Philadelphia to ban police from stopping drivers for low-level traffic violations

When Philadelphia's mayor signs landmark legislation as soon as this week, the city will become the first major U.S. city to ban police from stopping drivers for low-level traffic violations — stops that studies show target Black drivers at disproportionately higher rates.

Black drivers, which comprise 48% of Philadelphia's population, accounted for 72% of the nearly 310,000 traffic stops by police officers between October 2018 and September 2019, according to data from the Defender Association of Philadelphia. As of this year, Black drivers account for 67% of stops compared to just 12% of White drivers, the data shows.

The Philadelphia Police Department has 1,933 Black officers, comprising about 31 percent of its sworn force. 

Their top cop is a female minority. 

She has a wall of awards. 

She came from Portland, Oregon. And we all know how well they’re doing. 

Clown world 

Nobody ever talks about culture within the black community. It’s almost illegal to do so. 

I’m curious who the 2,000 black officers in Philadelphia are pulling over. I would be interested in seeing those statistics. 

I bet the stats wouldn’t fit their narrative 

why is  "need detox" trolling the politics forum when he should b out trick or treating with his pals ?

Nothing to see here folks, ...............move along.

Philadelphia broke its all-time record for homicides this week

San Fran... Chicago... NYC... Philly... Portland... Seattle... Baltimore.... whats common denominator?

Ummm what is democratic run cities?

What cities are starting to add MORE FUNDING FOR POLICE because of increased crime rates and civil citizens becoming more afraid to leave their residence. You know, the civil citizens that spend money in their local economy to keep businesses thriving. As opposed to the criminals that steal and destroy hard working Americans wealth and take instead of give. 

                      The stats in the 1st post are accurate, as for cops shooting minorities that's under resisting arrest, you can thank Obama for some of that.
