Law Enforcement: Cent and Law

law enforcement: However, it is quite clear that although most black people obey the law, they are consistently singled out by law enforcement, according to The Waterloo Record. In the NYPD stop-and-frisk program, 53 per cent of those stopped in the last decade were black; 11 per cent were white. The letter writer based much of his argument on their belief that if only black people obeyed the law, they would be free from discrimination. Of all New Yorkers, 25 per cent are black, 45 per cent are white. Too many innocent black men are killed by police, such as Philando Castile, who was shot with his hands raised in his car as his daughter was in the back seat. Nearly all of those stopped were obeying the law at the time, only six per cent resulted in arrest. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
