In a truly disturbing audio clip, recently released, a young boy can be heard arguing with members of the New York Police Department as they approach him for a second time in the same night, only a few blocks away from their first encounter.
This young boy – of mixed race – recorded his confrontation with the police on his iPod, and within the audio, one can hear the police threatening to physically hit the teen for him being a “mut and looking suspicious,” as one of the officer’s states.
This is just one instance of the NYPD’s morally wrong Stop-And-Frisk program which randomly targets people on the street that seem like they are “up to no good.”
The audio clip has put a lot of pressure on the NYPD for them to respect the citizens they are supposed to be protecting.
