NYdailynews on current day stop and frisk
NYPD self-reporting ctime stats for July
It's kinda wild after all of this we still have stop and frisk in 2023. A quarter of all stops are unconstitutional. Undoubtedly certain neighborhoods are being over-policed and are even praised for their "compliance" results.
But cops are recordinf many more unique datapoints and community overwatch.
- Yep, thank Rudy for that.
  
  Rudy was 20 years ago. Sure, he was the Michelangelo of racist policing policies. But today, Eric Adams is capitalizing on the same policing techniques while using reactionary language around entirely new issues.
  "activist" D.A. who didn't criminally prosecute smalltime shoplifters for ~6 months.
  adopting reformist talking points while doing nothing new
  post-COVID crime wave that is, while sometimes more visible and a source of chaos, being framed to just pump money into NYPD.
“I know that the calendar says 2022. But a return to ‘broken-windows’ policing makes me feel like it’s 1994 and Rudy Giuliani is the mayor, stop-and-frisk is out of control, and the N.Y.P.D. is harassing Black and brown New Yorkers.” - Assemblywoman Latrice M. Walker

Eric Adams is walking this Centrist line. Being charitable, he's using the same techniques while removing the most abusive officers. But is he, or is it rhetoric? Feels like every word he says is just figuring out how to get away with offering us the same predatory policing as always.
I'm not gonna read the article and just assume this is because white people are the good guys. I've seen Hollywood movies and now know that white Americans are always the hero. Hollywood wouldn't lie to us.
