Ok, non-white writing here. I've never been stopped and frisked and neither have most of my non-white friends. And it certainly doesn't happen "all the time", at least to me in my part of town. Although anecdotal, admittedly.



I'm just reminded of a story shared in New York in the 80's where a teacher asked his mostly 14-15 year old African American class if they had been stopped and frisked and every single one of them held their hand up.


Well, me and my friends have different experiences then.


It sounded to me like they were suggesting that Trump is planning to implement stop-and-frisk, not that it is already occurring all the time.
