I think it was Heather MacDonald from the WSJ that had some very good articles on NYC crime, and “Stop Question and Frisk”.
According to the FBI data
https://nypost.com/2012/05/22/stop-frisk-facts/
Blacks are 53 percent of stop subjects, though they are 23 percent of the citys population. Whites are 9 percent of stop subjects, though they are 35 percent of the citys population. Therefore, conclude Stringer and others, the NYPD targets individuals for stops based on their race rather than on crime patterns and suspicious behavior.
Here is what the anti-cop critics never divulge: Blacks are 66 percent of all violent-crime suspects, according to the victims of and witnesses to those crimes. Blacks commit around 70 percent of all robberies and about 80 percent of all shootings in the city. Add Hispanic shooters, and you account for 98 percent of all shootings in the city.
Whites, by contrast, were only 5 percent of all violent crime suspects in 2011. According to victim and witness reports, they commit barely over 1 percent of all shootings and less than 5 percent of all robberies.

Brownsville, Brooklyn, is a particular target of the anti-police advocates for its stop rate. Why is there more enforcement activity there? Because thats where thugs are killing people.
The per-capita shooting rate in Brownsville is 81 times higher than in nearby Bay Ridge.
LOL - I have to believe this because it's too strange for anyone to make up...
According to the FBI data, among murderers whose race we knew, almost 44 percent of murderers were white. Unfortunately, the FBI doesnt break down the Hispanic murderers by race, but even if we assume all Hispanic murderers were white, about 23 percent of murderers were non-Hispanic whites.
