LIU ON JUDGE’S REJECTION OF STAY OF OVERHAUL OF STOP AND FRISK

  City Comptroller John C. Liu made the following statement in response to U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin’s ruling on Tuesday that New York City cannot delay the court-ordered overhaul of its police department's unconstitutional stop-and-frisk policy:

 

“Judge Shira Scheindlin is right not to let City Hall delay the overhaul of the NYPD’s unconstitutional stop and frisk policy.  We look forward to the day when this harassment of minorities is abolished entirely.”
