From [HERE] and [HERE] During the NYPD stop & frisk trial yesterday officer Pedro Serrano testified that he was told by superiors to target young black men between the ages of 14 and 21.
To substantiate his claim he presented the Court a recording of a converation between himself and his commanding officer, Deputy Inspector Christopher McCormack, a racist suspect. Serrano, who is Latino, recorded the conversation and played it back in open court during his testimony. Both offiers are from the 40th Precinct in the South Bronx, a command that recorded the highest number of police stops in the Bronx in 2011.
Deputy Inspector McCormack, urged the officer to be more active, emphasizing the need to conduct more street stops. “We go out there and we summons people,” Inspector McCormack said. The way to suppress violent crime, he said, was for officers to stop, question and, if necessary, frisk “the right people at the right time, the right location.”
“The problem was, what, male blacks,” Inspector McCormack said. “And I told you at roll call, and I have no problem telling you this, male blacks 14 to 20, 21.”
On the recording he is ordering Officer Pedro Serrano to target non-white males who wear dark clothing. Listen for yourself. [What is the counter-racist response to this information? Don't wear dark clothing, that is what they are looking for. To the extent that racist/white supremacist police officers are involved you are a mark, a public enemy, especially if you wear black. Play defense and wear something else.]
According to NYPD records, police made 685,724 stops as part of the policy in 2011 alone. In total, they have made over 5 million stops, and 85 percent of those stopped were black or Latino.
This has Happened Before. In other words, here is more evidence that the NYPD has ordered its overseers (officers) to violate the Constitutional rights of non-whites as a matter of policy. This of course is of no moment for many white people or their media, who seem supportive or indifferent to such practices of white supremacy (like ID "Papers Please" laws).
Similarly, during Nazi Germany prior to the Holocaust, a substantial part of the population considered it desirable, acceptable or unavoidable that certain "other" people would be isolated, persecuted and killed. [MORE] Such attitudes were a necessary precondition for the Genocide of Jews or more specifically, Semites (as persons who were referred to in Germany and throughout Europe as Semites, the Jews were not considered to be white people or aryans. Semites were considered to have their genetic roots amongst Africans - Black people on the continent of Africa [MORE]).
As the number of semites rose in Nazi Germany, various movement regulations and identification measures were undertaken by the Government. Semites felt the effects of many decrees and regulations that restricted all aspects of their public and private lives. [MORE] and [MORE] Similar demographic changes are taking place in the US.
4th Amendment Not Real for Non-Whites. The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, although only one sentence long, protects people against unjustified detentions by the government. It reads:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
In order for the police to stop you the Supreme Court has ruled that police must have reasonable articulable suspicion that there is criminal activity afoot and the person detained is involved in the activity.
In order to frisk you the Supreme Court has ruled that the police must have independent reasonable articulable suspicion that the person is armed and dangerous before they may touch you (a cursory patdown for weapons). Police may not act on on the basis of an inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or a hunch - there must be some specific articulable facts along with reasonable inferences from those facts to justify the intrusion. Clearly, these rules are only intended for white people. [MORE] and [MORE]
