Remember When Obama Took The Guns?

To the rest: the program caught flack because they targeted certain races and not "criminals".  Had it been implemented in a way to avoid targeting one race and still be as successful there would have been less flack.  Along with a question about how effective the program was in lowering violent crime.

Awesome, that last graphic shows that the racial breakdown is about equal to the prison demographic breakdown.  Not sure why race should be an element when considering a "stop and frisk" of "known criminals", but somehow it is.  

Let me put it to you differently.  Step out of your insulated life, and go spend a day or two on the street.  Go to all sections of town, don't just spend time in "the hood".  Watch for yourself who is perpetrating on who.  I'm a Surveyor, I'm outside a lot.  I see lots of stuff that I wish I did not, during the natural course of my job..
