Like Nazi Germany: Federal Court says NYPD can Continue to Stop and Frisk Non-Whites For No Reason - Judge Removed
/
Movement Regulations/ID Measures. Similar to the changing demographics in the U.S between whites and non-whites - as the number of Jews or more specifically, Semites (non-white people) rose in Nazi Germany, Jews felt the effects of many decrees and regulations that restricted all aspects of their public and private lives. Various movement regulations and identification measures (like "Papers Please" laws) requiring Semites to wear a yellow star for instance enabled the police to pick up any Jew, anywhere, anytime. In the U.S. no such star is necessary - it is your skin color that identifies you as a target. [MORE] and [MORE]. White people practice racism to survive.
From [HERE] and [HERE] A federal appeals court on Thursday blocked a judge's ruling that found the New York Police Department's stop-and-frisk policy discriminated against minorities, and it took the unusual step of removing her from the case, saying interviews she gave during the trial called her impartiality into question.
The city applauded the appeals court's decision. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly (racist suspect in video), who was shouted down over the tactic by students during a speech at Brown University this week, said he was grateful for it.
"This is indeed an important decision for all New Yorkers and for the men and women of the New York City police department who work very hard day in and day out to keep this city safe," he said.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the ruling by U.S. District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin will be on hold pending the outcome of an appeal by the city. But it may be a nonissue after next week's mayoral election: Democrat Bill de Blasio, who's leading in polls, has said he would drop objections to the ruling, which calls for major changes to the police tactic.
The judge decided in August the city violated the civil rights of tens of thousands of blacks and Hispanics by disproportionally stopping, questioning and sometimes frisking them. She assigned a monitor to help the police department change its policy and training programs on the tactic.
The three-judge panel heard arguments Tuesday. Lawyers in the case said the police department hasn't had to do anything except meet with a monitor since the judge's decision, but the city said police officers are afraid to stop and frisk people now and the number of stop-and-frisks has dropped dramatically.
The appeals panel didn't change the deadline for the appeal and said it expected arguments in March, well after the new mayor takes office.
It said Scheindlin needed to be removed because she ran afoul of the code of conduct for U.S. judges by misapplying a ruling that allowed her to take the case and by giving media interviews and making public statements responding to criticism.
Scheindlin said in a statement later Thursday she consented to the interviews under the condition she wouldn't comment on the ongoing case.
"And I did not," she said.
She said some reporters used quotes from written opinions that gave the appearance she had commented on the case but "a careful reading of each interview will reveal that no such comments were made."
