the above jogging, listening to your iPod, so they have to tackle you from behind.
P.S. Note to Self: Get nose permanently smashed.
You seem to be forgetting they rigged the US courts to protect the crooked cops, as the very pre-condition of police brutality
Amazing how people even in America think the US courts are like in the movies ... with 1 out of every 140 Americans already in the biggest prison gulag in the world
Yeah, one or two police brutality cases really blatant on video or similar, there is some money paid ... they allow those partly to claim 'the system works'
But most people who get their faces beaten in by cops, arrested on false charges etc., get zip zero and nada ... and stay in prison on top of it
Good luck having a cop abuse you, and then trying to get sympathy from a US judge who gets bribery cash for every person he sentences to custody and slave labour in the for-profit prison corporations
Just join em! Completely screw up your life, get caught, claim reformed, start 'program' for others 'like' you, have sympathetic (payed off) judge funnel all the captives your way!
Gives the judge an excuse to 'do something' and you get a captive pay group. Works for both of you, protects the current scam and carves out a piece of the action for yourself!
No sarc here, just observation.

Ha! Never a cop when you want one!
This shit don't happen out here in the sticks...where the sheriff is elected and most people are armed ;-)
Or sailing on the seven seas. Well not yet anyway.
Really?
Obviously you have not had the pleasure of lining up at the railing middle of the night for inspection by Uncle Sams Confused Group!
Never been boarded by Coasties in international waters? Run a CG flag up a US Naval warship's mast, and bingo - U.S. blue water sea police. Coastguard LEO ops utilizing Navy assets for extended range and time at sea were a mainstay in the Carribean back in the 80's and 90's while they were looking for dope runners. They even brought their own choppers onboard. I recall several very nice blue water sailboats being boarded and searched - to no avail - by Coasties in flak jackets w/ automatic weapons. The infamous "safety check." Boarding sailboats beat the hell out of chasing cement carriers. Been there, seen that.
Note to self - when "things get interesting" avoid the Caribbean. It'll probably be a bit of a fall-out area anyhow, so it wasn't on our "must visit during the height of WW3 festivities" agenda.
Pardon us for being a bit dim, but we were under the impression (obviously incorrect) that the USA did NOT have jurisdition in International Waters, and such "board and search" missions are a de facto act of piracy.
What ya gonna do about it punk, resist, I dare ya! Look around, no witnesses. We can and will make the story the way we want.
Go ahead punk, I dare ya!
"Land of the Free" "Home of the Brave"?
Think about it. Think about the creeping fascism at home and the criminal wars and bombing abroad. The use of know terrorist elements to attack NATO unfriendly nations. Syria being a prime example.
Our own cops are becoming like Soviet NKVD, America runs secret torture prisions, we are bombing 7-8 different countries we are not at war with.
USA plans to destroy Syria and bomb Iran. We already fund terrorists that oppose Iran's government. We provided air support to known terrorists in Libya. Don't even ask about our training and funding of death squads across Central America.
Indeed. The "Land of the Free" and the "Home of the Brave". The American Neocon elites are out of control madmen. Both Obama and Romeny support every element in the new fascist America.
A Perfect Recording Of The Best Of New York City

The police departments are going broke and will be even more broke (if there is such a thing). Who willl pay for all of those oversized monster vehicles and their ridiculous pensions? Certainly not the populace who have no money left and are content to spend their days waddling to the grocery store with their EBTs and brood in tow.
The future world is one in which you, your friends and family, and neighborhood defend yourself. The way it should have been all along.
Only in the fevered imaginations of coddled middle class Americans are "gangs" bad things. Gangs are in fact an expression of natural human instinct and tribal behavior, and no different from larger, more formal structures like corporations or nations.
C'mon the cops are here to protect and serve, and when I see one I always feel safer and not about to shit my pants and make sure I am not doing anything illegal..... Psyche.
How bout THIS one here in NYC....few weeks ago a sicko cop blew away a young driver for no apparent reason....unarmed of course...This is Bloombergs shithead army...

Listen you so-called "freedom lovers"-Hitler had his SA batallion. What's so terrible about Bloomberg having the same?
Oh, I get it!!!! You guys think this is still America. Well, I guess some learn faster than others......................
This is what happens when people flee from NY. Union inflow requirements cannot support Union outflow pension obligations. Create new laws to supplement lost inflow revenues.
NYC will become Detroit. Bloomberg can enjoy the lesson learnt on instilling a Hugo Chavez beta site.

walk up to any officer and volunteer.

OCTOBER SURPRISE...
http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/report-for-first-time-u-s-iran-a...
Report: For first time, U.S., Iran agree to one-on-one nuclear talks"The agreement was reached following intense, secret negotiations that started shortly after Barack Obama entered the White House four years ago, the Times reported."
This negotiation speed belongs in the Guiness book of World Records.
wouldn't hold my breath on this... since the real issue has nothing to do with nuclear weapons or Iran's nuclear energy program... this is a temporary diversion at best, and at worst, the last bit of posturing before the war starts in earnest.
Jeez, imagine that. Right before the election. Who would have thought?
Iran wants their boy back in the White House. Of course, "negotiations" isn't "agreement." Nor will it stop Iran's nuclear weapons program.
UPDATE: NSC spokesman denies any agreement to one-on-one talks between U.S. and IRAN.
Pfff. NYPD should learn more from the French police about those stops-and-frisks.

Well done YC -keep it coming. Exposure, exposure, exposure is what's needed.
This shit is bad, summons can be worse, they'll write you up for all sorts of shit...good luck fighting it. Got a ticket for talking on a cell while driving ( I do not own a cell) I went to court knowing full well I'm going to lose. Total B.S. testimony by the cop (even mentioned the color of my imaginary phone) I did get to mention on record that I was glad he did'nt see me with a "gun"... It was worth the buck thirty to see the look on the cops face.....Screw you Bloomy
Keep Your Numbers Up... Keep Your Numbers Up... Keep Your Numbers Up...
I think I just heard an echo from the future.

And whether you consider it good news or bad news, they each have no clue what they contribute toward that end...
We've advanced, ya see... we can fck it all up without a dictator, now.
Is it any different than Air Port Security?
+1
What kind of retarded airports do you frequent? You ever been to the airport and seen a long line of young blacks and latinos waiting for the machine screening, while the white people skip the line and pass straight to the gate?? Any attacker would just recruit a white person or slip something into a white person's bag. (87 percent of those stopped and frisked are black/latino.)
And does Airport security curse you, shove you, threaten to break your arm, then stop you again after another hundred yards and start over?
You seem to be determined to keep your eyes shut to the suffering of others around you.
This is yet another case of the courts and
regulatory agencies failing us. Whether it's judges throwing out lawsuit against banks for illegal foreclosures because of the stinking corrupt MERSCORP system, deregulation of the financial industry, dropping rules regulating market share of media markets or reasonable search, the watch dogs are off in the corner chewing the bone tossed by the robbers. As troubling as all these things are, the lack of rectification by the courts in particular is equally troubling.
Stop and frisk ... they've moved on to stop and shoot.
sorry for the re-posting but this is a nice tonic after watching the above Stop and Frisk vid...

Highest per capita incarceration rate in the world.
Two of the top ten most viloent cities in the world.
A place where politicians are the only ones to commit insider trading, something citizens go to jail for.
Where states legailze marijuana and the fed pursues those who participate in the states lawful activities.
Where grandmothers, children and people who are rehabilating from medical procedures are degraded before they enter an airplane.
The only country in the world who is actve in more than three war zones.
The only country who has WMD's and actually used them.
This countriy's leader won a Nobel Peace Prize then signed laws taking citizen's rights away.
Do you think it is time to fire the government in total and hire a new one?
William Bratten's Compstat program was hugely successful in the 90's. It restored law and order on the streets of NYC. I'm going to guess that most of you folks are of more substantial means and don't have to put with with all the lowlifes that your appeasement programs create for the rest of us who just want to live in a safe, peaceful neighborhood. NMewn, had it right, out in the sticks where people are allowed to carry, it's not an issue. I don't recall a huge outcry against Compstat when NYC was a festering shithole. At least, they got a handle on the crime situation before it turned into a movie plot from the 90's. GFYs
Before you spew any more regurgatated "facts" get this fact, 33% of our prisons have identified illegal aliens. No other country on earth has so many illegals incercerated for violent crimes. Delete the identified illegals from the incarceration list and the stats are on par with the rest of the world. This doesn't account for the millions more unidentified illegals here on fake id's. Most of the crimes are against Americans.
Your math is way off...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nake-m-kamrany/incarceration-rate_b_142382...
United States incarceration rate defies the rule of optimal sanction that would promote equity and efficiency. It incarcerates 753 per 100,000; comparable European figures include 153 for England, 96 for France, 92 for Italy, 66 for Denmark and 90 for Germany. The high figures in the United States are caused by imposing punishment rather than rehabilitation as the pendulum for "tough on crime" swung in the 1980s. California's three strike laws, power under proposition 2, direct filing and other tough-on-crime measures are illustrative.
Deek Chainy gotta get his kicks in Dubai somehow.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JaMBEIM0kM
China is 111 per 100,000 citizens and India is 25 per 100,000. The US incarceration rate is 30 times higher than India's rate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration#cite_note-NationMaster-6
From the link: India has one of the lowest incarceration rates with 281,000 prisoners in their jails.[5] This is a rate of just under 25 per 100,000; given a total population, 1,129,866,154.[5] India reported 1,764,630 crimes in 2007.[5] There were 236,313 assaults and 111,296 burglaries. However most of the criminals are easily granted bail after commiting crime and most of the cases are verdict pending. It would be number one if verdict is pronounced in all the pending cases.[7]
Hey, that's great. I'm so sure that the "rule of law" and not the "rule of bribe/connections" is what makes these such good "true" stats.
and in this you see the reason why the police are instructed to arrest as many people as possiblek, for any reason. IN some parts of usa, lare cities, I am told that the police actually effect a near 100% arrest rate of youth before their 20th birthday. The reason is this, what is the first thing they always say about someone when in conflict with the government? He had no arrest record, or he was prior arrest record. The latter of course means that person has no credibility before a jury, cannot easily get a job or rent an apartment, is a slave for life. This usa goverhment never does anything except for multiple reasons: stop and arrest is useful to control people, get them into the system, huge prison populations are very profitable businesses. The federal prison system is the largest manufacturer of office equipment in the usa. Former AG Edwine Meese used to own the largest "chain" of half way houses that all released prisoners are required to stay in on realease for several months, etc., etc, etc. Its about control and making money, not about the police.
you missed one: first country in the world to use biological weapons on civilians,
giving blankets used by people with tuberculosus to the native amercians at at the onset of winter so as to exterminate them. You all seem to think this behavior of the usa started in the recent past. Not so.
I got punched in the stomach when I was 16 by a cop who crashed into my parked car, and that's before they started passing out free steroids... http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/12/hundreds_of_nj_police_firefigh.html
Jersey is full of the worst dbag cops on the planet.. ran me outta that state with their BS
I remember watching a teen being pulled over. As he got out of his car, the cop just went nuts on him. The poor kid tried to duck his head under his arms but the cop was pummeling him with both fists, kicking at him at the same time. It was as if the cop was having a temper tantrum. My friend and I were forced to witness this assault for no apparent reason than perhaps a bad attitude (which I did not detect).
This was in Pennsylvania. Fortunately, in my town, the cops are decent. They tend to be Christians, I am told. Maybe that makes a difference. They are professional and willing to negotiate (talking quietly with you). I'd like to see the good cops get community/state/national recognition for being Stand-Up Men who maintain their cool at all times.
Police brutality victims must feel extremely vulnerable knowing that the bad guys are the cops and cannot be counted on when you are a victim of a crime.
Speaking of criminals....I had been a cop show fan and do not recall even the worst of the worst (child killers, rapists and serial killers) being treated with this type of humiliation, harrassment, physical assault and disregard of rights (a lawyer present).
Many of these Cops on what's called a "roid rage". They are hooked on steroids. They take them to bulk up. Then the testorone is running at super heated levels. That's whne they do a stop and fisk. When they are in that drug induced state, a dropped pen could make them go crazy and start punching the crap out of people. Then again, many of them are just Pschos and enjoy this type of "work". In fact they would be the ones who would say "I can't beleive they pay us to do this. God I love America". You have to wonder if many of these cops understand that they need a "Cop Helper" to get those 250s.
A Decade or more back, most of these cops would never get past the psych weed-out exams they have. Then the Police Departments didn't want Pychos with Sticks and Guns. Back then, many of the officers also belonged to Army reserves and the National Guard, mainly for the extra income. Then the war in the sandbox called Iraq happened . The reserves, the inactive reserves and the Nation Guard were called up for combat duty in numbers not seen before.
The police forces were getting strip mined. At first they waited and kept the jobs open thinking the cops would be gone for a single tour like Vietnam. Then they realized , as All Americans did, that these guys were going to be used for the duration, no matter how long it was. So the Police Depts began to call up the marginals that had failed past exams. Once they went through those, then they dropped all pretence and just hired the guys that would do anything to carry a gun and work in uniform. Many of them being rent-a-cops paid at slightly above minimum wage.
This is what large city police forces has evolved too. Who do you think goes when they have to lay cops off now? The least "agressive" ones. The elite want big bad-asses to protect their own. That's the NYPD in a nutshell. That's where a huge majority of the non-producers who get rich by screwing people live and work. They elect one of their own as Mayor and the inevitable happens. Before 9/11 they would have had trouble getting a program like Stop and Frisk going from the rank and file. Not anymore.
so you can get profiled as an American in NY but if they profile illegals in AZ that causes a backlash??
Call me crazy but I enjoy being randomly touched by people as long as they are wearing latex of some sort.
Bare hands touching = major turnoff.
Unfortunately, this is a self perpetuating feedback loop.
The more the populace views the police as mindless thugs, the more difficult it is for the police department to attract mentally balanced individuals.
As we have seen, the same goes for the mayor's office.
As an aside, I know a young Hong Kong woman who went to live in NYC for two months for training last fall. She rented a serviced apartment in lower Harlem but was worried about crime.
I said don't worry Harlem is safe now.
This was around when the OWS people were getting beat up.
When she came back she said "you were right but I was more afraid of the police."
Banzai
They don't want mentally balanced individuals, that's the sad but true point.
Alice's Restaurant reference?
Unfortunately, you are right about that.
I have lived in places where the police were constantly harassing drivers to get bribes, but I never felt as menaced by the police as I do in the US.
I think there's a number of reasons why this policy has been adopted.
1. It is creating a separation between police and citizens. This makes police feel isolated, and re-inforces their natural tendancy to act as a gang. This means that when the next level of control is implemented, they will be more willing to commit even more serious infringements of peoples rights - because they will see the general public as enemies/outsiders.
2. To create a feeling in the general public and citizens that they cannot trust the police, so that when the social situation begins to deteriote - people will not easily be able to engage the police and gain their co-operation in pushing back against further infringement of rights.
This is the way you set up a police state - by creating a serious division between police and public - so that the police can more easily be used as a tool of the state to support a criminal regime - coming soon to the US and EU.
If the police allow themselves to be used and controlled in this first phase - they will find it increasingly difficult to extract themselves from the situation later. They are being trained to be thugs of the state.
Two questions for the author.
1. Do you live in NYC(I do)
2. Did you know the policy has been defeated a few months ago in court.
Crime in NYC will now rise.
4 million people stopped and frisked since 2002 and it stops only now? Why did it take so long for this abuse of the constitution to be be stopped?
So may I suggest we start a "photo and post" (as in personal addresses) initiative of any and all police officers participating or promoting this practice. We can start with Kelly.
If you want to do well in this world you just need to try hard not to be Black or Hispanic.
I`m not a visible minority. I`ve been pulled numerous times without cause for drinking &driving checks. I`ve even been harrassed by the police while waiting in my car outside a mall. A key pt in the vid is that the police try to get a rise out of the kid so they can have an arrest. They need to keep their stats up just like speeding tickets. Its then easier for them to hang around and do nothing like the lazy shits most of them are. Then, unions can push for more jobs, and the superiors&management also make more money. The people in the vid need to focus on the key pt here. Money.
Bloomberg is a fascist, an uppity newcomer who throws his weight around demanding that his own circle have every priviilege while condescending and abusing others.
RE: the video. The police complaints are disingenuous - from what I saw of the young men's experiences, and their complaints.
Here's a script that would show genuine police concern to make their numbers without upsetting the community:
'Hey kid. Sorry about this. Just doing my job. Got to stop you. BTW, how's your mother, your father? You gettin' on ok at school? OK. Kid. I can see you are not doin' anything wrong. On you go. Have a good night. See ya around.'
Job done.
Even better: 'So, if you don't like this search (and I don't), maybe you could tell your parents to tell Bloomberg that he's a fuckin useless rich bastid. Thanks, kid. See ya around.'
Ironic that much of the content on ZH is derived from info provided by the Mayor's company;
Cornering the market is the name of this game. Monopolizing every industry. Controlling all people. And protecting the fraudulent and corrupt business deals is the scheme. Protest and be called a "dissident." This is not Israel, who is surrounded by potential enemies. This is America. In fact, this is also happening in Canada.
The cops are playing around with the OWS crowd and in NY, Bloomberg would like nothing better than to rid the city of anyone but the monied whom he protects and has created an army of policemen to ensure nothing stands in their move toward a fascist police state.
For the barbarian regimes we have almost all around the World, police brutality is needed. It's a pitty policemen don't realize they're being used too.
1800 a day and one lousy tape? I don't get it....
One tape that survived. HEAVEN HELP that kid if the cops discover he is taping them -- it's over for him, and you will not hear about on tv OR on zerohedge.
1800 a day and one lousy tape? I don't get it....
I accosst people and put them into uncompromising positions everyday. We call it joga.
Arrest Bloomberg. He just put up a 911 statue of an Afgahnistan Opium trader on horseback as a tribute for Cheney blowing up the World Trade Centers. The Sculptor is named Bloomberg. Throw that bum out of office and into prison along with the banksters. Time to clean up NYC.
"'Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?' said Dr. Ferris. 'We want them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it.There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that's the system, Mr. Rearden,
that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.'"
Ayn Rand ('John Galt Speech' 1957)Many years ago, when I read atlas shrugged the 1st time, I thought of it as really good fiction. Right now I'd put it in the non-fiction section, next to that Cayce fellow.
Bullshit #1 "When I came into this police force I wanted to help people"
Bullshit #2: "the civilian population, they’re being hunted" [BECAUSE OF] “Stop and Frisk” Policy
Obviously this cop was born yesterday.
Most police dept.'s allow for civilian ride-alongs. Why don't some of you all-knowing progressives request a friday or saturday night summer ride-along in one of the more dangerous neighborhoods and then tell us how abusive your police are? Most of you people are little keyboard sissies who live well away from real society. But, you all have gold and are ready to 'bug out' when the shit hits the fan. Yea, right, the police are the problem. fuck you.
Grow up
Say Class, not to worry, it's usually the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs that are reviled here, Cops are just the flavor of the day or minute, the cool aid drinkers are so into instant gratification hate they will change rivilee's on a dime. Just sayin, i ain't buggin out, i'll meet the scumbags on the banks of the red river or at the front door, which ever comes first.
OWS should get what they deserve?
Think of the children!

GOOD!! Fascist NY can burn.
THE FUCKS OF FAILURE LIVING IN NEW YORK EARNED ALL THE DIRTY COPS FROM ALL THE ORGANIZED CRIMINALS FUCKING UP EVERYONE ELSE'S LIVES.
Cops in NY is a paradox all to themselves.
ENJOY, YOU SPINELESS COWARDS EARNED IT IN SPADES AND BONUSES!
Next stop Chicago.
I refuse to visit the US. The last time I did was for my father's funeral, twelve years ago.
When European friends and associates are planning to visit nyc and ask me for advice, I tell them to stay away from the police on the street, because the police are the major danger to them. Of course, they look at me as if I was nuts but when they return home, they always are sure to tell me that I was correct and how disturbing it was to witness such behavior.
Watch how Canadians are treated on the way acroos the border to go shopping...

"when the officer tells you to sit down, you sit down.
on what grounds?
we don't need any grounds.
well, that's ridiculous.
okay, well, that's the United States.
when the officer tells you to do something, you do it, that's the United States."
etc.
this is amrka.
This is just another example of people giving up their rights in the interests of public safety. This is the problem with America...Americans.
The problem seems to be that most who claim to Love Liberty don't give a shit what's done to black people, plain and simple. And most of the remainder seem to celebrate it.
I was shocked to see this posted by a Liberty Movement head. Maybe there's hope after all.
I am getting a bit tired of the 'priveledged' running roughshod over us without consequence.
Bloomberg strikes again
http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/farm-reform-bloomberg-campaign-cash_2012-10-20.html
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg apparently isn't done advocating for former Gov. Angus King in Maine's Senate race.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Bloomberg -- the billionaire founder of his self-named financial data services and media empire -- is creating a super PAC to funnel $10 million to $15 million into select campaigns across the country in the weeks before the election.
The paper lists King's campaign among them.
If so, this will be the third time that Bloomberg has put his name and his money behind King, an independent still regarded as the race leader. The mayor, also an independent, has already given $500,000 to Americans Elect, a nonprofit that plans to spend at least $1.7 million on independent ads intended to help King. Bloomberg also hosted a fundraiser for the candidate in New York on Tuesday.
Federal law prohibits both Americans Elect and Bloomberg's Independence USA PAC from collaborating with the King campaign. Critics of those laws point out, however, that the prohibition is almost impossible to enforce.
