Turns out that New York City's anti-racial-profiling law isn't worth squat.
Which is pretty much the way that they wanted it when they enacted it. It was a measure to assuage the feelings of people whom the NYPD treats as serfs without in any way limiting the ability of the NYPD to continue to trample all over the rights of minorities.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Came across an interesting statistic. Crime today in NYC is less than in 1961. Arrests and imprisonment of minorities today in NYC is less than in 1961. Yet in 1961 minorities were 26% of NYC's population, while today they're over 50% of NYC's population. In other words, the NYPD's reign of terror hasn't resulted in a corresponding increase in arrests and imprisonment of minorities -- in fact, that rate is less than *half* what it was in 1961, on a per-capita basis. I'm not quite sure what to think, other than that things are more complicated than "NYPD bad".
ReplyDeleteI am aware of that statistic. The defenders of the NYPD have pointed to it as proof that the NYPD's policy of "frisk all brown-skinned males" is working.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that the wide availability of contraception methods that did not exist fifty years ago has a lot more to do with it. Having fewer juvies and young adults walking around who have a huge chip on their shoulders from growing up unwanted is probably a good thing for society.
