Off-Topic: Donald Trump says he would implement nationwide stop and frisk policy, forgets controversial tactic was ruled unconstitutional in 2013
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-implement-nationwide-stop-frisk-policing-article-1.2801136 The NYPD reformed their use of the controversial practice after Manhattan Federal Court Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled in 2013 that the city's stop controversial program was unconstitutional. "This is a form of racial profiling," she wrote and ordered a monitor to oversee reforms. In fact, stop and frisk was disproportionately used against African-Americans and Latinos. According to the New York Civil Liberties Union, 83% of the people stopped under the practice in 2015 were black or Latino. Since 2002, when the NYCLU started keeping records, that number never fell below 80%. - - - --Lauren-- Care About Science and Tech?
