Watching Certain People
by Bob Herbert
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/0…"From 2004 through 2009, in a policy that has gotten completely out of control, New York City police officers stopped people on the street and checked them out nearly three million times, frisking and otherwise humiliating many of them.
"Upward of 90 percent of the people stopped are completely innocent of any wrongdoing."
"Not only are most of the people innocent, but a vast majority are either black or Hispanic. "
"This is a massive database of innocent, overwhelmingly black and Latino people,” said Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union."
____I'm posting it because it's not just a huge horrible mess, but I'm looking for the conservative and Tea Party sympathizer perspective here. This is an active display of government over-reaching its authority and building a database of innocent citizens...
...Right?
