Racial Profiling Lives On

*Judge Shira A. Scheindlin ruled that the stop-and-frisk practices of the NYPD violate the constitution
*Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg was disappointed with that ruling because it is "...a very dangerous decision made by a judge who I think does not understand how policing works." 
*Judge Scheindlin is a Federal District Court Justice in Manhattan and her ruling doesn't come close to the authority of the Supreme Court 
*Supreme Court has given police officers permission to target African-Americans and Latinos with little or no basis.
