Minorities remain the target of unjust policing despite the implementation of reforms meant to end discriminatory practices and the use of quotas within the New York City Police Department (NYPD), Justice Committee Co-Director Loyda Colon told Sputnik.
"It’s clear that officers still disproportionately target some New Yorkers over others," Colon said on Wednesday. "Members and constituents [from] low-income communities of color continue to be unjustly stopped, harassed, ticketed and arrested on a regular basis."
