Thousands march against NYC’s controversial ‘stop-and-frisk’ policy (PHOTOS)
Several thousand demonstrators have joined a silent march down New York City’s Fifth Avenue to show their defiance of NYPD’s controversial “stop-and-frisk” policy, which they say discriminates against the city’s black and Latino communities.
The march was quiet and peaceful as protesters from civil rights groups slowly walked along Central Park from Harlem to the house of New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg. However, the march ended with at least three arrests after several scuffles between activists and police officers.
New York police frequently stop and frisk individuals it considers suspicious. Last year they stopped more than 685,000 people, mostly black and Hispanic young men, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU). Critics say this often results in discrimination against law-abiding citizens.
Members of labor unions and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) walked along with Occupy movement activists, students, religious groups and anti-war activists. Marchers carried banners and posters bearing slogans such as “End stop and frisk” and “Stop racial profiling.”
