Protesting NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy--MSNBC PhotoBlog
Opponents of the New York Police Department's controversial "stop-and-frisk" policy march on Friday in the Bronx borough of New York City. The NYPD says the stops assist crime prevention while opponents say they involve racial profiling and civil rights abuses. According to the New York Civil Liberties Union, during the first nine months of last year 514,461 city residents were stopped by the NYPD, of whom 451,469 were innocent (88 percent). Racially, 54 percent were black, 31 percent Latino and 9 percent white.

The campaign to end New York City's use of stop-and-frisk is part of the Stop Mass Incarceration Network. The Stop Mass Incarceration Network is building a movement to end the injustice of mass incarceration, police brutality and the racially biased policies and practices of the police, the courts and the U.S. legal system, and to support the rights of prisoners and the formerly incarcerated. Read the Stop Mass Incarceration's Vision Statement.
In New York City, the Stop Stop & Frisk Campaign engages in nonviolent civil disobedience to raise awareness for the need to end the NYPD's indiscriminate stop-and-frisk policy.
