Federal Court Judge Shira Scheindlin just sent a strong message to Mayor Bloomberg and NYC....Your current policy is racially motivated and thus unconstitutional! In her decision, the Presiding Judge did not go as far as scrapping the entire policy, but did appoint a monitor to analyze, oversee and revamp the City's policy. The Court found overwhelming evidence that a disproportionate number of those stopped and frisked were male, African-Americans and Latinos. Mayor Bloomberg has vowed to continue an appellate fight...Which most certainly will be a "losing battle".
For now, all I can say is Judge Scheindlin, you rock!
