58. A "Human rights" lawyer???

Oh way to go NYC cops! It is bad enough that you harass someone without probable cause and that that person is both a woman and a person of color, but bet you weren't expecting the bonus prize of her being a lawyer, a HUMAN RIGHTS lawyer.

How's that profiling thing working for you guys? Not only abusive, but evidently dumb as rocks.
