Old news.
Supervisors telling their grunts to bump stop and frisk numbers up goes back a decade at least.
Honestly i see no problem with it having walked those streets at night. Proactive policing is why hipsters were able to take over Brooklyn. Look back at 1970s and 1980s New York. It was a lawless nightmare of murder, dirty hookers at every corner and real corruption within the department.
Then the cops go out and actually do their jobs, be it profile a bit, but get the scum off the streets, and everyone is up in arms.
You can’t have a city like New York virtually crime free without doing old fashioned civil rights violating police work.
It would be impossible.
Just look at Chicago where they got rid of stop and frisk. Go to the South side and there is a gun related murder every night.
