BLACK TEENS PROFILED - PART 2
Today, the New York Daily News has reported that 5 Transit cops have confirmed that they were ordered to racially profile (read: stop) ALL black men near a Brooklyn train station. As posted yesterday, there have been recent robberies near this subway station, which prompted a police captain to order that all black teens be treated as potential suspects.
According to the Daily News, one white officer stated:
“The captain said the descriptions of the [suspects] vary a lot, so we were to stop all black males at the station, stop and frisk them because ‘they have no reason being there’…all black men were to be stopped—no description other than that…so some 30 – 40 year old man who had every right to be at the station – he’d get frisked too.”
