Recent data shows the vast majority of the five million people stopped-and-frisked by the NYPD over the past decade are African American or Latino, with nearly 90 percent neither ticketed nor arrested. We play secretly recorded police tapes heard in the courtroom and speak to three guests: Sunita Patel, a staff attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights and co-counsel on the stop &amp; Frisk federal class action lawsuit; Nicholas Peart, a Harlem resident who testified last month about his multiple experiences being stopped-and-frisked; and Ryan Devereaux, a journalist covering the trial for The Guardian and The Nation.<br /> <br /> Democracy Now!, is an independent global news hour that airs weekdays on 1,100+ TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.<br /> <br /> FOLLOW DEMOCRACY NOW!
