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.
And again I say SO WHAT. Much better to save lives than to worry about hurting someone’s feelings because they felt targeted. Don’t want to be targeted? Start obeying the law.
