Thousands of people held a silent march in New York City on Sunday to protest the New York City Police Department’s controversial “stop-and-frisk” policies. The warantless search initiative has drawn accusations of being unconstitutional and primarily targeting people of color, mostly black and Latino men. Organized by the NAACP, the march proceeded down Fifth Avenue to the home of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Eight people were arrested at the end of the march after a large group of protesters remained in the streets.
