PROVIDENCE, R.I. — New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has been shouted down by protesters during a talk at Brown University, and his planned lecture called "Proactive Policing in America's Biggest City" was canceled.

Dozens of students and social justice activists protested before Tuesday afternoon's lecture because of the department's stop-and-frisk policy and its surveillance of Muslims. Many protesters then went inside the hall and began shouting about stop and frisk and racism during the talk.

Brown officials asked the protesters to reserve their comments until a question-and-answer session with Kelly. When the shouts continued, the hall was cleared.

The department is fighting off lawsuits alleging it has engaged in racial profiling while fighting crime. Kelly and Mayor Mike Bloomberg have denied the accusations.

1. How can anyone deny with a straight face that there is profiling in that stop/frisk policy?

5. Well see sure 90% stopped is Blacks and Latinos sure, but that's only because

white people in New york Drive more. It's much harder to frisk a fast moving target.

So see if THE Whites were more environmentally conscious and Walked more, they would get frisked too.

that's why it's not racial Profiling, white people simple can't be found on the streets of NYC


<------for the idiots who take me seriously

DISCLAIMER
Even if they only Stopped White people it's bad law. It turns the Police against the community
