| 4. Misleading NYT Headline Puts False But Happy Spin On Racist Practice |

As already pointed out: If they're nine times as likely to be stopped and THEN arrested "at the same rate," it means any given Black or Latino man is
NINE TIMES AS LIKELY TO BE ARRESTED DUE TO A STOP AND FRISK
The headline is transparent double-think.
