NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. judge ruled on Monday the New York Police Department's "stop-and-frisk" crime-fighting tactic was unconstitutional, dealing a stinging rebuke to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who vowed to appeal the ruling.U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin called it "indirect racial profiling" because it targeted racially defined groups, resulting in the disproportionate and discriminatory stopping of tens of thousands of blacks and Hispanics while the city's highest officials "turned a blind eye," she said."No one should live in fear of being stopped whenever he leaves his home to go about the activities of daily life," Scheindlin wrote in her opinion.
Damn. I didnt know NYC law was like that. Reminds me of that one scene in Superbad. Seth said something like "prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law". Reading some of the comments of course you have the left and right posting their thoughts.
Living in Texas, shit like that would never fly. We almost passed a law allowing us to carry guns at college campuses. More than half the people I know own a gun and alot have concealed carriers permits. I guess living in LA and NYC is on some different shit.
I hope this thread doesnt turn into race issues but it probably will haha. If Texas had the women NYC has then it would be the greatest state in the U.S.

The cycle of disrespect can start with just an appetizer.
