It sounds like a frisky little puppy.
But what does "stop and frisk" consist of?
Do they ever spread-eagle suspects along a wall? Do they put suspects forcibly on the ground with a knee in the back, in order to handcuff them?
I'm not sure "Stop and Frisk" is the best description of the procedure used by the NYC Police Dept and declared "unconstitutional" by a judge yesterday?
In the last 8 years, since 2004, over 3,000,000 people in NYC have been "stopped and frisked" and let go with no charges. Does that sound OK with you?

(1,494 posts)worked for the government, If I would have done anything remotely more than a Terry frisk, I would have been bounced out. And what they are doing is NOT the definition of a Terry Frisk that I was taught.

(13,081 posts)Or, instead of "stop and frisk," how about "a racist policy of harassment instigated by fascist dogs and executed by fascist pigs?" I think I'll go with that one.
