NYPD Commissioner admitted that cops target minorites in stop & frisk

[taft2012]

where heck did the police get the authority to preemptively stop crime?

From the same Supreme Court evidenciary rulings that decided 125 years after the Constitution was written that it was suddenly unreasonable and unconstitutional for police to search for evidence of a crime they suspected occurred. They make the rules. You're free to like some and dislike others, but they are the rules by which law enforcement operates.

And cross the line on the Constitution to stop and frisk without reason. Living in a high crime area is not a reason. and reasonable suspicion.

Enough with the strawman arguments. Nobody said it's Constitutional to frisk somone "without reason" or that living in a high crime amounts to reasonable suspicion.

And BTW How many people work on wall st.? Anyone checking the crime stats in that neighborhood? robberies, embezzlements, frauds, prostitution of all kinds, blackmail, drug abuse. Any NYPD doing any preemptive policing there?

Of course. You might want to Google that areas "Circle of Steel". It has the world's most sophisticated street camera security system.
