I think we can all see the problem here, can't we?
And why anyone who is black or hispanic or has a bi-racial or multi-racial loved one might be concerned?

1. You could tell him & others like him til you're blue in the face

They don't care or whatever it is doesn't overrule the BS they think.

[Faux pas]

2. Oh wow!

Thanks for the stats!

3. I noticed an anomaly in the figures after 2011

The following years don't tell the percentage stopped and frisked ages 14-25. I am an old white man but I was stopped and frisked at least twice in Houston Texas when I was in that range of 14-25. I'll bet that the majority of whites which make up 10 to 12% of those stopped and frisked are in the age range of 14-25.

I see the use of this tactic against those who are functionally powerless against the might of the police. So the poor, people of color and the young. I was older than 14 when it happened to me but it left me with the bitter/sour taste of anger in my mouth. To this day I have little trust for an unknown police officer. If I know them I will judge them on that knowledge, but those that are strangers have to earn respect.

5. Dear Mr. Giuliani, sit down and STFU.

You are never going to be president.

6. Well, they sure keep good records.... reminds me of another extreme police state.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. Bazinga!

Exactly what I was thinking.

Wow, just the numbers of people, of any color, getting harassed by police per year is alarming.
