From the NY Post:

The NYPD performed 575,304 “stop-and-frisk” patdowns last year — the most since the numbers have been released, the department revealed yesterday.

While it was an 8 percent jump from 2008, the percentage for each racial demographic stayed about the same.

Text continues after gallery …

Some 55 percent of those stopped last year were black, 32 percent Hispanic, 10 percent white and 3 percent Asian.

    Not to mention the FACT that police are a bunch of HOMOSEXUAL’s with a fetish for black people and want a reason to fondle us in the name of the law. Dont yall even LIE! I KNOW some of you have been stopped and frisked by police and felt like they enjoyed the shyt just a lil too much!

    Thats true CaliFemme

    I got pulled over one day for loud music. when I pulled over, I reached in my back pocket to get my licenses out my wallet. The police walked to my car and told me he stopped me for loud music, but he noticed I was moving in the front seat. I told him thats because I was getting my licenses out since I was getting pulled over. He then said that believed I had drugs on me and I stuffed it in my “crotch”. Not only did he grabbed me in my private area, he even told me to open my pants so he can make sure.

    I noticed he didnt search my car or called back-up like other the cops that searched me before, so I told him that he must be on some f****t s**t since he concetrating on my dick.

    After that I got locked up for obstruction of an officer and he never wrote me a ticket for the loud music.

    d*mn bumbleclot

    this morning some guy near where i lived got pulled over for guns and drugs. there were about 13 pig cars outside so alot of people were standing outside watching. one of the white devil pigs ran across the street and just started beating and arrested one of the boys who were just looking. and then when the mother said dont beat my son like that, she got arrested. they came around to my boyfriend (who was just standing on his own lawn) and tried to get at him too. and the f*cking captain was even there watching the beating. and the captain wouldnt allow my boyfriend to get the badge number of the officer doing the beating. all the pigs there were white devils. so i will continue to say f*ck white devils and especially white devils in blue….

    Unfortunately most of us dress like suspects. Cops do kind of suck but if we all dress like the guy who mugged that lady, what do you think will happen.

    And these statistics and/or actions should be surprising why?
    I don’t have to live in NY to know that police like to find reasons to pull minorities over… ESPECIALLY if there are just a few that gather together. They know we have strength in numbers and therefore want to tear it down before it gets too high.
    As far as the homosexual commentary goes, I haven’t experienced it myself, but I wouldn’t doubt it.
