I wonder if the cop that ordered this turned his back on DeBlasio last weekend?
A top Bronx cop was caught on tape telling an NYPD whistleblower to specifically target male blacks 14 to 21 for stop-and-frisk because they commit crimes.
Stop the right people, the right time, the right location, Deputy Inspector Christopher McCormack is heard saying on the recording.
He meant blacks and Hispanics, Officer Pedro Serrano, who made the secret recording, testified Thursday in Manhattan federal court.
So what am I supposed to do: Stop every black and Hispanic? Serrano was heard saying on the tape, which was recorded last month at the 40th Precinct in the Bronx.

McCormack said to focus on the Mott Haven section, where the problem was robberies and grand larcenies.
I have no problem telling you this, the inspector said on the tape. Male blacks. And I told you at roll call, and I have no problem [to] tell you this, male blacks 14 to 21.

For speaking out, the 43-year-old cop who joined the NYPD in 2004 testified earlier that he was smeared as a rat and ostracized by fellow officers.

Like Adhyl Polanco, the whistleblower officer who testified before him, Serrano said the quota system had the backing of the Patrolmens Benevolent Association.

(943 posts)5. This Top Cop should be ordered to explain this. Period. What's
wrong/the problem with this is the so call 'good cops' and minority cops sit quietly thru these kind of decisions/orders and say nothing. the one of 100 that does do something they end ostracized by other good and bad cops and fired by their superiors.
