Actor J.D. Williams—The Wire's Bodie—on the NYPD "Stop & Frisk" Policy

Democracy Now 

J.D. Williams, an actor who played drug dealer Preston "Bodie" Broadus on the hit HBO series, The Wire, took part in Sunday's New York City march against the NYP'D's stop-and-frisk policy. "It's a sad thing that becomes kind of natural with young black men," Williams says. "It becomes second nature with us, in a way that we expect to be stopped or we expect to be bothered or we expect to be harassed."

A new study has found that young black people in some parts of the UK are more than 30 times more likely than white youngsters to be subjected to random "stop and search" inspections by police.

Human rights advocates say that authorities encourage racial profiling. But now, there's a new mobile phone app to help those stopped report their experiences - and it has the backing of senior police officers.

Resistance to NYPD's "Stop-and-Frisk" Policy Comes to DC as Lawmakers, Groups Urge DOJ Probe

DemocracyNow 

Dozens of New York lawmakers and several advocacy groups are convening on Capitol Hill today to call on the Justice Department to investigate the New York City Police Department's controversial "stop-and-frisk" policies. Last year the NYPD stopped, frisked and interrogated people nearly 700,000 times -- mostly black and Latino men. In all, there were more stops of young African-American men than the total of population of that group in the city. "This is not about criminals -- this is about a generation that has been criminalized, targeted and brutalized by the police," says organizer Jamel Mims, a victim of stop-and-frisk. We're also joined by NAACP President Benjamin Jealous, who is helping to organize a silent march against racial profiling in New York City on Father's Day, June 17. "This is the biggest, most aggressive racial profiling problem that we have in this country, and it just has to be stopped," Jealous says.
