The New York Choke Hold Case

[simplemoss]

I live in NYC (the Bronx) I have been a victim of "stop and frisk" multiple times or as it should be referred to as "unlawful search and seizure".

I once was (justifiably) stopped for public urination. Now i fully cooperated with the officer and was completely respectful BUT I'm a fairly big guy, like Gardner, and the police officer that caught me was fairly little, small enough that I could've picked him up by his neck and thrown him over a fence.

So he (justifiably) calls for back up but instead of 2 guys in 1 car showing up, over 12 officers showed up with a police van as if they were arresting a mob. After being searched twice and questioned for over an hour by over dozen a dozen members of the nypd I eventually was let go with $30 ticket. This is just one story, my story, but I could go on for hours telling all the horror stories I've heard about NYC police from my friends and neighbors.

Most people.in poor neighborhoods , because of this, teach their kids that the police are not your friends, they are the enemy

Bottom line NYC police are the most abusive and corrupt in the USA
