2014 the arrest rate for stop and frisk was 19%. That's nearly 1 in 5 of the people they stopped were guilty of something. That's a tad bit more than your 3%. In fact, there wasn't a year of less than 10%. That's pretty damn high to me. Is it worth it, go do some digging and see if there's any evidence of the impact on the violent crime rate.
In terms of it being unconstitutional, the courts didn't squash the policy and they're the ones who decide that statement.
In terms of what Knopp said, it's off-topic and isn't really pertinent to the stop and frisk policies.
Stop and frisk is simply unconstitutional. You guys do know that right? I believe they got like a 3% arrest rate meaning 97% of the people stopped and frisked were completely innocent.
*You guys*? I noted that you can't just stop and search people because you want to.
The blame lies in the 95% unemployment rate, among blacks in the city.
Yep.
It's been that way for years after the manufacturing jobs left a lot of our city centers. Instead of more jobs they pushed drugs into the communities and instead of being offered opportunities blacks were denied opportunities.

'i believe' didn't stand up very well against actual data, did it?..
"Sometimes we don't want to hear the truth... It is our black and Hispanic people who are the ones committing the crimes," he says.
This may be true. There are few unwilling to hear that. Mr Diaz doesn't want to understand the truth that you can't just stop people on the street and search them without a reason.
There was a bunch of white's down on Wall Street that committed crimes and were allowed to get away with it also. Do you accuse me of being off topic? I'm not. It's all related.
Lol.
We can't even stop them for investigation, let alone "search em"

It's not unconstitutional in fact it is constitutional. A very liberal judge ruled some aspects were unlawful but she was unusually sanctioned by a higher court for basically being so transparently biased. If the city went through with an appeal good chance her entire verdict would be tossed out.
The city could do stop and frisk today if it chose to do so.
