Original Note:
Stop-and-frisk was racist. Black and Latino people were 50% of NYC’s population but 84% of stops. From 2004–2012, 80% of 4.4M stops targeted them, yet Black New Yorkers were less likely than Whites to have weapons or contraband. https://civilrights.org/edfund/resource/nypds-infamous-stop-and-frisk-policy-found-unconstitutional/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-and-frisk_in_New_York_City https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0047235221000040
