They are harassed, fisked in what they say “ breathtaking numbers .” More than 45,000 people were stopped and harassed by member’s of the street crime unit in 1997 throughout 1998. Over more then ten thousand people were arrested due to specious acts. Bob Herbert introduces Mayor Giuliani from New York, and how he states that “ The stop are driven by the descriptions of the person who committed the crime.” (Giuliani 1) But as Herbert says “ Spare me. The vast majority of these stop are in no way connected to the commission to specific crime, and the mayor knows it. They are arbitrary and unconscionable on the right of New Yorkers who are supposed to be protected, not humiliated, by the polices.” ( Herbert 2) This just shows how members of the public officials do not want to admit that what their polices men are doing isn’t right. Even someone as a high authority the New York City may Rudolph Giuliani, knows is wrong, yet isn’t doing one thing about it. He would rather have police making multiple mistaken identity pull them over have them do whatever they want to do, then rather saying that what is going on with his polices men are wrong.

“...Much of the recent crime increase threatens the vitality of America’s cities–and thousands of lives–it is not, in itself, the greatest danger in today’s war on cops.

The source has limitations because it strictly gives the background of the history of policing strategies to reducing crime. Jeffrey Rosen uses former Mayor Giuliani’s quotes and worked closely with transit-police authority. I would be able to use quotes from this article because it relates to my topic, being in New York and dealing with stop and frisk. My final questions for Rosen would include, why did he not mention more about these policing strategies tie in with Supreme Court cases? Did the Supreme Court tell former Mayor Giuliani to get a more strict policing policy to increase the UF-250 forms?

There is data that has been collected from 2002 to 2015 that reveals how many Black, Latino, and White people in New York that were stopped and frisked. Throughout those 13 years, approximately 5 million were stopped and interrogated and about 9 out of every 10 stopped were innocent. Not only that, but Blacks accounted for roughly 50 percent of those stopped and Latinos made up approximately 30 percent, while Whites made up about 10 percent. (Stop-and-Frisk Data) Since this clearly demonstrates that stopping random people because of “suspicious activity” is ineffective, why keep doing it?

Throughout history, disputes and tensions between law enforcement officials and communities of minorities have endured hostility and violence between each other. Racial profiling has become a “hot topic” for researchers as well as for politicians and by now it is likely that most citizens are at least aware of the common accusations of racial bias pitted against law enforcement (Cochran & Warren, 2013). Communities of color are being discriminated against and racially profiled by white police officers for any suspicion of criminal activities. It has been widely assumed by policy makers and citizens alike that allegations of racial profiling are mostly associated with the policing practices of white officers and their treatment of racial and ethnic minorities (Cochran & Warren, 2013). Also, individuals of minority descent will certainly recognize that they are being racially profiled during a stop that is being conducted by a white police officer.

“The average police response time in 2012 was 9.1 minutes, compared to 6.9 minutes in 2007 in New York City, an increase of 31 percent (NY Post),” and this does not include the time between placing and answering calls. The massive increase in response time is threating the safety of the residents of New York City, and while the government is introducing new plans to help alleviate the problem, their solutions are not working. Public safety is a public good; it is non-excludable because everyone in the city is theoretically guaranteed help from public safety officials and theoretically it is also non-rivalrous because there are enough police officers, firefighters, and EMTs to take care of any number of emergencies that occur in the city. There is a threshold until which public safety acts as a public good, but once that threshold has been reached, it transitions into a common good, because some people have to wait an exceedingly large
