But the 26-year NYPD veteran — who is the force’s highest-ranking black cop and was promoted Wednesday — reiterated that he believes the stop-and-frisk policy is an effective tool.

“I do believe that, when done correctly, stop-and-frisk will achieve the desired results — and those results are less people being shot,” he said.
“When done incorrectly, you certainly put a divide between the police and the community.”
Roughly 90 percent of stop-and-frisks are performed on black or Hispanic people. Cops stopped 533,042 people last year.
Philip Banks Jr., the new chief’s dad — a retired 27-year NYPD veteran — taught his children what to do if stopped by cops.
“I instructed them how to respond by saying, ‘This is where I’m going, this is where I started, and this what I’m doing,’ ” he said. “A lot of times in our communities, police officers can’t tell a good guy from a bad guy. You have to be aware of things.”
He said that his sons wanted to wear trendy clothes growing up but that he told them, “Dressing like that is going to cause you to be stopped at some point because there’s nothing on your forehead that says you’re a good guy.”
Chief Philip Banks is the Ultimate Uncle Tom,and only proves that if you tie a dog to a tree and leave him there long enough you can remove the leash.....He'll the be comfortable by the tree, and be a good "Dog" r in this case "Nigger".
