It’s only whiny grievance race mongers and bicoastal elitist eggheads supported by the biased media that drives this ridiculous narrative. You can’t decrease crime without targeting the criminals
Something tells me that there would be less objections if they targeted Wall Street investment bankers in 3 piece suits to search for cocaine
Again, your characterization of it being just an inconvenience is meaningless UNTIL IT ACTUALLY IS YOU who is stopped daily just for walking down the street. It is so, so easy to say, "if I were in that position," when you know full d*** well you AREN'T, AND LIKELY NEVER WILL BE, in that position. (If you are the exception, fine, but we will never know)

Target criminals all you like. Not every single brown person in the city is or was a criminal yet they are who were targeted by stop and frisk.
