The Hunted and the Hated: An Inside Look at the NYPD's Stop-and-Frisk Policy
-
Not Synced(Police Sirens)
-
Not SyncedYou look very suspicious.
-
Not SyncedCause you are always looking at me crazy.
-
Not Synced(Music Playing)
-
Not Synced(Altercation Occurring)
-
Not SyncedWhy you push me like that for?
-
Not SyncedThat is exactly how some (explicit) will go down.
-
Not SyncedJust like that.
-
Not SyncedJust like that.
-
Not SyncedPeople do not like the police because of the harassment.
-
Not SyncedAnd what civilians do not understand, is that the police department is like forcing us...
-
Not Synced...to do these unreasonable stops.
-
Not SyncedOr, you are going to get penalized.
-
Not SyncedI think the mayor is absolutely correct.
-
Not SyncedSome people are just very hurt by it, and upset, when they are stopped unnecessarily.
-
Not SyncedWell I understand that.
-
Not SyncedSome people...
-
Not SyncedYou know you're taking away, at the very least, you are taking up their time.
-
Not SyncedSo I understand, that people may not be happy with it.
-
Not SyncedBut I can also assure you, that I go to the communities, communities of color,...
-
Not Synced...people want more.
-
Not SyncedThey want more stop and frisks?
-
Not SyncedAbsolutely.
-
Not SyncedI had this captain that walked into the precinct, and he gave a speech about harassing the public.
-
Not SyncedHis words were...
-
Not SyncedWe are going to go out there and violate some rights.
-
Not SyncedWe hear it from the captain down.
-
Not SyncedWe want 250s.
-
Not SyncedThis is stop, question, and frisk.
-
Not Synced(phone ringing)
-
Not SyncedI was walking home from my girlfriends house, and a cop car went passed me.
-
Not SyncedA couple of seconds later I heard the car turn around.
-
Not SyncedAnd, they just popped out.
-
Not SyncedThey all just jumped out of the car.
-
Not SyncedI decided to record it because I was going to stop the law.
-
Not SyncedI didn't have evidence of cops being disrespectful and everything.
-
Not SyncedSo I pressed the button, and it records the whole thing.
-
Not SyncedYo I just got stopped like two blocks ago.
-
Not SyncedCause you are always looking at me crazy.
-
Not SyncedThat's our job man.
-
Not SyncedListen to me.
-
Not SyncedBecause you keep doing that (explicit) man. We stopped you last time.
-
Not Synced(altercation occurring)
-
Not SyncedWhy you touching me for?
-
Not SyncedHe was holding me.
-
Not SyncedHe was going through my pockets.
-
Not SyncedGoing up and down.
-
Not SyncedHe was going through my sweater.
-
Not SyncedThan that's when he told me to keep my hands on my head.
-
Not SyncedSo I was like this the whole time.
-
Not SyncedFo what?
-
Not SyncedShut your (explicit)mouth.
-
Not SyncedWhy am I getting arrested for?
-
Not Synced(yelling) Shut your mouth!
-
Not SyncedHe decided to take my hands, from here, and put it behind my back.
-
Not SyncedLike that.
-
Not Synced(yelling) Shut you (explicit) mouth!
-
Not SyncedI was..
-
Not Synced(yelling)
-
Not SyncedYou're going to break my arm?
-
Not SyncedFor what?
-
Not SyncedWho is your father?
-
Not SyncedHe is not going to answer he doesn't have a phone.
-
Not SyncedHe is a traffic cop?
-
Not SyncedFigures.
-
Not Synced(recording playing)
-
Not SyncedWhile they holding me...
-
Not SyncedThe sergeant is holding me like this.
-
Not SyncedHe like, I'm going to break your arm.
-
Not SyncedI'm like..I'm like, you're going to break my arm?
-
Not SyncedYeah and I am going to punch you in the face.
-
Not SyncedAre you going to punch my in my face.
-
Not SyncedHe is like yeah, and then I am going to arrest you.
-
Not SyncedI'm like, arrest me for what?
-
Not SyncedHe is like, for being a mutt.
-
Not SyncedSo he grabbed me, by my book bag, and started pushing me down.
-
Not SyncedSo I am going backwards down a hill, and he just kept pushing me and pushing me.
-
Not SyncedIt looked like he was going to hit me.
-
Not SyncedI felt like they were trying to make me resist, so they could fight me back.
-
Not Synced(recording playing)
-
Not SyncedI am mad just hearing that thing.
-
Not SyncedHow may words could really describe that.
-
Not SyncedIt's just disturbing.
-
Not SyncedBut, that is exactly what is happening.
-
Not SyncedLike, I can relate to what he is doing.
-
Not SyncedCause I know that situation.
-
Not SyncedThey just don't got no respect for us.
-
Not SyncedAnd they wonder why we don't have respect for them.
-
Not SyncedFor them to just call him names like that like...
-
Not SyncedThat is just crazy.
-
Not SyncedDo you think, that during stops, that some police officers try to provoke,...
-
Not Synced..so that they can justify arrests?
-
Not SyncedOf course they do.
-
Not SyncedA lot of police officers they try to set civilians off.
-
Not SyncedThen once they start talking, start cursing, they can wack them off for anything.
-
Not SyncedThere were two minorities leaning against the wall.
-
Not SyncedThey weren't doing anything.
-
Not SyncedMy sergeant ordered me to write them blocking pedestrian traffic.
-
Not SyncedIf you are a certain ethnicity, standing on the corner,...
-
Not Synced...lieutenants, sergeants, have no problem violating your rights and racial profiling.
-
Not SyncedThere was one statement, that the sergeant said, about what he used to do.
-
Not SyncedHe used to stop a guy walking down the street...
-
Not Synced...with baggy pants, his underwear hanging out, and he'd just stop him.
-
Not SyncedI know he is probably up to nothing, but I just stop him anyway to give him a 250.
-
Not SyncedIt's this one cop.
-
Not SyncedThat everybody is the neighborhood knows.
-
Not SyncedI was like three times already.
-
Not SyncedHe was like, "Now come here".
-
Not SyncedSo they got out the car.
-
Not SyncedThey threw my friend on the car.
-
Not SyncedI'm still walking.
-
Not SyncedHe spun me around and punched me in my stomach.
-
Not SyncedHe started just patting us down.
-
Not SyncedHe just left us there.
-
Not SyncedWhat we are trying to do is, is make certain that it is done as professionally as possible.
-
Not SyncedThat the proper respect is shown and done according to the law.
-
Not SyncedThis goes all the way up.
-
Not SyncedAll the way up to the commissioners office.
-
Not SyncedI'd say even the mayors office.
-
Not SyncedWhere they are trying to be proactive.
-
Not SyncedHey look, we are stopping people and getting drugs and guns off the streets.
-
Not SyncedBut think about the 600,000 people that were stopped last year.
-
Not SyncedOnly 1%, of those that were stopped, were not carrying weapons.
-
Not SyncedThe NYPD controversial Stop and Frisk policy...
-
Not SyncedLast year your police officer stopped and interrogated people nearly 686,000 times.
-
Not SyncedToday, that a lawsuit raises serious questions about quotas, racial profiling, and constitutional rights.
-
Not SyncedThe public isn't aware of what's happening, but everything is being look at as far as numbers.
-
Not SyncedIt's a numbers game.
-
Not SyncedOk.
-
Not SyncedWhat did you get last year?
-
Not SyncedWell, you have to match it, and give me more this year.
-
Not SyncedThey're trying to keep all of this stuff quiet.
-
Not SyncedSo this is my proof, that they are putting pressure on me to write summonses.
-
Not SyncedCommanders are trying to be proactive, or show that they are being proactive.
-
Not SyncedHere you have a system where people are told to get those numbers,...
-
Not Synced... to where they should to be, and you will get your promotion.
-
Not SyncedThe commanding officer wants to become a deputy inspector.
-
Not SyncedThe executive officer wants to become a commanding officer.
-
Not SyncedIf you do well, by keeping the arrests up and the summonses up,...
-
Not Synced...you will be promoted to the next rank.
-
Not SyncedSo, they put pressure on the police officers to generate numbers and arrests.
-
Not SyncedI mean, lets be real, it is a quota.
-
Not SyncedNobody wants to call it that.
-
Not SyncedBut, that is what it is.
-
Not SyncedThey can call it a performance objective.
-
Not SyncedThey call it a goal that can mask it.
-
Not SyncedHowever they want.
-
Not SyncedIt's a quota, and it does exist.
-
Not SyncedSome of us, under the stress, make them up.
-
Not SyncedSome of us, under the stress, stop innocent people and search them.
-
Not SyncedThey are sending units out there that will run around and search anybody.
-
Not SyncedWhat happens to the officer if they don't do what the police department told to do?
-
Not SyncedAs far as quotas, they will come after you.
-
Not SyncedCome after you meaning transfers low evaluations.
-
Not SyncedThey give you unwanted assignments.
-
Not SyncedPut you in a post which is very dangerous.
-
Not SyncedHigh crime
-
Not SyncedBy yourself.
-
Not SyncedIn a corner.
-
Not SyncedThis is a form of retaliation.
-
Not SyncedBasically a change of tours.
-
Not SyncedPut you on the midnight.
-
Not SyncedThey make you look bad on paperwork.
-
Not SyncedThat paperwork will trail you for the rest of your police career.
-
Not SyncedAnd knowing that your livelihood is at stake, you meet the quota.
-
Not SyncedIt does create this feeling, of hey listen, I got to get my numbers.
-
Not SyncedWhen you put that pressure on the officer, this us versus them mentality does exist.
-
Not SyncedWhen I cam into this police department, I wanted to help people.
-
Not SyncedBut the civilian population they are being hunted.
-
Not SyncedInstead of being protected by us, they're being hunted.
-
Not SyncedWe're being hated.
-
Not SyncedThe police department is pushing the new guys to be bounty hunters.
-
Not SyncedI use that word because that is exactly what it is.
-
Not SyncedThey're hunting.
-
Not SyncedThere's a lot of officers, that are fed up, and want to do something about it.
-
Not SyncedAnd, they're people who are scared.
-
Not SyncedThere's a lot of officers that would like to tell their story.
-
Not SyncedBut, no one wants to hear the truth.
-
Not SyncedNobody wants to hear the bad.
-
Not SyncedYou need police, but the police department needs to change things.
-
Not SyncedAt one point, I did want to be a cop.
-
Not SyncedTo help people, and mostly be able to wear a badge, and uniform, and be proud of it.
-
Not SyncedNow I feel like i'm not sure.
-
Not SyncedCause they're not there to help people anymore.
-
Not SyncedThey are just there to like stop and humiliate them.
-
Not SyncedMake them feel bad.
-
Not SyncedThere is no excuses for the way they treated me.
-
Not SyncedThis one individual was thinking about doing NYPD.
-
Not SyncedThe first thing I told him was, "Definitely not."
-
Not SyncedThis job, racial profiles, will force you to do things that you don't want to do.
-
Not SyncedWe're supposed to be the best in the world.
-
Not SyncedWe're the best at making money, and we are the best at arresting, and summonsing, everybody.
