Unfortunately, city lawyers pay far too much to them & their bottom-feeding lawyers.
The lawsuits will continue. It's a tactic by drug dealers & gangbangers.
No, they won't continue. Stop and Frisk was a movement financed by George Soros. The drug dealers and gangbangers never had any ability to file such a lawsuit in the first place. Surely you don't believe inner city thugs could find lawyers capable to taking their case to court to do a constitutional challenge do you? Why do you think people who in the past who were normally ignored got media coverage? Put it like this, they had no contacts to have any media coverage. Someone connected to the media funded them (Soros).
The only lawyers these guys typically get are public defenders. This lawsuit (Stop and Frisk) was done to change public policy. Since there is no big cash settlement, the lawyers took this case with some form of pay, funding by Soros and the Democrats. Notice Stop and Frisk became a huge issue in two years before the mayoral election. The Democrats saw this a chance to recapture City Hall in NYC, and they succeeded. So now the stop and frisk people on the street will be dropped as easily as OWS was. They were SUCKER played by Soros and the Democrats.
Those will trade their liberty for security deserve neither.
Anyway, I'm glad NYC's crime is so much lower but I'm not sure a police state is worth it, and the city seems like it's only for rich yuppies now. There's not nearly as much character as there was in the 70s, 80s and even 90s.

Nothing lasts forever. Not the 70s and 80s New York, not the Giuliani era, and not Bloomberg's police state era. Living in the past of any time period doesn't do you any good.
There was a shooting JUST A few hours ago at the Joyce Kilmer park, right at Walton Ave. About 10 shots. In the area where certain people say is "good".
There's such a simple solution - body cameras. If a cop treats you disrespectfully, you get $ from the city. If you have a gun, you end up in jail.
That wont do anything either. Look what happened to Eric Garner. NYPD needs a outside third party oversight team that holds them accountable for their bullshish
