'Stop & Frisk' and Racist Policing: Cops Arrest Man 56 Times for Trespassing - At His OWN Job - Terrorizing Blacks To Inflate Arrest Stats

Earl Simpson being arrested at his place of employment for "Trespassing." The
store owner installed a camera to document police harassment.

In the city of Miami Gardens, outside of Miami, FL, the police use aggressive campaigns of stop-and-frisk and absurd arrests to bolster their records, to the great detriment of the African-American majority who live there. For example, a young man named Earl Sampson has been stopped by Miami Gardens police 258 times; they've searched him more than 100 times; and they've arrested him for trespassing 56 times. He's never been convicted of anything apart from simple possession of small amounts of marijuana.

NYPD Officer Risks His Job to Speak Out Against "Stop-and-Frisk" Targeting of People of Color

Hero Cop Blew the Lid Off of the NYPD's Racially Discriminatory "Stop-and-Frisk" Practices  and he Backed Up his Claims with Audio Recordings Documenting "Stop-and-Frisk" Quotas 

By Amy Goodman and Nermeen Shaikh, Democracy Now!

Officer Adhyl Polanco saw "Stop-and-Frisk" in practice for himself when his bosses at the NYPD told him and fellow officers they had to meet "Stop-and-Frisk" quotas or face punishment.

Village Voice Cover Story

Polanco made surreptitious recordings of his commanders
describing the quota system. He eventually provided the
recordings to various media outlets including in the Village
Voice which published excerpts. He also served as a key 
witness for "Stop-and-Frisk" victims who challenged the
constitutionality of the practice in court. Office Polanco
was suspended with pay for several years after he publicized
the "Stop-and-Frisk" quotas and when he returned to work
he was placed on "modified duty." Polanco points out that
even he was "Stopped-and-Frisked" as a cop who was
simply on his way to work.
