The 3 Brooklyn Neighborhoods at the Epicenter of Stop and Frisk
Williamsburg
Never to be left out of anything, at all, Williamsburg had the 5th most stops of the year. Out of 17,566 reported by the NYPD, 88.6% involved minorities, a relatively low number. As of yet, the NYPD has yet to explain its decision to release the data, but does, according to the Post, deny any charges that the insanely lopsided numbers are the result of any type of racial profiling. Just “reasonable suspicion.”
