NYPD Data Proves White People Are More Likely To Possess Drugs Or A Weapon Than Racial Minorities When Stopped, Yet 84% of Stop & Frisk Victims Are Black/Latino

During the just-concluded trial on the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk program, the city argued that officers’ disproportionate targeting of black and Latino New Yorkers was not due to racial profiling but because each stopped individual was doing something suspicious at the time. The data, however, tells a different story: weapons and drugs were more often found on white New Yorkers during stops than on minorities, according to the Public Advocate’s analysis of the NYPD’s 2012 statistics.

White New Yorkers make up a small minority of stop-and-frisks, which were 84 percent black and Latino residents. Despite this much higher number of minorities deemed suspicious by police, the likelihood that stopping an African American would find a weapon was half the likelihood of finding one on a white person.

• The likelihood a stop of an African American New Yorker yielded a weapon was half that of white New Yorkers stopped. The NYPD uncovered a weapon in one out every 49 stops of white New Yorkers. By contrast, it took the Department 71 stops of Latinos and 93 stops of African Americans to find a weapon.

• The likelihood a stop of an African American New Yorker yielded contraband was one-third less than that of white New Yorkers stopped. The NYPD uncovered contraband in one out every 43 stops of white New Yorkers. By contrast, it took the Department 57 stops of Latinos and 61 stops of African Americans to find contraband.

It’s unlikely that the appropriate lesson to take from these findings is that stops of white people should increase because they are more likely to carry weapons and drugs. Rather, they suggest that police are excessively targeting minorities. Officers may be netting more successful stops of white New Yorkers because they are only likely to stop a white person when they actually suspect that person of committing a crime. Considering one officer’s testimony that superiors explicitly directed him to target young black men, minorities are judged by a much more flexible definition of “reasonable suspicion.”

In general, stop-and-frisk has proven to be remarkably ineffective; nearly 89 percent of all stops result in no charges. The city has also had to settle a surging number of civil rights lawsuits against police to the tune of $22 million in one year.

“My name is Nixiwaka Yawanawá and I am a Yawanawá Indian from Brazil.

I will soon be climbing a mountain in Scotland with some other supporters of Survival International, to raise awareness of the plight of the Awá tribe from Brazil. The Awá are the Earth’s most threatened tribe. Illegal loggers, ranchers and settlers are destroying their forest and chasing away their animals. They are finding it more and more difficult to hunt for food.

The situation is particularly difficult for uncontacted Awá. They depend on the forest for their survival and are vulnerable to diseases brought in by outsiders – a common cold could kill them. Uncontacted Indians near my community in western Brazil are also facing serious threats from illegal loggers.

I’m very excited about climbing the mountain - as I am the first Amazon Indian to climb Ben Nevis! I think it will be a great way for me to highlight the problems that my brothers the Awá are facing.

Please help me to fundraise for Survival, a charity that is working to help my people.”

triviabitch:

the fact that people seriously debate whether gentrification exists and whether its a good or bad thing makes it pretty clear how many people value white people’s comfort and access to wine bars and artisanal cheese over POCs ability to, you know, live indoors

we are not talking about overcrowding or lack of housing, we’re talking about homes being demolished to make space for a Whole Foods, and POC being forced out of the city once the rent skyrockets
