NYC police more likely to question black, Latino subway riders, investigation finds

The New York Police Department is far more likely to stop and question black and Latino subway riders than white commuters — particularly in Manhattan — according to a report in the New York Daily News.

Blacks and Hispanics make up nearly half of subway riders, yet account for nearly 90 percent of the citizens stopped and questioned in the subways in the last two years, the paper’s investigation found.”*
