"People want more". Yeah, the people who *aren't* getting stopped and frisked.

Great post. Thanks for the sift. Lot of evil done in the name of good.

This shit always makes me sick. Needs to stop.

This is as stupid and counter-productive as NCLB. And it's what happens when you try to run society as a capitalist business.

Just vote the Mayor and the chief of police out.

This program is the result of a systemic problem. Voting in a new Mayor or police chief to fix police abuse would be like trying to fix the economy by voting in a new president. It's just going to crash, over and over and over and over and over.

That's why NY and NJ ACLU released a cellphone apps http://www.nyclu.org/app & http://www.aclu-nj.org/yourrights/the-app-place/ that records police interactions and automatically uploads it to ACLU's website so that if cops try to delete that recording from your phone, there's a backup copy.

Seems to me a big part of the problem is police looking to meet some sort of quota. Shouldn't police performance be related to the level of crime and not the number of arrests?
