3.7 STOP-AND-FRISKS SINCE SHE BECOME SPEAKER OF CITY COUNCIL
Since she became Speaker of City Council, over 3.7 million New Yorkers have been stopped and frisked. Why is this acceptable ?
Join us as we march and make the demand that City Council defund the NYPD of the resources to continue their unconstitutional practice of stopping and frisking mostly innocent people of color.
Bring whistles. We will meet at 74th Street and Roosevelt Ave. in Jackson Heights, Queens. We will then march along Roosevelt Ave. — and blow our whistles on stop-and-frisk !
Speaker Quinn seems to play a budget game with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, which follows tactics that scare people into thinking that the mayor will cut the NYPD budget. But it is all a game to score political points with voters, and it has nothing to do with real public safety or protection of our civil liberties and civil rights.
