“A federal judge has ruled that the New York City Police Department’s heavily-criticized ‘stop and frisk’ approach to crimefighting is unconstitutional, the New York Times reported on Monday. The ruling by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin is the latest blow to the policy, which data suggests has not been effective in actually preventing shootings in the city while being decried for targeting Black and Latino men almost exclusively. Commissioner Ray Kelly had defended the policy, calling it ‘a fact of urban life’ in an August 2012 interview with a radio program geared toward teenagers.”
