The NY Civil Liberties Union analyzed NYPD data that raise serious questions about police shooting practices and about the lack of racial diversity in the NYPD’s leadership.
Some "highlights" include:
• Over the past two years, 90% of the people shot at by the NYPD were Black or Latino.
• 85% of leadership positions in the NYPD are held by white males
• In 77% of the incidents where officers shot at civilians, the police were the only ones shooting (see Sean Bell, Amadou Diallo, etc).

That doesn't say anything about the NYPD it just means that people of said races commit more extreme crimes. Also, 90% of crimes commited by "colored people" is not that impressive considering the areas these statistics were taken from, and the high population of "colored people" in those areas. This is a horrible article and you this website should not support it. These police officers put their lives in danger to protect the citizens of New York and some people get some ignorant statistics and try to make these heros out to be bad people.
