No, not lucky for you if you’re a New Yorker.

The police never stopped and frisked people on the basis of their ethnicity: it was on the basis of their behavior, just as it was in the case of Trayvon Martin.

Many black and Hispanic livery cab drivers in NYC are armed, and I’m sure the NYPD is perfectly aware of this...and they’re not stopped and frisked. But the 14 year old (who had already shot somebody a year before) hanging out in a known drug location at 2:00 a.m. probably will be stopped and frisked.

It’s a pity the 14 yr old shot last week wasn’t stopped and frisked. He was shooting at another kid in the course of a drug deal and then turned his gun on the cops - but of course, according to his auntie, he was such a sweet boy.
