"IS" the nypd a "RACIST" police department ? also is it a racist department due to its stop and frisk "POLICY "
begin by defining "RACIST / RACISM " to see if it applies RACIST noun A PERSON who shows or feels discrimination or PRE-judice against people of other races or a PERSON who "BELIEVES" that a particular "race " ( group of people so labeled due to physical features ) is SUPERIOR to another .
the question
is synonymous in saying that ALL DOCTORS that work at the Mayo Clinic show feel or are prejudice again particular group of people and that DOCTORS BELIEVE they are a superior group due to their physical characteristics .. yet Doctors as a profession encompasses multiple groups of people
the DIRECTORS of the mayo clinic put into policy ALL PATIENTS will be examined from head to toe upon entering the facility instead what the NYPD policy may have ended up facilitating was SOME or MAJORITY of people who were subject to stop and frisk were TARGETTED not do to any behavior but rather merely due to their skin color
what may be considered RACIST is racial PROFILING the concentration and TARGETING a particular group of people merely based on their physical characteristics called PRE-JUDGING not on any action but rather physical appearance( ie skin color or racial features )

I think theyve learned a bit over time and incidents. I know the police in lis angeles did a bit of an about face after rodney king and oj
I personally think that the police should use rubber bullets, shoot legs as opposed to chest, and dont be such ******* that the infinitely armed officers need to or r entitled to shoot til their bulletproof armed butth0les dont feel 'threatened'

People can be racist- departments can't. The stop and frisk policy was criticized for being racist, and many police officers were not happy about it. It was only racist in the way it was implemented, with a large proportion of those stopped and frisked being African American. If a policy is applied evenly, it's not racist.

The police department as a whole is not racist, but almost all of those filthy pigs are.
