7. Stop & Frisk

Is an outrage in this city and shows Bloomberg's true colors and why Kelley should never, ever, be appointed to head Homeland Security. Of the 250+ thousand stopped last year 94% were minorities. And Bloomberg's nonsense explanation that the minority community commits a greater number of the 500 murders in the city last year is such a load of gorp. Not one of those stopped committed one of those murders as far as I know.

What I think is necessary is an organization that not only funds but helps people acquire the ID needed under the stringent restrictions some states are enacting. redistricting and trying to stop people from voting is so short-sighted for as statisticians's have been saying, in time there will be more of the 'others' than them.
