Stop-and-frisk as the most visible element of deep, violent official American racism

How in the world is Stop and Frisk still a thing? This should have been clobbered ages ago by a fourth amendment appeal. Are they really that good at only targeting people who can’t afford lawyers?

When I first heard about this happening in NY, my thought was “Yet another stupid law that sounds great to some paranoid old white voters in a campaign ad, but is going to be overturned by the courts in 6-12 months”, yet here we are in 2014 and it’s still happening. Seriously, WTF.
