It's my understanding that the beef isn't only that blacks get stopped more when looking for specific perps, but that blacks are frisked much more often during random stops than whites are.
i'd like to know, in how many of those stops by police did the person getting stopped give the cops a REASON to frisk them?
Yes, and also how many of those frisks resulted in convictions for crimes.Quote:
