They're not stopping people on citi bikes going to work or central park (of any race). They're stopping younger men on trick bikes who can be dickheads and tend to be non-white in my observation (for whatever reason, cultural idk). Thats why theres a difference in the rates.
- leephillips 5y agoHow do you know this is what they’re doing, and that it accounts for the numbers? And would they be stopping them merely for riding a certain type of bike, or for doing...what exactly? I mean if it were illegal to be “kind of” a “dickhead” I would have been busted a long time ago.
- trident5000 5y agoI lived in nyc for 11 years and now live in a different city. The story is the same. First week I get here I see a group of thuggish kids on bikes talking shit to people as they go by. They're kids getting into trouble. And thats who the police are stopping. I dont have a spreadsheet for you Im just telling you my experience.
- leephillips 5y agoI don’t see the connection between your comment and the race issue, unless “thuggish” is your word for “black”.
- trident5000 5y agoThen I guess were done here if you dont see what Im getting at. I think ive explained enough you just dont like what im saying. And thuggish doesnt mean all black people.
