A protest is being held today in Manhattan to oppose the New York City Police Department’s practice of stopping and frisking individuals even though they face no charges. Some 700,000 people are on pace to have been questioned under “stop and frisk” this year, the vast majority African Americans and Latinos. Religious leaders, students and activists have planned a rally in front of the Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Office Building in Harlem, followed by a march and act of civil disobedience at a local police station.
