Solutions to Ease Tension

As we know there are obviously tensions present in communities with high police presence and minority residents. That tension is caused by the harassment to the people by the police due to the "stop and frisk" policy, a violation that nobody should have to go through. Solutions to these tensions should be less random frisking and more concentrated. Don't stop people on a regular block just cause its dark. Stop people loitering on a busy corner known for drug activity and disorderly conduct. Don't ignore the people standing on the corner and keep driving or keep walking. Loitering is a crime after all, walking on the street is not, freedom of movement.

If police officers picked the right laws to enforce things would be good, because the good guys would go about their business freely and the bad guys will stand out, standing on a corner and going in and out of a building, and be apprehended. More experience officers should conduct stop and frisks if they must be done due to the fact that they have an idea of the people in a neighborhood and how to not make a person feel violated or humiliated. Opposed to sending these rookies out with orders to be aggressive, remember they're rookies, so they're scared as hell. So them being so scared cause them to think about only them and leads them to disrespect the people they're protecting, therefore humiliating and making an innocent person feel violated. The P.D should also consider that 4% number, we think it means something you should too, it means stop and frisk is not producing worthy results. So stop telling them to police aggressive and tell them to look out for specific things, like robberies,murders, rapes, drug transactions and users. All offenses that the city is plagued with, I could imagine the amount of unsolved murders that's just going nowhere and the cops are harassing us instead of getting the rapists murderers and muggers.

Simply do the right things as a Police force and the People would do the right thing and give support to and give respect to the police; which is a very hard to find at this tense hostile time for minority relations with police. You can't just go around violating your supporters, then you just won't have any.
