Phily's Stop & Frisk and Demmented Cops

Dear friends,

About Stop & Frisk policies: If in fact the issue/excuse is citizens' safety as the reason for local police departments doing it, then how does violating both the human and civil rights of, especially, African American and Latino men and boys make the aforementioned males feel more safe?

I mean, are they deserving of such a violation of their dignity, along with being humiliated, by being condemned to the abuse of insecure, and often demented, police officers/other citizens (e.g., George Zimmerman)?

This all reminds me of the idea by our government that it is okay to murder people in the Middle East and Africa, because they may bring some harm to Americans somewhere. Yet, Is there a single human being on this planet who has an inkling about what anyone else’s intentions are?

Finally, to violate that person totally based upon the color of his or her skin is criminal!
