YouTube Description:
Manhattan borough president, a state senator, along with civil rights advocates call on federal authorities to step in to keep minority New Yorkers safe from the NYPD. Last year the NYPD stopped and frisked a record 600,000 New Yorkers most of which were young minorities in the name of keeping the streets safe. Just a few days ago wiretaps recorded an NYPD cop saying " I Fried another Nigger" implying that he had falsely arrested yet another black man using the stop and frisk practice as an excuse to make the arrest. NYPD officers Adrian Schoolcraft and Adil Polanco blew the whistle on the Stop and Frisk program along with a quota system that pressures police to make arrest and write summons. Police are threatened with transfers to other precincts , loss off sick days, or even job layoffs if they don't bring back the required number of tickets and arrest. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly is defending this practice by saying it saves lives even though the NYPD's own records show that weapons are found less that 1% of the time.
