American citizens are being targeted. Why isn't Barack Obama suing the NYPD?

Why do you care. Enough crocodile tears

Civil-rights advocates claim the practice unfairly targets innocent blacks and other people of color, and that many stops are made without proper cause.

This has been going on in NY since Giulliani came to be Mayor under the banner of anti-crime.

He was called a racist, a facist and so on and so forth but the crime rate PLUMMETED. This is largely forgotten post-911.

Bloomberg's been described as being uncaring about the citizens of NYC but maybe he's coming around. He seems to be taking a page from Rudy G . and is trying to put a dent in crime. The stop and frisk program is a good program, glad its being utilized.

Liberals often claim to oppose nanny-statism, but lets face it, the liberal areas of the country invariably drift towards nanny-statism, NY and California being prime examples.

If you don't want to be subject to being frisked then don't look or act like a criminal.

Didn't know there was a way for someone to look or act like a criminal. Oh, yeah, that's right..........you just have to be a certain age and a certain color to look or act like a criminal. Glad we cleared that up.
