    Just like stop-and-frisk.

    As a reminder, stop-and-frisk was an unconstitutional and totally ineffective police initiative intended to quell gun violence pioneered in NY.

    According to the 2010 Census, the NYC total population was 8,175,133:

    33% were white
    27% were latin
    23% were black
    13% were asian
    3% were bi-racial
    1% were something else

    At its height of stop-and-frisk in 2011 NY recorded 685,724 stops. The results:

    88% were innocent
    53% were black
    34% were latin
    87% were black or latin
    9% were white
    51% were aged 14-24
    41% were black and/or latin males aged 14-24
    90% of black and/or latin males were innocent

    In other words, even when cops targeted young black and latin men in targeted neighborhoods, non-black non-latin men in non-targeted neighborhoods were more likely criminals.

    In 2012, under pressure to police more fairly, there were 532,911:

    89% were innocent
    55% were black
    32% were latin
    87% were black or latin
    10% were white
    26% were black males aged 14-24
    15% were latin males aged 14-24
    41% were black and/or latin males aged 14-24
    4% were white males aged 14-24
    700% or so more arrests were for marijuana possession than for guns

    ...Even though it was a crime only to possess marijuana in "public view." Funny how they considered it possessed in "public view" when it was hidden in a pocket until the frisk.

    In other words, the vast majority of crimes by black and latin teens and young men were for marijuana possession, probably the result of an unlawful search.

    Blacks and latins were stopped and frisked at about 10 times as often as whites. They were 87% of the stops. It only stands to reason that led to many more arrests. Of course it produced skewed results. It does not indicate blacks and latins were more likely to be a criminal or possess drugs. If they were any less than 87% of the arrests it would suggest they are less likely, not more.

    Black, latin, and white teens and young men are equally likely to use drugs.

    Facts don't lie.

    Sommaya younguns have a lot to learn. You can get there. I suggest more time much farther from home.

    If you don't get the analogy you have bigger problems.
