Appeals Court upholds Stop & Frisk Ruling [Stopping, Frisking, Demanding Id & Detaining Non-whites for No Valid Legal Reason is still Unlawful]

From [HERE] The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Friday upheld [text, PDF] a lower court ruling that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) [official website] stop and frisk program [text] program was carried out in a discriminatory manner. The court refused to throw out the lower court ruling written by Judge Shira Scheindlin simply because she was removed from the case. In the ruling, the three-judge panel reasoned the city would be able to pursue their issues with Scheindlin's ruling on appeal. The court also addressed claims by Scheindlin that there was not enough in the record to support her removal ruling the appeals panel reviewed all relevant facts in coming to the decision. This ruling effectively ends Mayor Bloomberg's [official website] attempts to vacate [JURIST report] the changes to the program. This means Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio [official website] will be tasked with addressing the issue.

In a white supremacy system will racial targeting ever stop? That this law allows cops to stop, frisk, demand identification and detain non-white people is deception. Police will find another way. The operating system (OS) of White supremacy is the cause and effect of white people's genocidal conduct towards non-whites; recent incidents are part of this observable pattern. Neely Fuller explains that a "non-law" is any law that is used in such a manner as to promote injustice. Stop and frisk is such a law or policy. It is non-law and a non-issue; the Supreme Court ruled decades ago that police may not stop anyone on the basis of skin color. Here, it is the application of Stop & Frisk by racist cops with the support of a racist suspect Mayor and racist suspect white citizens (poll) that creates injustice for non-whites. 

In order for the police to stop you the Supreme Court has ruled that police must have a reasonable articulable suspicion that there is criminal activity afoot and the person detained is involved in the activity. In order to frisk you the Supreme Court has ruled that police must have independent, reasonable articulable suspicion that the person is armed and dangerous before they may touch you (a cursory patdown of outer clothing for weapons). Police may not act on on the basis of an inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or a hunch - there must be some specific articulable facts along with reasonable inferences from those facts to justify the intrusion.[MOREClearly, these rules are only intended for white people.

In a white supremacy system all white people should be suspected of being racists. [MORE] Student Armani Madison may have got it right when he advised, ‘“always dress nicely.” “Don’t walk too quickly.” “Be polite, and say ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ if they speak to you.” “Do not give them a reason to stop you.” “Do not raise your voice if they question you.” ‘They” are the police.

To the extent that you might be dealing with a racist police officer, attempt to comply with orders. In face to face confrontations with police, white supremacy is your reality. All of your so-called rights may be dealt with later in court - should they allow it. Nevertheless, avoid incriminating yourself or participating in your own oppression. Victims are rarely in a position to make demands - defense attorneys and civil libertarians should keep this in mind.
