Läckta uppgifter hos polisen i New York avslöjar att ett rasistiskt profileringssystem ingår i polisens normala arbetsrutiner.
Uppgifter som tidigare begärts ut via amerikansk domstol visar också på förödande siffror av rasism i den amerikanska polisens dagliga arbete.
USA-polisens så kallade "stop and frisk", vilket är godtyckliga kontroller och visitationer av medborgarna på gatan, visar förbluffande siffror.
Av 5 miljoner kontroller i USA har 87% utförts mot svarta och latinamerikaner.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second NYPD officer testifies on stop-and-frisk quotas, racial targeting
RT 2013-03-23Following a leaked recording seeming to prove the existence of an NYPD arrest quota system, a second police officer has come forward to explain to a federal judge why he decided to record his superiors as they directed him to increase “stop-and-frisks.”
Officer Pedro Serrano, an 8-year veteran of the New York Police Department, held back tears as he explained to the judge why he came forward: “It’s very simple. I have children. I try to be a decent person.”
Serrano joins another whistleblower from the Bronx, Officer Adhyl Polanco, who testified earlier this week regarding his own recordings as part of a federal class action suit against the City of New York seeking to address racial disparities in the department’s street stops.
Meanwhile, a 2003 settlement from a similar lawsuit set in place a requirement for the NYPD to track the stops. The resulting records showed that some 87 per cent of the 5 million individuals detained by police were black or Latino.
